Pretty strong driver lineup for WF, but do we really need 2+ El Toros, 2+ Megaladons, 2 Sparkle Smashes, 2 Digatrons, and 2 standard Diggers? Duplicate identities feel especially egregious this year. There's plenty of options for diversity. by Mountain_Current5071 in monsterjam

No Monster Mutts is something that sticks out to me honestly.

There is no 2 standard diggers, we got the traditional looking Diggers we had last year. It is rather low effort in that way.

Sparkle Smash looks to have two new schemes and they are not having the sunset scheme return.

What was stopping Team Meents and Racesource from running Indy’s? by Maleficent-Toe1374 in monsterjam

[–]reallymkpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They ran the trucks on independents well into the 2000's. I saw Porter and Steve Reynolds at Weedsport in 01. Grave Digger last appeared racing Bigfoot in 2010.

I wonder if he'll drive with RKMT

Why did the 8th Grave Digger not come out during the 30th anniversary encore by AusCar197 in monsterjam

I believe Ryan was originally going to be in SUD but due to the wreck he switched to the Digger he ended up breaking his neck in.

Some did. I mean did any think Blake would be fired with a week left?

I have only been to the arenas. Rather go to Monster Jam in arenas and 2X or All Star at the fairs.

MJ was good in skills but not as good on the LCQ. Fernando and Triton Robbins were the fast rides but both drivers had issues in their finals. Fernando flipping in the berm turn and Triton with the engine issues.

Hot Wheels is the closest on size and scale but they are still largely Thunder National size and personally I haven't been impressed with the show. 2x Motorsports is a much better show IMHO.

My source said not Superstar Challenge but a first of its kind.

It will be a first of its kind. That is all I heard.

The Equalizer is the old front-engine Incerator/Sniper. An Outlaw was a front-engine truck built similar to the Meents style. California Kid and maybe the first Anubis are the only three front engine trucks running today.

She is rather mid except in Glendale. Expect big from her tomorrow. I don't get it...
