Truk Wurks Monsters Shine In The Spotlight of the Silverdome

(Pontiac, MI) The Truk Wurks Off Road team came into Pontiac looking to put both the Bars Leaks Eliminator and Rislone Defender deep into the racing brackets and bring the fans to their feet with stellar freestyle performances.

Greg and Zach would have a difficult task at hand facing some of the top teams in the country including Hall Brothers Racing, 2Extreme Racing and two time Monster Nationals Racing Champion Tailgator. “We knew how difficult it would be to advance through the brackets in racing right from the start,” said Bars Leaks Eliminator Driver Greg Adams. “There are a lot of past champions and drivers with a lot of experience here, but we’re not going to back down from anyone.”

Unfortunately, Zach Adams and the Rislone Defender would lose a starter on the line of his first race and would not be able to continue until freestyle. “It was a really tough break, we had just put in a new starter right before the show,” said Rislone Defender Driver Zach Adams.

With the Rislone Defender out of the racing bracket for the night, the Bars Leaks Eliminator and Greg Adams were left with the pressure of carrying the Truk Wurks name through the brackets in Pontiac. The Bars Leaks Eliminator would handily defeat Shell Camino and take out 3-time Thunder Nationals Champion Diehl Wilson in Virginia Giant. The first two wins would pit Adams against Doug Neolke in Tail Gator in the semi-finals. Noelke and the Tailgator would prove to be just a bit too much as the Gator edged off Adams in the Bars Leaks Eliminator to advance to the finals.

Freestyle kicked off with Zach Adams in the Rislone Defender pulling one of the highlight moves of the night with a huge slap wheelie across the floor of the Silverdome. “I felt the truck start to bounce back and forth, that’s when I knew I should probably set her down!” said Adams. Greg Adams also put down a stellar run for the thousands of fans in attendance. Adams piloted the Bars Leaks Eliminator to huge air and plenty of momentum.

The Truks Wurks shop is extremely busy this time of year as Greg and Zach gear up for a busy 1st quarter. Be sure to check out the Bars Leaks Eliminator and Rislone Defender at these locations this winter:

Jan 14-15 El Paso, Texas
Jan 21-22 Lake Charles, Louisiana

Countdown to the Silverdome Q&A – Greg Adams

One week from now monster trucks will return to one of the most historically significant venues in the history of the sport as the Pontiac Silverdome hosts the 1st Annual Monster Truck Fall Shootout!! 11 trucks are scheduled to compete in racing and freestyle including Bounty Hunter, Raminator, Tail Gator, Virginia Giant, War Wagon, Big Dawg, Rammunition, Shell Camino, Bar’s Leaks Eliminator, Airborne Ranger and Rislone Defender.

The return of the Silverdome has been one of the biggest and best stories of 2010 and TMB is excited to return for our 10th and final episode of TMB TV Season 3. We’ll cover all the action with three camera angles and two huge photo galleries. With tickets at only $13 at www.SilverdomeTickets.com, this event will surely be one of the best values of the year.

As we countdown the days of this final week leading up to the big event, we’ll interview one of the big personalities and get their thoughts on the Monster Truck Fall Shootout. Check back every day for another quick Q&A with one of the event’s big stars!

11/10/10: Q&A w/Greg Adams | Countdown Status: 3 Days to Go!

TMB: We’re another day closer to this weekend’s big event at the Pontiac Silverdome and that means another great chance to hear from one of the stars of the show in our Countdown to the Silverdome Q&A series. Tonight we speak with one of the most veteran drivers in the lineup for Saturday night, Greg Adams, owner of Truk Wurks Off Road and driver of the Bar’s Leaks Eliminator machine. Greg, you’ve been in the sport for a long time and are yet another driver in this lineup with experience at the Silverdome. Tell us about your past experiences there.

GA: My first experience in Pontiac was probably back around 1992 for SRO with the Krimson Krusher truck. That actually wasn’t long after we first put 66 inch tires on the truck and got our first fiberglass body. We raced there a few times over the years with the last time being in 2003 when we were running the Summit Truck Style body. There’s been some great experiences there over the years, it’s pretty neat to be going back this weekend.

TMB: Like the majority of this weekend’s lineup, this will be your first stadium event in several years. When was the last time you had the chance to do a dome show and how excited are you to have that opportunity again this weekend?

GA: Our last time on the big stadium tour was back in 2007 when we were doing Monster Jam with the Annihilator, I’d say the RCA Dome was the last one we did. For me, I honestly don’t get quite as excited about things as I used to, I still really enjoy the racing but I think I’m at the point where I’m more excited about turning the reigns over to Zach and really turning him loose out there. But you know how it is, I say that but once I get in the truck and the adrenaline starts flowing, something else takes over.

TMB: It looks like your big stadium experience is probably a bit more recent than a lot of the drivers in the lineup. Tell us what you think it will take to make a run at the late rounds of racing and who you think your top competition will be.

GA: All of these guys always run good but I’m not sure there’s any odds on favorite, I really look forward to being competitive. Hall and Noelke will be tough, but the thing about Chicago-style is, the key isn’t always being the fastest, but being consistent is what gives you the chance to win. I’ve always enjoyed running Chicago-style, personally I think its boring to run in a straight line. We’ll see how it goes Saturday, but I do like being the underdog.

TMB: What are you thoughts on freestyle, there’s sure to be some big obstacles out there.

GA: Well, like I said I’m more interested in the racing part of things. I’m more of a finese driver so I try to keep things in my realm – that’s my job and that’s what I do. So I expect you’ll see us be competitive but it may not be as wild as a lot of stadium runs. I think Tail Gator will probably be one to watch in freestyle, Noelke will be tough.

TMB: Well Greg, a big thanks for sitting down with us and offering your thoughts on this weekend’s event, we look forward to seeing what you and Zach have in store for us. For one last question, what do you think of having the chance to run in front of your great sponsors?

GA: That’s the real good thing about this weekend, our sponsor, Bar’s Leaks and Rislone are a Michigan-based company so we are looking forward to running good for them and putting on a good show.

The Monster Truck Fall Shootout is this Saturday, November 13th – 11 of the nation’s top trucks compete in racing and freestyle at the historic Pontiac Silverdome! Advance tickets are only $13, all fees included at www.SilverdomeTickets.com – get yours now!
