AKIQPilot Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Well the annual week long event called the Parker 425 wrapped up yesterday. This race has been going on for over 4 decades and started out as the Parker 400 back in the day when Ivan Stewart and Walker Evans used to battle one another in stock Yodas and F-150’s with beefed up shocks. This is an incredible event for any motorsports enthusiast. A few pics from the Parker Experience on Wednesday. These rigs have just completed their qualifying lap. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 The race started yesterday morning at 7am. The sun hadn't quite broken above the horizon when the green flag dropped. A friend of mine in Havasu sponsors the #70, Concrete Motorsports team. This is a brand new Geiser Brothers G6 Trophy Truck. This is the very latest in Trophy Truck technology. This truck is powered by a 950hp supercharged 4.6L Ford built by Roush Racing. The motor package alone is $250k Lets see if some of these videos will post. 7am yesterday morning. Im parked at Race Mile 4 of the 145 mile long course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Ok lets try that again. 7AF52AD0-84C8-466A-B73C-09B36CF4227A.MOV 6F1BFB4A-8C5A-4B41-8153-F320C5DF5E2F.MOV C262760E-2D3C-4D16-AA4E-58B21D17CB89.MOV 5CB4D1A9-0140-4EC0-8B8F-09F9D6B23C5A.MOV 39891D37-1CF8-4937-B38F-96B5B4FC5415.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its a motor that starts life as a solid billet ingot. It has to make +900hp and survive 9000 rpm for 8 hours straight. $250k sounded a little high to me but two different teams told me the Roush engine packages cost that much. Maybe thats what the motor package cost for the entire season of racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. I think these are pushrod motors. They are cloaked in Carbon fiber so its hard to see them but the Roush motors look a lot like a LS when bolted in the chassis.

Legend Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Yeah that's got to be $250K for the season. Probably on a lease program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
