The “Parker Downtown Experience”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. 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 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”, which is now an over nine mile 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.
