  1. Last night in Huntsville Team Razin Kane killed it! Trent beat JR to win racing, then JR won donuts, and then Trent just edged out JR for the overall event win!
  2. Well we wrapped up an interesting one here in Knoxville. We had all 4 trucks with us and just me and Kristen crewing. Friday started out with me having to work at the track getting Gator and Ice Cream ready for the shows while Jack and Kristen both had to take Torque and RK to displays, then we had to hurry up and tire up and set up those trucks that night to be ready for our first show. We only had one show on Saturday in the afternoon, and it started out rough when Trent took out the pinion gear in the diff in RK in 2 wheel skills, which takes to long to change during the show so it was done. Then in freestyle Jacks truck broke a fitting for the rear steer which ended his run early, and then ICM and Gator both had good runs but Roy broke a right rear outer axle in his run. So we got that all fixed up and ready for Sunday’s afternoon show. We started out pretty good as Jack and Torque took their first win in the Monster of the year in time trials which was awesome, then in 2 Wheels the solenoid for Jacks rear steer went out so had to change that out during intermission. Then in freestyle Jack had a good run, had a really nice wheelie across the pod and didn’t even hurt the new body, and Trent had probably not only his best run of the year but probably the best run I’ve ever seen of his in an arena, lots of good air and momentum and kept the truck on the edge with crazy wheelies and air without breaking anything or rolling it (although we think the rear steer pump is getting weak), then ICM goes out and 2nd hit he tripped up and hit the pod and did a stoppie and tried to moonwalk but missed reverse then missed 1st so Rollover Roy struck again and put ICM on its lid, and finally JR goes out in Gator and cut a decent sized hole in the side wall of one of his tires. Then load out was a huge cluster, we weren’t allowed to drive trucks across the street to the trailers until we washed tires because the city didn’t want dirt on The streets which luckily the arena washed them for us but was also pointless because A. They blew the mud from the tires right back on the trucks, B. They didn’t wash the bottom side of the tires and C. We drove right back through the mud puddles as we were leaving. So we had to wait on them to wash the tires, then it just took us forever to load up all our trucks and tires because there was just a lot of crap to load up and 2 trailers and we had to bring Gator over way later cuz they washed it last and it didn’t have air in the tire so we had to keep airing it back up and then the battery died on us. But all in all wasn’t a bad weekend, got some tire swapping to do, body work, and finally putting our motor in RK and taking out the MJ motor. Once again we got all 4 of our trucks this weekend in Huntsville,Alabama along with Tyler in Digger, Linsey in Scooby, Matt Pagliarulo in Jester and Scott Hartsock in Gunslinger. Should be a fun 4 show weekend!
  3. For anyone in the Knoxville area, tomorrow Kristen will be on dispay with Razin Kane at America’s Best on Clinton Highway (I think thats the roads name, Clinton something) from 3-6, and Jack will be on display with the all new FTI Torque body at Chic Fil A on Clinton Highway (same road as America’s Best) from 4-8. Come out and see the trucks and say hi to them, and come check us out this weekend, we have all 4 of our trucks running this weekend in Knoxville!
  4. So I just realized I haven’t done this in awhile. A few weekends ago we took the weekend off to go out to the World Finals to watch for fun, then we wrapped up getting Xtermigator, Ice Cream Man and Razin Kane ready for our show in Green Cove Springs. It was an alright show, I’m really proud of Kristen tho she did an awesome job for her first time driving! The truck had a few issues but she battled it and did awesome driving. She certainly wasn’t afraid of it! Before the show we had to put an orbital o ring in RK and after the show we had to put one in Gator, and ICM had a shock rip apart and fall off for whatever reason lol. So we got that patched up, as well as we had to put an old Gator body on Jacks truck for this weekend as the Torque body wasn’t ready in time. So Gator 1 and ICM went on their way to Syracuse while our team of RK and Gator 2 headed to Little Rock where we had some pretty good shows. Friday night we started off good with Jack making it to the finals in racing, and then in 2 wheel skills he went a little hard trying a Paxton popper and put the Gator on its lid lol which isn’t a huge deal cuz that body is supposed to be retired lol and then Trent won 2 wheel skills. They both had good runs in freestyle, Jack knowing he had a junk body ran harder than he has all year which was awesome. On Saturday before the show we had to patch the Gators mouth back together and reset his shocks because they didn’t take air right before Friday so they weren’t exactly right for the show, and we had to throw another orbital oring in RK. Which btw the orbital is what the steering wheel connects to on monsters, basically fluid goes through it and tells the tires which way to turn so if you blow out an oring you lose all pressure and have no front steering. And then Saturday night went well, Jack made it back to the finals again and lost and then ripped the hood off in Freestyle which was awesome, the fans really got behind the Gator this weekend with the Gator Chomp! And then Trent rolled RK in freestyle so she’s in pretty rough. So this week we have to patch up the RK body, switch our motor back into RK(right now it has a Feld motor in it) and then mount the Torque body on Jacks truck. Next weekend we’re in Knoxville Tennessee with all 4 trucks! JR McNeal in the Amalie Oil Xtermigator (#GatorChomp), Roy Pridgeon in Ice Cream Man, Jack Brown in FTI Torque, and Trent Montgomery in Razin Kane! Razin Kane and Ice Cream Man have displays on Friday, Kristen will probably be at the RK display and it’ll be either me or Jack at the ICM display because I don’t think anyone else but us 3 will be in Knoxville by then lol but I could be wrong. But I know it’s just me and Kristen for all 4 trucks this weekend lol. If you’re in the area come check us out, on top of our 4 well also have Tyler Menninga in Digger, Linsey Read in Scooby, Tom Herzog in Midnight Rider, and Cole Venard in Black Pearl! Also a random side note, it was really cool to be up against USA1 this weekend 😎
  5. That was an attempt at a Paxton popper that the Gator hood paid for on that one lol but I’m glad you enjoyed the show and our trucks! We certainly did our best to burn it down tonight
