Carl Van Horn and Alex Blackwell win in Minny!

 

It was an exciting night inside the Metrodome as a huge line up of 16 trucks rolled into Minneapolis for the first time in 2008. The course saw the return of the new cyclone racing style. In racing the finals came down to Carl Van Horn in T-Maxx taking on Daron Basl in El Matador with Van Horn taking the win. Freestyle saw Devastator pick up the early lead with a 24 before a great run by Daron Basl would put him in first with a 28 which held until Alex Blackwell hit the floor in Captain’s Curse who picked up the freestyle win. We’ll have photos from the event along with a gallery from last weekend’s event in Anaheim, California soon so stick with us.

O’Donnell and Meents Win in Atlanta!

Atlanta Monster JamThe 2008 Atlanta Monster Jam is officially in the books. Racing saw a surprise winner, with the fill-in Lee O’Donnell behind the wheel of Blue Thunder. O’Donnell snuck into the semi-finals after getting beat by Randy Brown in the second round. Battery problems on Maximum Destruction put O’Donnell in the finals, where he took out Allen Pezo in Predator after Pezo spun out. Many spectacular moments from all the trucks, including several amazing saves, highlighted freestyle, but in the end it was all Tom Meents and Maximum Destruction. Meents put on a usual Max D run, with huge air and saves. Randy Brown had a rough night in Grave Digger; after getting taken out in the semis, his freestyle was cut short by an early roll. Thanks to Robby Haught for the info.
