FINAL NOTES

Especially with the all star challenge going on if your wondering why I’m posting last weeks results it is because I go one week behind to avoid spoilers to see if I can find footage first to watch it for myself, I also post about full races I find on YouTube, the all star challenge has full coverage on YouTube and I will give details in another post and results will come up next week, congratulations to all of our winners.

Why in the hell would you want a 2 wheel drive monster truck? There is no benefits to it. Prove me wrong.

The bigger auto racing subreddits have these, figured I'd start one.

Dear God, we've got a bit of a mess on our hands. Multiple years of hype starting with the Fire/Ice theme slowly being rolled out among the fleet of trucks, and the end result is an uninspired World Finals knock-off taking place in front of almost nobody.

The lone positive appears to be the concept of MJ streaming coverage of the event for about $29 CDN. I had zero issues with the feed and was absolutely stoked I could watch Monster Trucks live in pro-shot quality. Regardless of where they were racing, I'd 100% pay for this again.

That being said, let's go over the negatives of the event.

1. Awful Crowd. Shots from Friday are pretty embarrassing. There is almost nobody in the stands, and Saturday was an improvement but still not much better. Someone dropped the ball here big time, whether it be promotion of the event, ticket prices being too high, or the fact that Monster Jam already ran at Sam Boyd earlier in the spring and once was enough for the locals.
2. Fire/Ice Concept. What did this actually add to the event? Almost everyone is an employee of Feld. They are all paid entertainers on a fixed fee. It doesn't actually matter what team wins at the end of the weekend, unlike NASCAR's All-Star race where there is an advertised million dollar prize to the winner.
3. Lack of Fire/Ice trucks. You'd think they'd go through the effort of doing special liveries for everybody, but they didn't. A missed opportunity here.
4. Chicago Style Racing. The asymmetrical layout was strange and did not work. Fans could not see the trucks for half of the lap, and the start/finish line was a flat surface instead of a jump which kind of made things anti-climactic. Races were often lopsided and it exposed who among the fleet of MJ drivers didn't land the job on merit.
5. Best Trick Competition was boring. As someone else already mentioned, almost nobody was able to complete what they intended to perform, and the competition was mostly trucks awkwardly crawling around the arena floor at idle speeds.
6. Fan Judging Almost Broke the Event. Best Trick and Freestyle were both judged using the complimentary app/website that lets fans drag a slider to rate each driver's run. Brianna Mahon won 'best trick' by crashing her truck, which goes against the entire purpose of the event. Cynthia Gauthier led freestyle for almost 90% of the event after fans scored her an 8.7/10, for a run that lasted precisely one jump and resulted in her destroying the truck. The rest of the event featured interviews with numerous drivers, as well as Dennis Anderson, pleading with the fans to score runs "properly." Had Ryan and Adam Anderson wrecked earlier in their respective runs, Cynthia Gauthier would be your All-Star Freestyle champion.

YouTube, hand held l, whatever. I can't find one.
