Resort
Parker, Arizona (February 3, 2006)
The nation’s top off road racers lined up early this morning at the Blue Water Resort and Casino parking lot awaiting the opening of BITD Parker 425 Tech & Contingency.
First in line was the #4 Mexicana Logistics Trophy Truck owned by Gustavo Vildosola who co-drives with the legend in the desert – Rob MacCachren.
Rob MacCachren had the fastest time of the Trick Truck time trials and was only beat out by Class 1500 John Herder driving his Jimco-built super fast machine.
Contingency is wild today and the crowds are big in the river side city of Parker, Arizona.
One of the big stories here in contingency is, of course, Honda’s Steve Hengeveld, the 1X multiple Baja 1000 winner, driving the Jones Motorsports #76 Trick Truck with 1X partner Mike Childress while the BITD Trick Truck Champion-Jesse Jones, drives his #1 Geiser Trick Truck.
In yesterday’s time trials Hengeveld & Childress finished 11th in class and 25th overall.
Today they are stickering up the Jones Motorsports #76 Trick Truck with direction from Jones Motorsports Crew Chief – Jerry French.
Andy McMillin arrived to contingency in the McMillin Homes #83 Trick Truck ready to race in his first-ever Parker 425 race. DirtNewz.com’s own – Brittany Sanchez caught up with McMillin at contingency.
