Mahon near the bottom again? Shame. Buetow near the top? Sweet. Todd at the top? Agreed 100%. If that Hot Wheels pic is the new design, someone's gonna get fired on sight.

The fact that he placed Brianna below Bryce makes me cringe. Surprised he thinks Neil takes it, but then again he's one of many guys who could very easily make it to the Quarterfinals. Does Neil sound interested?

Scott Douglass just posted his Double Down Showdown odds for Thursday, and he says there will be two Dalmatians. https://www.monsterjam.com/en-US/news/scott-douglass-picks-double-down-showdown

That has gotta be the weirdest lineup I ever saw...

For a moment I thought Darren was going to make it into DDS but I guess I was wrong.

WOOT WOOT! Been so long since Randy last competed.

Rooting for Krysten, but I have a feeling either Camden, Jared, or Matt's gonna get it. I managed to get almost all of them. The only ones I didn't get were Matt Cody, Mark List, and Zane Rettew.

Oh boy...is it me or is this a real good sign?

My Predictions: WORLD RACING CHAMPION: Monster Energy - Todd LeDuc - Holy S**T this guy's been on fire! Been blasting everyone in FS1 West and gave an aerial attack to Neil Elliott and Adam Anderson! If he takes the win in Qualifying....TAKE COVER. Semi-Finalists: Dragon - Jon Zimmer - He's burned through multiple racing brackets this year (no pun intended), and if he gets an easy Round 1 match, it's all good for this guy. Son-Uva Digger - Ryan Anderson - If he's been on the top of his game this year and just fended off Coty Saucier, I don't see any problem with him making it a threepeat. El Toro Loco - Marc McDonald - With a Qualifying victory in his belt, it would be really nice to see this guy make it to the Semis, or even the Finals, once again. WORLD FREESTYLE CHAMPION: Son-Uva Digger - Ryan Anderson - With so many newcomers to the field, and Dennis and Tom out of commission, this year he may just finally do it.

My jaw hit the floor when I saw Rosalee Ramer, Bryce Kenny, and Buddy Tompkins in the field. But nonetheless, congrats to the last 9.

My Final 9: 1. FS1 Cleatus - Colt Stephens (If Frank Krmel isn't behind the wheel of the sport's official sponsor truck, this guy better get the call.) 2. Zombie - Bari Musawwir (Pretty obvious) 3. Soldier Fortune - Chad Fortune (Again, pretty obvious) 4. VP Racing Fuels' Mad Scientist - Lee O'Donnell (No comment.) 5. Max-D - Colton Eichelberger (The dude's been killing it all year, so why not?) 6. El Toro Loco - Becky McDonough (If Feld turns this one down again....) 7. Stone Crusher - Steve Sims (He's a veteran, and has one of the highest freestyle averages in the WF. That's why.) 8. Carolina Crusher - Gary Porter (This guy has done amazing in arenas this year, and is very underrated in my opinion.) 9. Monster Mutt Junkyard Dog - Dustin Brown (Whatever happened to this truck? One year and it's gone? This guy deserves to be back for a third year one way or another.)

CONFIRMED: All three champions of the TTS series have officially earned their berths to WF 18;

Only question is....do we have ourselves a fourth?

CONFIRMED: Justin Sipes wins TTS Central. He got so far ahead of Camden that they knew he's not gonna catch up, so they just decided to give Justin his berth this afternoon.

I...can't believe what I just read. In my opinion, this year just won't be the same without either one of them. Not to mention Dennis not being in it for Digger's 35th is extra sad. But I guess I can accept that fact.

You know who's lost his touch more than any other driver? If you guessed Scott Hartsock, you're correct. You may counter at me, but think about it; he was in the VERY FIRST World Championship Race. Now look at him. He's lost his touch so much you could almost say he's as low as Larry Jarzel.

It begins. https://www.monsterjam.com/en-US/news/first-competitors-announced-mjwf-xviii

Another save of the year nominee? Backflip failed because back wheel drive didn't kick in. Marc got his share of consecutives, too.

Aaaaand time for this weekend's Stadium Roundup: FS1 West: The Georgia Dome witnessed it's last shows ever, and both in which were FS1 West events. Neil Elliott and Todd LeDuc triumphed in the Racing brackets, while Adam Anderson and also Todd LeDuc snatched the Freestyle victories. LeDuc became the Series Champion with his victories this weekend. A spectacular weekend to bid a fond farewell to the Dome. Series Champion: Monster Energy - Todd LeDuc FS1 East: Detroit was amazed by their 2nd Monster Jam show this year, and it was with beyond good reason. Everyone went all out to wrap up the FS1 East series, and it would be Linsey Weenk taking the sigh of relief at the end of Freestyle as the Series Champion. Morgan Kane and Colton Eichelberger both grabbed themselves a victory. Series Champion: Lucas Oil Crusader - Linsey Weenk Stadium Tour 3: It was all about Grave DIgger, Dragon, and the VP Racing Fuels' Mad Scientist in El Paso. One of the three would walk out as the Tour Champion, and that someone was none other than Charlie Pauken. Proving why he deserved to win it, Pauken double downed in the first show, but Lee O'Donnell would prevent it from happening a second time this afternoon. Tour Champion: Grave Digger - Charlie Pauken

I'd be lying if I said my reaction to that last sentence wasn't this:

TWO TIMES IN ONE SHOW. I'd be taking notes if I were Meents... Also, Saigon and Scooby tied for 2nd in Freestyle. BOOYAH.

So Disney XD recently posted the first look for their upcoming DuckTales reboot. Just a few hours later, it was (and still is as of the time I'm posting this) on YouTube's Trending at #1. A lot of people have been waiting for this ever since it was first announced nearly a year ago. But what I'm wondering is... ...did we just find a reboot...done RIGHT? If so, I applaud them for putting shame on Cartoon Network.

OK, since you guys almost killed the thread again, I guess I'll bring something up. Tyler Menninga is now the points leader on TTS East. Shall we rejoice?

OI -- EITHER HE THOUGHT OF THAT HIMSELF OR HE JUST NOTICED ME.

May I also mention, the Mad Scientist mascot came out when Lee O'Donnell won Racing in Anaheim. It was the usual match up between him and the GOAT.
