Indy and Hampton Updates
All of our reporters have checked in and it was an exciting day in monster truck racing and freestyle. Coverage from Hampton is now available in our Coverage section thanks to Dustin Hart and Trevor Andrews, and some photos will be on the way tomorrow!
Josh Rhodes checked in from Indianapolis as well, and we have information on that as well. Doug Noelke’s Big Dawg was able to win on the Minneapolis style head-to-head racing course over Dan Runte (Bigfoot) in the finals.
Jim Koehler took the freestyle win with a perfect 30 from the judges after a huge launch on a large dirt pile pogoed the truck, then sent it onto two wheels, where he was able to save it and continue, eventually tearing the four link bars and a wheel off of the truck, named “Wrecking Crew” for the event.
Raminator had a couple of standing start power wheelies and plenty of air over the dirt pile as well, in addition to a strong run and several notable sky wheelies from Andy Hoffman’s Nitemare.
Photos and more information will be online as soon as possible; we thank Josh, Trevor, and Dustin for their help!
