NtheDiggerfan Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 This 4 truck racing format was the stupidest thing to come out of the brains of Feld Entertainment. Can we just have 1 on 1 racing? I know that it was one night only but damn, these people paid their hard earned money to be entertained, and all that did was confuse them, including me. Incredibly stupid. Also, there is wall protection, and rows of seats are covered. Let Ryan run into the wall protection to save it... It's just a shipping container.

They've got floor level seats/tables behind those containers, they probably didn't want it to get pushed into them and cause any damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NtheDiggerfan Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Was that the glowing rear driveshaft that flew out of GD? I saw Adam post something on Instagram about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackMProductions Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Another issue I noticed with the 4 truck racing is how when Brodozer spun out, Hurricane Force wasn't able to complete his race properly, to no fault of his own. I don't think that's fair to the other driver who isn't able to finish their race because of what happened to a completely different truck. Here's a clip of what I'm talking about.

I only saw the isolated clip on Instagram of the incident and thought that clip was it. That being said, Brodozer could have still done the same thing in any other spot before Hurricane completed his run, like in one of the turns where he's rolled before. Even if the race was already over for Hurricane, them almost colliding is still not okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NtheDiggerfan Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I can understand Feld's necessity to innovate. I completely do. It's just that i wish there was a little more thought into these "innovations". BTW, what's going on with Feld and BKT's contract? Are they finally gone? BIG PHAT EDIT... Do any of y'all know the coupon code that they're giving for tickets at Great Clips? My nearest one is 130 miles away lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract, for which no value was disclosed, allows BKT to have an on-site presence at more than 350 Monster Jam events produced annually in more than 100 cities in North America, as well as the growing international Monster Jam tour." Which means by 2019 the contract either had to be extended or a new one made. They might go out quietly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Spin Masters have BKTs on the diecasts, and next years truck renderings have them too, I think it’s safe that you’ll still get to hear Ryan LaCosse talk about how every truck recovers or doesn’t get back onto all 4 BKT tires.
