Rocky Point Poker Run and Desert Race this Weekend Hosted by Arizona Desert Racing Association
Poker Run Friday April 26th, Racing Saturday April 27th ​

GILBERT, AZ APRIL 22, 2013: This weekend is the perfect time to head to Rocky Point, enjoy a afternoon poker run, a day of desert racing and then the warm and sunny beaches! The Arizona Desert Racing Association continues it’s second season with the Thunder on the Beach Shootout desert race in Rocky Point Mexico on April 26th and 27th. Friday’s Poker Run is open to anyone from 4-6pm for only $10 per vehicle. Saturday’s race will be broken down into Sportsman classes in the morning at 9am, and Pro classes in the afternoon at 1pm. “I can’t even stress how nice this area is. It is on the other side of the border, but we have done a lot to ensure everyones safety, and the safety of your vehicles,†said Tim Jones, President of the Arizona Desert Racing Association. “Trust me, it is worth it. The Sand Beach Resort area in Rocky Point is incredible. I have been down there a couple of times setting up the course and it is going to be really cool. It will be a 20 mile loop of fast sections with fun twists including a sand hill and a short course track in the infield.â€

“Just like all of our races, this will be a fun, yet challenging race course for drivers. We welcome all levels of drivers and have positioned our series for new racers to get their feet wet in the morning classes and the big boys to come out and make some dust in the afternoon class, all at a reasonable and affordable entry fees,†continued Tim Jones.

...and it keeps going... READ MORE

Posted the Wrap up Press Release today!

If your not familiar with this AZ based series, I think a couple of the fun parts are....

- Poker Run Pre-Run on Friday afternoon's! Anyone (including locals) can participate in playing a hand for $10, or you can pre-run without playing. There were 48 vehicles playing at last weekends Poker Run - winner took $240! Most the time the UTV's are the one's having the most fun

- Loop racing you may think is boring, but it has many benefits, especially for newer teams or less funded teams that only have a few guys that can come out. You too can be successful with a couple buddies and a extra can of fuel!

Anyways, here is the info on the Rocky Point race

GILBERT, AZ MAY 8, 2013: Thunder on the Beach Shootout Desert Race in Rocky Point Mexico was an excellent 140-mile course for spectators and racers alike. “We really appreciate everyone that came over the border to enjoy one of my favorite areas in Mexico,” said Tim Jones, President of the Arizona Desert Racing Association. “We had some excellent racing on a fun track, so we are calling it another successful weekend for ADRA. I’m not saying there were a ton of racers, we would really like to see the car counts increase, but we also understand that it takes time to show everyone that we are here to provide an affordable loop style of desert racing in Arizona and of course Rocky Point.”

The Arizona Desert Racing Association weekend started out on Friday with a 20 mile poker run where racers got to pre-run the course in a fun atmosphere and locals got to participate in the action as well. With 48 vehicles on the course, the winner of the Poker Run was Ryan McCoskey who took home $240 or 2820 Pesos!

The Friday night Drivers Meeting and Party was held at Playa Bonita Restaurant Terrace, with the ocean crashing as the backdrop. It was a beautiful night to kick off a race weekend.

Saturday morning’s race was 100 miles, or 5 laps of the Rocky Point desert terrain. First place in the 5-1600 Buggies was Martin Rangel and second was Terri Ross. Sportsman Buggy Unlimited winner was Kevin Brown and second was Keith Hughes. The winner of the UTV Class was Tony Larabell, second was Paul Cummins and third was Donnie Zipf.

Saturday afternoon’s race was 140 miles, or 6 laps of the course. The pro class included Loren Brown winning Class 1 with Armando Bravo in second, Randy Blume in third and Bryon Seed in fourth. Class 10 winner Josh Beyer was a close 5 minutes ahead of Dave Carlson in second. Class 12 Mark Fisk was the only finisher. In the ½-1600 Buggies class Will Kellner won with Brian McKee just 43 seconds behind him in second. Bruce Johnston took third and Brent McKee took fourth. Class 8 Truck winner Joel Parra won by a full lap on Ryan McCoskey who took second and Javier Pacheco who took third. Ultra 4x4 Jeremy Hammer was the only one to complete all 6 laps in his class with Mark Mason having early issues. ADRA uses a Grand Prix finish to determine the winners in each class, otherwise known as the driver with the most laps completed within their class.

“Just like all of our races, this was a fun, yet challenging race course for drivers. We welcome all levels of drivers and have positioned our series for new racers to get their feet wet in the morning classes and the big boys to come out and make some dust in the afternoon class, all at a reasonable and affordable entry fees,” said Tim Jones.
