When I used to go to Parker AZ I would go through Desert Center. Years ago there was nothing there but a burger stand in the middle of nowhere. We used to call it "Iguana on a Stick."

Looks like there is still nothing there. Joe B., you'd be bored inside of a day.

Well, go to Vegas and buy a house next door to tabs. The median price fell to about 150K for a 3 bed. And there is a decent hospital and medical care in LV. The weather might even be better.

Hey, you're next door to Chuckwalla raceway!

It is a bit isolated...

Last time I went through there they had really built the place up pretty good, there was one abandoned gas station and two closed down fast food joints

rice road (hwy 177 IIRC) heads north of there to Parker, we used to call it the 100 mph road.

I'm not going to say who, but many years ago "someone" in his yoot was going fast enough on that road to make the beverage can in the center console of his van float when going over the hoop-ty-doos


BTW, ..... I heard a rumor that chuckwalla raceway is near there







pop. 125?
No way. Maybe it's supposed to be 12.5

yeah but you can still get on the track for under $200 a day...
Would be nice to find a weekend rental by your lake for a race weekend.

First time I saw a track with 10 miles of run off, in every direction
Don't hafta worry about trees or armco.

Was that Mr. O in BBII in that black 911? He needs a bigger wing


Obviously that 944-looking blur he passed at 5:45 wasn't well-set up.
