Monster Trucks Behind the Scenes

    For John & his team, they decided to change the gear ratio on the truck, to make the truck run & handle better on the Bloomsburg track.

    While John's crew fix the truck, John & the other drivers, except Kirk Dabney sign autographs for the spectators.

    Fixing the sway bars
    With the teams fixing their trucks to the best of their abilities, it wasn't long before it was time to get the trucks back into the infield for the evenings racing.

    Kirk Dabney didn't stop all afternoon working on the overkill truck, & managed to get it fixed for the evenings racing. However it looked slightly different to the way it did earlier on in the day.

    For the evening racing, the trucks also did some freestyle racing.

    During freestyle John had problems, when his throttle stuck, & he also managed to break his front sway bars.

    With the racing over it was time to move the trucks back to their trailers. For some teams with only minor damage to their trucks, they soon left the fairgrounds to go into the center of Bloomsburg, to see the hundreds of pickup trucks cruising around the main streets of the town. After getting cleaned up, we eventully headed into town & had a meal at the same place as the previous night. That night I got to eat with Andy Hoffman (Nitemare), Mike Vaters (Black Stallion), John Seasock, plus other crew members & Special Events officals. Other Monster Truck drivers where also in the restaurant/bar that evening. For me I'd been in the sun to much & very much looked forward to my bed that night.