  6. We got er dialed in and ready to go for tonight!
  7. Another correction lol sounds like we are running an Xtermigator body on Jacks truck in Little Rock
  8. It actually will still be Rottweiler. Our body isn’t ready yet so we’re not gonna have time to put it on this week before the show
  9. So some new info from Team Razin Kane. My girlfriend Kristen Hope will be the new Razin Kane driver starting this Friday in Green Cove Springs, FL and if she is approved will be driving the truck in MJ next month. Also Jacks truck will be sponsored by FTI and will be called Torque, will be debuting next weekend in Little Rock, AR. I think in May the truck will be changed to Big Bad Wolf, sponsored by Wolfs Head which is Amalies sister company, and Kristen will take over the Wolf and Jack will move into RK is the current plan.
  10. Dunno if you’re making all the Rampage trucks but if you are then I know that Ralph is on Myrandas Scooby chassis
  11. If you look at the maxd (of course can’t see the roof from here so I may be wrong) it only has the name logos and pretty much everything else paintwise just isn’t on there I don’t think
  12. No Adam qualified 21st which is the first time someone Under the 8 position has won racing
  13. Bounty hunter body was for display only
  14. Qualifying was never public this year to begin with.. double down gets the showdown but that’s on Friday and all qualifying is being done today now because of the rain. So it’s not like it’s really affecting anyone except the drivers and really it’s smart that way qualifying times actually match the bracket not so Racing night everyone will he way faster but might get screwed on a pairing cuz of the rain during qualifying so they messed up or something like that
  15. That wouldn’t surprise me, it’s what he did last year. I just think it’s too plain- and way to early in the week, he hasn’t even done the Sams Town display yet- to be the WF scheme I think. I do love the Nomad body and hope it’s the body with an awesome scheme. But even if it is that body it’s pretty sweet. Plus Axe is cool and the only other indie truck for team scream they could display with their body so why not display it lol. Although I will say I kinda figured John would throw in Bad Company like Diesel Dave did a few years ago when he drove for Koehler, but either way it’ll be cool
  16. Not sold on that being the WF Body... I like the way it looks, but we have never seen it out this early so personally thinking that it’s not the WF body for Avenger
  17. For April it’s supposed to be an FTI themed truck (our Transmission sponsor) and after that it’s actually supposed to be switching to Kristen’s truck as the Big Bad Wolf Wolfs Head oil truck (another Amalie company) and Jack is going to move over to RK or ICM. Not sure the exact plan but that’s the general idea for right now
  18. Just realized I never did this lol. Last week was a long time coming in Grand Rapids Michigan. 5 shows in 3 days, rounding out our stretch of 11 shows in 10 days (which is a MJ record). Friday night if I remember right we didn’t have any issues, Saturday we did our usual preventive maintenance and basically I don’t remember when anything happened but we broke 2 axles and changed an orbital twice and had to fix an axle that unsplined once so it was another long weekend. A long 10 weeks and a long first quarter. It was a lot of work, but we had a blast and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. We may not have made World Finals but that’s okay next year it’ll be cool to be apart of the first World Finals that travels around. Me Kristen and Rudy will all be at the World Finals tho as fans. This past week we’ve been back at our shop in Florida which has been kinda hectic as we’ve been trying to get the shop organized and cleaned up and we’ve also been moving into an apartment this week which is exciting. And this weekend we’re hanging out at the Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals as well which is pretty sweet. We also have some big news.. starting March 30th in Green Cove Springs FL Kristen will be driving Razin Kane! Hopefully in that show she can get approved for Monster Jam and if she does she’ll be doing all of our April Monster Jam shows as well. Pretty exciting stuff!
  19. I’ll be there, 3rd year straight! Just wish our team was competing lol
  20. Pablo hasn’t won the series yet so there’s no way that’s real. The series still has to be decided tonight
  21. If Pablo wins Cam is out, if Cam wins Pablo is out. Whoever wins gets the spot no matter what
  22. The Wrecking Crew chassis. The old Avenger that got changed into Wrecking Crew after last years WF and has been John Gordon’s Scooby Doo for first quarter this year
