RKM's Predictions Top 4 Qualifiers 1. Tom Meents - Maximum Destruction 2. Jimmy Creten - Bounty Hunter 3. Lee O'Donnel - Iron Man 4. Alex Blackwell - Wolverine Racing Semi Finals 1. Tom Meents - Maximum Destruction 2. Grave Digger - Dennis Anderson 3. Jimmy Creten - Bounty Hunter 4. Captain's Curse - Pablo Huffaker Freestyle Top 4 1. George Balhan - Mohawk Warrior 2. Neil Elliott - Hot Wheels 3.Adam Anderson - Grave Digger The Legend 4.Steve Sims - Stone Crusher Who do I think out of those has the best chance of winning racing or freestyle? Racing: Alex Blackwell - Wolverine Runner up: Tom Meents - Maximum Destruction Freestyle: Neil Elliott - Hot Wheels Runner up: Steve Sims - Stone Crusher There are my predictions which usually turn out wrong regardless of who I choose though for the last few years I've been dead on with a few freestyle picks. (When Pauken won, and Koehler last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Graves Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 32 trucks? I think its about damn time they expanded the field again, alot of really good and deserving trucks do not get the call to go to the World Finals when they should and most of them already make the trek out to Vegas for the Double Down and Pit Party. Tbh feld should lock 16 or 24 trucks into the event and let the rest of the field be filled with a go or go home qualifying session similar to what Nascar and NHRA does, would add another element to get butts in the seats for Friday night and would give guys who normally wouldn't get a shot at the World Finals, a legitimate chance to prove themselves on the biggest stage of them all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessionracing Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Sorry for asking this lol, but are you saying that they did expand it? But yes, that is a good idea. It sucks because all the feld trucks get the auto invite pretty much. Very few non feld trucks make it (Shock therapy, Backdraft) but what about people like Patriot, El Matador, bad habit, (Obsessed JK XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few non feld trucks make it (Shock therapy, Backdraft) but what about people like Patriot, El Matador, bad habit, (Obsessed JK XD) You have to realize that feld pays the drivers to compete, i do not believe they pay them to get to the show, therefore some drivers may turn down the invite cause they can not afford to make it there.

Patriotic Canadian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 and would give guys who normally wouldn't get a shot at the World Finals, a legitimate chance to prove themselves on the biggest stage of them all. This. a thousand times this. it's exactly what monster jam's missing, that element of "run your own game" hope for small game trucks looking for a massive break.

Travis Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'll finally be making it out there. Booking the flight this week, going to be a great show. But about letting drivers qualify in, it was mentioned that FELD pays the drivers to compete there and to do displays or whatever it is they have them do. The problem with teams qualifying in is that it costs way to much money to drive there and run their truck for free. That's what they would be doing if they had the opportunity to qualify in. It just doesn't work. I think it would be great if FELD could give them a set amount of money to try to qualify and then give them more if they were to make into the show. Statistics have shown the World Finals pumps over one million dollars to Las Vegas' economy. No reason it couldn't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Graves Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 He ran really well over the summer at the Euro tour, won quite a few races against some pretty good drivers. Don't really matter who gets them when, we all know 20 of the drivers that are already going 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that this would be a good year to expand to a 32 truck field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
