MonsterJam2008

Does the camera freak out when you break stuff?

Im gonna be the black sheep and say right now. Never before have drivers had the resources to push the trucks like they do now. Sure we all complain about the decisions Feld makes, but honestly an average show today is better than a great show back in 2010. Yes it would be nice to see more crush cars and bus stacks, but all dirt, when not stupidly steep, has made for some of the best shows. 

Avenger looks great, but the white makes me want an all white avenger someday. 

Its to early to judge the track right now. Im guessing it will be like the changes between wf11 and wf12. wf11 was way to big, everybody complained and wf12 was awesome, im guessing a similar thing will happen this year. 

After looking at the lineup this year I have come to the conclusion 32 trucks isn't enough, but at the same time is to many trucks. With only 32 trucks drivers like Steven Sims, Pablo Huffaker, Dan Rodoni, Lupe Soza etc. don't get to compete. 32 trucks is to many because instead of the 16-20 best drivers, we get the likes of Nichole Johnson, Chad Forture, Frank Kremel, and the #moremonsterjam guys who haven't done a stadium show all season. Either increase the driver count to 40+ or drop it back down to where is started 16-20. Im not saying Chad, Frank, and the #moremonsterjam guys aren't good drivers, but they can't compete with Anderson, Meents, Weenk, Bradshaw, etc. So Feld should either include everybody or exclude all but the best. The point series was a good idea and with a few tweaks, like points for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place, could be the future of Monster Jam. 

How about going back to the dark green for avenger, that would look cool.

All the drivers will slowly trickle in this week. I'm willing to bet by Sunday all 50+ trucks that participate in the pit party will be there.

I just want to see Dan Rodoni there again, he put on a great show last year

Track: similar to the changes made between wf 11 and wf 12, DRIVER INPUT!

YGS: Steven

Racing: Tom Meents

Freestyle: Neil Elliot

Also a feeling something is gonna go flying, its the world finals and the officials are going to be even more lenient about RII, and drivers that don't normally stab the throttle will. 

Can we get Dawn to take her spot. She is a great driver. 

Cool, I do see the 25th anniversary body there as well, maybe half and half, similar to Avenger at WF6

John is an all around better driver than Madusa, but he would only sub for her in Freestyle and John's a better racer than freestyler.

I always thought the Colosseum would be a great place for a monster truck show. 

As long as its a different style of truck body, its okay. But three of the same body? Just doesnt make sense. Its like racing dor they have teammates, same gear but a different number. So

 That would be the logical way to do it. This also got me thinking, we never had a problem before with Pablo in Wolverine, or Charlie in the mutt, he still used the digger chassis. I know that Dustin has the mutt and im looking forward to seeing him, but Charlie in spooky digger would be awesome to see again. (WF13 encore) Same goes for the Max-D truck, there are three different designs for the Max-D body, use on of each. 

I know for Max-d they have 3 paint jobs to choose from, and the diggers have a couple of paint variants as well. Personally I want to see Tom back in Team Meents. 

Either Lee or Gary, since I know Chad will be there no matter what 

I don't know about the freestyle, but Pauken should be in Vegas

I like, its different. 

I disagree, Candice might not win, but look at world finals 15 she hit everything, kept up the momentum and scored fairly well. George had bad luck at world finals 15, he usually puts on an enjoyable freestyle, and makes it through a few rounds of racing. 

Danny is a psychic 

Do you think Cam will try a backflip in reverse again, and if he does anybody think he'll use a custom transmission so he can get more speed in reverse?

That would be cool for vegas, a matte gray sorta like what he did for wf11

I posted this in the a different thread and Danny had a good response. 

"Don't know if this has been brought up, or if anybody has noticed, but I'm gonna predict all the drives from the championship series will be in Vegas. Mainly because drives like Sims and Koehler will be in Vegas whether they win or not, and looking at the list of drives, most are past World Finals competitors or drivers fans have been wanting in Vegas for years."

"Personally, I'd be pretty livid if War Wizard, Thunder 4X4 or Bad News got in the finals. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad drivers but they're far from Vegas material. I'd love to see Titan back to get redemption, and I think Steven has Chris Bergeon Syndrome from 2004-2008 by that I mean he seems to go too big too fast, other than in Tampa of course but still he needs to get a better balance. The skill and guts are there, but it's not as well harnessed as it needs to be"

This track and the one Mark showed a few pages back are amazing, they take established obstacles slightly change them to better suite RoR but still look like something that could appear in a stadium. Great job on the tracks.
