Early on there was a road-blocking supercar traffic jam, small groups of cars stopping at every gas station along the way, stop-and-go traffic amongst motorhomess in Wickenburg and cars slowly trickling into the parking lot for lunch up in Prescott. This wasn&#8217;t entirely a bad thing, though, as it cleared up a little room for the cars to stretch their legs and gave a our 360 Spider a spirited, clear shot through the twisty mountain road leading into Prescott.<\/p>\n<p>Despite more than a few flaws and numerous cars ticketed, when Supercar Run 6 rolls around next year, I&#8217;ll be there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.desert-motors.com\/cpg\/albums\/tempphotos\/supercarrun5\/IMG_8620.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.desert-motors.com\/cpg\/albums\/tempphotos\/supercarrun5\/IMG_8247.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.desert-motors.com\/cpg\/albums\/tempphotos\/supercarrun5\/IMG_8634.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.desert-motors.com\/cpg\/thumbnails.php?album=355\">Click HERE to view the FULL GALLERY<\/a><\/strong> (89 Photos)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looked like a ridiculous house party.
