Updates from Wildwood, NJ

-Steven Thompson will be driving Black Stallion this weekend since Michael Vaters' mother passed away earlier today.

-The track still has a lot of water on it, but it's expected to be bone dry come tomorrow night at 7:00pm.

-It will be S-course racing, but the turns are tighter than a nun, so there won't be any fast drifting this year in racing.

-All monster trucks will be on display tomorrow morning at select hotels/motels and will parade down Ocean Avenue a few hours before show time tomorrow night (7:00pm).

 

I just read the news about Mike's mom, a sad thing to hear indeed. Hopefully Steven will drive the wheels off of Black Stallion in her honor (I know he is definitely capable of it).

 

I'm leaving tomorrow at 1:30pm right after i'm done automotive school. I'll be arriving in Wildwood, NJ hopefully at about 4:30pm.

 

Is there a big sand hill on the track where we might see a repeat of Jim Koehler's launch from 2011?

There is a sand hill, but it's literally just a hill. About the same height as ThunderMoto's finishing plateau, but there's no flat top. It's up, and then sloped down. No middle part.

Updates from Wildwood, NJ

-Steven Thompson in Black Stallion was the fastest qualifier last night at the qualifying show

-Summit Racing Bigfoot #18 blew an input shaft right off the line

-Equalizer was having some engine issues (might be running a bit lean, not too sure)

-The water really affected the first turn in the S-course since everyone (including the tough trucks) were forced to drive through it to make a legal pass 

-The second jump on the first straight-away on the S-course has insane angle, and is pitching the monster trucks and tough trucks very high in the air

(Original size on photography thread soon)

 

0 Rollovers, they did 2 trucks at the time for wheelies. El Diablo won that.

Only 8 trucks ran racing. Winner was Neil and Max D winning over Legend

"Obstacle Course" well know as Maniac Challenge was taken by Lindsey and Zombie

Freestyle was ok i guess, Pablo and Digga won that.

 

Took video too, so will see when i upload that.

 

By the way Lindsey was running his new chassis on Zombie

Frank was running Cleatus chas on Captain America

I think Wolverine was using the one Pablo used on Vegas...

MN was in Damon's chas

 

Any questions...? Fine ask them if i don't answer is because i don't know or i don't care or because you are someone i hate a lot
