MENIFEE, CA – Last week our neighbors really had the chance to make up their minds if they like us or not. We had four semi’s and eight monster trucks all camped out at our place for a week. With all of the west coast events going on we have always opened our shop to those teams needing a place to fix their trucks or whatever else we could help them with. The trucks on hand were Grave Digger, TMNT, Patriot, Tropical Thunder, Backwards Bob, Blue Thunder and of coarse our two. The week was very busy with everyone working hard to get the vehicles in tip top shape for the following weekend. We spent one evening with our monster truck family having a toasty fire and pizza and of course my home made cookies. Aaron Basl also conquered the skills on how to ride a rip stick (2 wheeled skate board) while eating cookies. We had a good time and managed to accomplish all that need to be done. On Thursday two teams head for a race in Phoenix, AZ and Patriot headed for Anaheim’s 2nd race.
On Friday the 23rd of January we had a Monster Jam display for Wolverine Boots in Anaheim. Saturday morning and the beginning of the afternoon Anaheim had rain. It let for the pit party but unfortunately there was not enough sun to dry out the track. The muddy course was hard to race in. Our night was called short in racing in a close race against the Air force Afterburner. Shock Therapy and Donkey Kong tied for first and Air force was second place. Freestyle was another solid run, where Rick tied third with Taz.
Rick has always been more of a racer than freestyler but he said he is starting to like freestyle a little more each time. By the way our neighbor said we can stick around as long as they can sneak a peek at the trucks when they are here.
