The Best in the Desert racing series may have kicked off its 2013 season with the Parker 250 last month, but the four-wheeled trucks and buggies are starting off the BITD season this weekend with the Parker 425.

As usual, the Trick Trucks and Class 1500 buggies took to the qualifying course for starting times in this weekend’s race, and it was Rob MacCachren in the #6 Trick Truck taking top honors. He edged out fellow truck racer Robby Gordon, who finished in second place after his recent return from the Dakar Rally.

Finishing in third place was Ray Griffith in the #1553 Class 15, while two other trucks rounded out the top five in Jason Voss and Shawn Croll, respectively. Check back for more coverage on the 2013 BITD Parker 425.
