The Parker 400 Returns with Spectacular Off-road Racing and Thousands of Fans!

Unlimited Off-Road Racing announced today that the 50th Anniversary of The Parker 400 Off-Road race was a massive success. Nearly 125 off-road warriors in twenty-five classes competed on the newly CRIT Gauntlet and infamous Parker desert race course for three exciting days in front of a crowd of over twenty-thousand race fans, campers and spectators. The legendary and challenging Parker race course pulled no punches, taking out nearly 35% of the field who succumbed to mechanical issues. There were two racer rollovers but no serious injuries and the racers involved are recovering at home thanks to the quick and professional work of the Unlimited safety and retrieval team. And there were no major law enforcement or spectator management issues, thanks to careful planning and coordination with the BLM, La Paz County Sheriff's Office, and CRIT PD and Fish and Game. The weather proved to be ideal for racing and spectating, and drew massive crowds to the area, with an estimated economic impact to be in the multiple millions.
