I think they're gonna hold off on announcing any of the FS1 Competitors until the season is over (although right now it's impossible for Mikey to win since he's rocking 0 points)

I'll arrange a meeting with the team's graphic artist to whip up a rockin' decal for the roof of EVO.

If you ever have any remote chance of making it to any of the AMSOIL Series events, do it. That's all I'll say.

2. Monster Jam is headed to MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, New Jersey) on APRIL 23. Boys, if this isn't a typo, we may be screwed. 

Most of us would be outta school, or for those who have a career, summer break, when it comes time for MetLife Stadium, but the fact that it could be happening in April this year is making me nervous.

This is a great date change because I won't be sweating my gonads off when I'm working there.

It's not true. East Rutherford, Nashville, and Foxborough are the official stops this year.

It is.

With just 3 days left until the haulers leave the shop, our team has a handful of tires left to mount before the trailers can be declared... packed and ready to go.

Kevin isn't running the Strait Jacket name/body for this season.

BKT doesn't shine tires for anybody who buys them. They're just so shiny because they're a smooth, unscratched, un-abused surface that can be plastered with tire shine to make look shinier than glass. EcoWork tires can look the same way to as long as the treads aren't chewed up and chopped up, but a lot of them are after the rule came in place to trim the corner off of the treads for safety purposes. 

The whole team is down at the shop waiting for the delivery man to bring 20 little gifts.

I'm pretty sure Ryan is the first person on the Monster Jam fleet to run electronic gauges. I know all of the King Krunch Race Team trucks, Big Kahuna, and I believe the Ramers run these systems, too.

Thanks for the casting call!

Bring gloves next July! lol

•First year ever going to the Monster Jam World Finals, and our team took home the world freestyle championship. 
•Going on the road with the team for a whole week in the summer was certainly an interesting but fun and work-filled experience
•Meeting so many new people and faces and making more friends
•Learning so much more and getting the chances of a lifetime this year and for years to come with everything I have planned

Can't wait for 2016.

It's a typo. The website is still in the stages of being updated, so give it some time and everything will look good and up-to-date.

With that front shock angle, it's going to soak up every single nose-pick he does. Crazy cool.

That's how it is for many teams.

I don't know if anyone else is making it as well, but I have a little bit of the 2016 version done in Blender, but it's no where near releasable. I just have not had the time to finish it because of all the work I do for the team plus regular work and school work on top of that. I do plan on finishing it because I never want to not finish what I started, but it's going to be a while. I might hand it off to someone else to finish, but I'm still thinking it over. Thanks for understanding.

By the way... shameless plug here.

Be sure to check out the Vaters Motorsports 2016 Season Preparation album on Facebook at the link right ---> here.

They kind of look the same to me from that angle. Of course, it doesn't show too much, but with the blue accumulator and lots of bypass tubes, it looks fairly similar to these:
 

I spy a wild Buddy!

Don't say that...

Screw it, why not.

Are the Total Access Passes up for sale yet?

Well, I guess in the spirit of flaunting pictures of chassis getting powder coated, here's Mike's Safety-Kleen Black Stallion chassis getting sent off to get a fresh coat of metallic blue for the 2016 season:
 

This chassis is currently almost done before getting hauled back to the shop to get reconstructed with some new components. Matt's Safety-Kleen Black Stallion chassis is getting some frame adjustments done for better shock clearance to accommodate the new shock towers that were welded on the frame last year. Overkill Evolution is getting the housings completely torn down along with the engine and is getting a very thorough look-through.
