USA-1 is still my favorite monster truck. Rod Litzau is one of the greatest drivers of all time.

Hell. Yes.

Here’s an easy way to figure that out. Do they have ties to Trump? They’re winning.

Only if they went full Brit and put LUCAS labels over all the Denso parts.

I recommend Diggers Dungeon too. It’s an awesome compound, and one of the Andersons are usually kicking around there at any given time. Dennis runs the store, Ryan does a ride truck, and Krysten runs the diner. When they’re there, of course.

I’m a bit of a fanatic. Been watching since the TNT days.

It’s a deal Everett Jasmer struck with Roger Gauger. Roger bought the rights to USA-1, so he built and drives the new truck. Everett does small displays and car crushes when he’s not tagging along with Roger.

Not sure if they still do, but Team Scream (Avenger, Brutus, Wrecking Crew, Rage, Spike, and Axe) had a sponsorship with General Tire a few years back, and they’re one of, if not Monster Jam’s top indy team.

That’s kinda what I meant. The independents that don’t want to run/can’t afford BKT tires are still allowed to run, but just once or twice a year.

Dennis is building another King Sling, so I’m not so sure on that one, although, with Feld’s ham-fisted tactics (Creating Blue Thunder, their own blue factory sponsored Ford truck, never mentioning Bigfoot when they talk about the history of monster trucks, forcing everyone to run BKT tires or they’re not given…

I mean, MAYBE the underlying frames are the same. That’s about it though.

There’s still independents that run with Monster Jam that don’t use BKT tires. They’re not given any “points” at the shows, and don’t get asked to compete at their World Finals events, but they still compete at smaller venues.

USA-1 has been back for a bit now. They even ran with Feld at Monster Jam shows a few times too.

Almost literally how Grave Digger kept going in the early days.

You never know. USA-1 ran with Feld a few times, and if you know that truck’s history, that was more unexpected than Guns N‘ Roses reuniting.

I know this is Feld vs Mattel, but Bigfoot is the original monster truck. If anyone has the right to cry copycat, it’s Bigfoot. Besides, they already had a Hot Wheels line in the early 90’s.

Reasons why I only play Forza online when it’s a ghost race.

Having replaced a clutch in a Boxster(I know, totally different animal, but bear with me) I thought looking at it that it was going to be a nightmare. I had the whole job done in 2 hours, and that was with taking a break for lunch. Porsche(sometimes) packages their stuff in a smart way. Maybe they did with this too.

The only thing I don’t like about it is if you squint, it kinda looks like a stretched, curvaceous GT86. That in and of itself isn’t upsetting, the fact that this is a Supra, and the 86 isn’t called Celica upsets me.

Bone stock LS1 with JBA shorty headers and a Diablosport tune with some tweaks to it. I change its oil with synthetic every 3k and haven’t had anything major wrong with it. Only engine issues so far were a faulty throttle position sensor and a oil pressure sensor that crapped out.
