Sergeant Politeness Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Osaka, Japan will be the second Chicago style track this year after Fargo. Honestly I expected the venue to be like a stadium but it looks like a more high tech version of the fairgrounds in Salinas. Also it's right on the harbor. Talk about a show with a view Also Coty will be running the SUV body on Monster Energy (and why do they use the green rim black wheels for only foreign shows? Legit question. They look sweet but for some inexplicable reason they're never used stateside) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edy Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Looks like it's a special facility quoting a MonsterJam.com article: "Crews have been building a special facility at Maishima Special Stage to welcome Japanese fans to the event" And it also looks like this will be a "Team" competition. http://www.monsterjam.com/news/monster-jam-ready-its-osaka-debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Politeness Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Okay so Madusa was cut likely due to her still being injured, but what happened with Pirate's Curse? Because if it's not there now I doubt it'll be at the show in the Philippines Speaking of which that's on the same weekend as Nashville, and both Bari and Scott are scheduled for Nashville so I imagine there will be different drivers for those shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't like separating rims from chassis so I just slapped those green bead locks on in Vegas before it shipped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dough Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Probably a bit early, but here's some interesting stuff for 2017: The 2017 AMA Supercross schedule came out today, (AMA Supercross being owned by Feld Motor Sports) and they have some new stops on their tour: US Bank Stadium, CenturyLink Field, and Rice-Eccles Stadium (Utah Utes football stadium) are all new locations. Here's last year's: Also, The Dome at America's Center is just the new name for the Edward Jones Done, as they no longer have the naming rights. I'm not entirely sure how the business behind it works, but I'm assuming if Feld worked out a deal to run Supercross in those stadiums, then they'd also have one for monster trucks. However, seeing how they didn't have a show at Daytona Speedway this year (at least not to my knowledge), it isn't guaranteed that we'll be seeing shows there. But we'll see!
