For the record there are 3 BITD races in Parker. I was referring to the trophy truck/vehicle class races. The Parker 250 is a motorcycle/utv race every January and also attracts thousands of spectators to the area.
Awesome interview with one of the icons in desert racing! Thanks Parker for opening up your town and supporting off-road racing!! See you next week as we man our check point in Osborne Wash.
