2019 AZOP Rowley White RV Series, Round 6

AZOP Grand Prix Race Brings Competitors Into the Mountains

With the summer heat having taken over the low-lying deserts, the month of July sees a yearly shift to the few mountain towns of Arizona that boast cooler weather for the offroad community. With two major races separated by only two weeks taking place in the mountains near Flagstaff most spectators and racers were just glad to be out of the stifling desert heat. The first of these races saw a sizable contingent of car haulers and motorhomes descending on the sleepy mountain town of Mormon Lake to take on the lake-side grand prix track put together by Arizona Offroad Promotions for the 6th round of the 2019 Rowley White RV Series.

The race - which was presented by Superior Truck Parts and Go AZ Motorcycles - featured a course that snaked itself around a mostly flat piece of property on the lakebed. A motocross style section added some vertical components but the character of the track favored those drivers and riders who could take advantage of big sweepers and tight, bermed corners.

The wide and fast track made for lots of passing and presented traffic issues for the fastest competitors as the slower participants on the course often came into play around the halfway point of each race. With plenty of places to go 3-wide (or more for the bikes) there were lots of exciting moments for the spectators. Combined with the rather stunning backdrop of forested mountains and a herd of local elk grazing lazily a few hundred yards away on the lakebed it is easy to see why this race has become a favorite on the annual AZOP calendar.
