Your Youtube channels are the best collection of Monster Truck themes anywhere. Welcome.

Thanks DanDon for all the info.

BTW, does Tony Farrel still do fill-ins for Feld? I would say probably no, but just checkin.

Not everyone has seen the thread, in fact he wasn't even a member of the site when the announcement thread was made. If someone is new you should help them out nicely instead of just making a "cold" reply. It's like beating a dog for spilling water on the floor, how the hell were they supposed to know?

V5 was cancelled a while back, the creators have been releasing the parts from it gradually to allow others to create better content. The stuff being made now is arguably better quality any way. More info about that here: http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/topic/5591-a-note-concerning-v5/

 Thanks, but I've been using Sim-Monsters for some time now. I've read about them cancelling it. Just cause I'm a new member, doesn't mean I'm new to the site. I didn't get an account earlier cause I just didn't get around to it. Thanks for the info,though 

Well back to Instigator. It's been one of my favs since Paul took over from Lionel. Hopefully he'll be in Pittsburgh next year, maybe even with Backdraft...

Really? You Are Asking That? Not Really That Funny

I'm well aware that there isn't a V5. I'm just making a comment on the "Be Patient" comment.

Geremie Dishman - retired 

Matt Brokaw - Still drives here and there 

Chris Ryan, Chris Lagana - Fired from SIR, went on their merry ways; Lagana is building a mega truck 

Chris Baker - retired 

TG Short - retired

Joey Sylvester - taking a break, but plans on returning for 2015 first quarter 

Amber Walker - retired from driving, but still goes to shows

Joe Miller - retired 

 Actually, Chris Lagana is also like Nathan Weenk, he's called in to do fill-ins, like in Tampa 2013 when he drove Monster Mutt Rottweiler for Rod Schmidt while Rod drove Grave Digger for Dennis, who wasn't able to be there

He will be missed, no doubt. Such a shame that some monster truck lovers will grow up and never know who Gary Lee was. 

I liked the Atlanta 2003 track, but my favorite tracks are 2008-2010 tracks. Syracuse 2014 had a little bit of variation.

Alright, let's make this list:

The Dirt Track at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Charlotte NC (Circle K Monster Bash):

2007

Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland OH (Monster Jam):

2010

2013

2014

Console Energy Center, Pittsburgh PA (Monster Jam)

2012

2013 (Didn't go to the show, just went to some truck displays and the I Love Zombie Val-Intestines Day Party)

2014 (Probably one of the best shows I've been to-good field of trucks and great freestyle/wheelie competition)

Carrier Dome, Syracuse NY (Monster Jam)

2014 

Ozark Empire Fairgrounds, Springfield MO (4-Wheel Jamboree)

2014 (Another great show, had a good freestyle competition)

Eldora Speedway, New Weston OH (Monster Jam)

2014 (One of the best shows. When we got to the Pit Party, we found the Grave Digger line and found out under 20 people were in it, so we got in it and we didn't have to wait as long as some other people, and the freestyle was great and the racing was always close)

Planning to go to in 2014:

Canfield Fairgrounds , Canfield OH (Monster Nationals)

Never been to Toronto, but once I get a passport I might go (I don't live too far away, I live a little south of Michigan). We might also head up to Detroit in 2015. We tried to go this year, but was busy with a tournament that day. 

I don't think they are. I read about AAP on Wikipedia (one of favorite websites, and yes, I know that what's on there may not be true),and I read a small section that said AAP is not looking to renew their sponsorship with Monster Jam. However, I did like the truck displays they did, and I would like to see a little more that just Fox Sports 1 and BKT. I would also like to see Hurculiner, Built Ford Tough, and K&K come back. Oh well. I'm being irrelevant now. 

I have three favorites:

Carrier Dome (Syracuse,NY)-Love how the city is a "college town", and how the stadium is almost built around their team. Of course, the seats are benches instead of chairs, and almost the entire stadium is built out of concrete, built it tells you how everyone loves their team. It's like how the fans of the Cleveland Browns love their team although all they do is lose.

Console Energy Center (Pittsburgh, PA)-The facility is very clean and nice for being in a city that lost most of it's steel business 100 years ago. Large windows looking out into the streets of Pittsburgh, clean facility,neat screens that show off Hall-of-Famers, and friendly staff all tell you that this stadium is relatively new. Plus, the chairs are comfortable. Looks a  lot better than the arena that Pittsburgh had before.

Eldora Speedway (New Weston, OH)-Great place for Monster Jam. Has long stretches for the trucks to roam around on, no parking fees, and easy access between the speedway and parking places (which is REALLY nice on a hot day, where you can just leave the speedway, hang out in your car for half an hour, and put the AC on full blast). Plus, instead of giving you separate tickets for the Party in the Pits and the show, they give you combo tickets. Also, the food/ drinks are cheap. Only 1 dollar for some coke!  

I am. BTW, when will v5 come out? LOL

I have a few old ones (the metal body, small tires)- 2002 Bounty Hunter, 2004 Batman (both of those are still in the original box), an early 2000 grave digger, and an early 2000 Super Trucker. Just wondering, who has the Max-D 10th Anniversary Exclusive Wal-Mart Mail-In? I got it for 10 bucks on amazon!

 Dude love your idea! I have 130 somethin trucks, and having one shelf showcase everything grave digger is an awesome idea!

And where do I find THOSE???!!!

EDIT

I mean to say that those are pretty awesome!

Name: Instigator
Body: Ford Superduty?
Chassis: PEI? Sorry, don't know my chassis very well
Paint (images of color/graphics): 
Other details: Orange rims that were ran in Atlanta 2014 are not preferred, I couldn't find a pic of the tailgate, but it says Instigator in the same font that's used on the side,it just doesn't curve

Stuff still goes on on my site? LOL I abandoned that deal a loooooong time ago.

Ya, there's still stuff on it. I don't know if anyone is posting downloads or anything, but it's the only place I could find beua's 4x4 sounds. I guess people still use it because there's a 2013 P.O.D. Iron Man on there (the one Johnny3Tears uploaded to Sim-Monsters)

Whats DM?

And here's some more pics:

Nathan Weenk still drives, but he is more like a fill-in driver, like Chad Tingler. His last show was back in Mexico of 2013.

Are you sure? I know that Linsey competed in Monterry and Mexico City.

Didn't Sky Hartley drive Hollywood Hogan?

I think he did...man I missed a lot!

I thought Tony Farrel also drove Wild Thing

He did;I forget to add that. Thanks!
