The entry list for the upcoming “Parker 425” is looking like a “who’s who” of off-road racing, with well over 550 having already signed up for the pre-fun run. This “crown jewel” of desert racing is drawing the top drivers and teams from across the nation and Canada. Robby Gordon headlines a list of Trick Truck racers that also includes Roger Norman, Larry Roeseler, Chet Huffman, Jerry Welchel, Rick D. Johnson, Steve Sourapas and Andy McMillin, Troy Herbst, Jason Voss, Will Staats, Jesse Jones, Scott Kincaid, Kevin McGillivray, and Steve Olliges.
The open class 1500 field features defending champ Kevin Colan along with Chuck Hovey, Harley Letner, John Cooley, Mike Bilek, Steve Raskett, Pat Dean and Sam Berri. Also ready to take on the challenging Parker course will be defending class 8000 champ Macrae Glass, class 7200 champ David Caspino, and Protruck champ Ryan Staats.
Added to this year’s festivities is the “Parker Downtown Experience”. This special event takes place after the completion of Thursday’s Time Trials. Competitors will parade their race vehicles down the streets of Parker to the center of town for a grand celebration kicking off the action packed weekend. With an open invitation to all of the citizens of Parker, AZ, along with racers and fans, this is sure to be an exciting and memorable affair. The racers will then parade back to the Blue Water Casino for a party to announce the results of the Time Trials and the winner of the $1,000 “Team Ford Pole Award” presented by Steve Olliges, president of Team Ford Las Vegas.
Contingency gets underway Friday morning in the Blue Water Casino parking lot. Thousands of spectators and race fans are expected and will have the chance all day long to get up close to the race vehicles and drivers as they weave their way through the hundreds of contingency donors set up on display.
At daybreak Saturday, the real business of the weekend gets underway when the first race vehicle blasts off the line at the start held on the streets in the middle of downtown Parker. Every racer will be on equal ground, including returning champions, as their quest for the season class championships begins. Back this year is the fan favorite and hugely popular “Parker Python”, a special two mile infield section of thrilling jumps and switch-backs in the middle of the main pits.
The overall race winner will be crowned with the newly announced “Manny Esquerra Valor Award”, recognizing his legendary contribution to the sport of off-road desert racing.
The 2010 Blue Water Resort & Casino “PARKER 425”…If you’re a racer, you don’t want to miss the “battle of the best”. If you’re a race fan, you don’t want to miss the exciting adventure.
