This past weekend the legendary Eldora Speedway owned by NASCAR driver Tony Stewart teamed up with Outlaw Monster Trucks for the first ever Monster Trucks at Eldora!! The event featured a stellar lineup of trucks including Lucas Oil Stabilizer, Amsoil Shock Therapy, Predator, Excaliber, Prowler and Ironman competing in wheelie, racing and freestyle competitions.
The wheelie contest would see Jon Zimmer in Amsoil Shock Therapy take the victory based on two great slap wheelies, just edging out new teammate David Brown in Excaliber. Racing would be battled out on a huge Chicago-style course and it was Ohio native Bobby Holman taking the big win in Lucas Oil Stabilizer in the finals over Lenny Kuilder in Prowler.
After blowing a motor in Amsoil Shock Therapy, Jon Zimmer took the wheel of Excaliber for freestyle at the request of teammate David Brown. Zimmer proceeded to lay down an epic, dominating freestyle run to take the big victory. A huge thanks to TMB Super Photographer Paul Harry for a great photo gallery from the event, and to his son Michael for shooting some great video.

Extreme Monster Trucks Australia has unveiled their brand new monster truck, the Freak Show!! This is Australia’s first truck purpose built to perform backflips, rollover and other gimmick acts. The truck has been built by Kreg Christensen and the EMTA crew and will make its debut at the upcoming Cairns Speedway event this weekend in Queensland.
The truck features a body mounted in reverse in a similar style to that of the U.S. truck Backwards Bob and is outfitted with t-shirt launches, 12 multiple pyro cues, a colored smoke canister and flame effects. It also features a domed roof roll cage to help the truck roll back onto its wheels, along with lockers in the front and rear for intense cyclones. The truck’s concept and to be completed paint scheme is targeted towards the ages 5 to 10 market in Australia and plans are to also have a minature version of the truck that leads it out and performs rollovers as well.
The photos above show the completed truck and its new body as it heads out for its debut in Cairns. The paint scheme is not yet finished, as there are plans to add much more color to the design. A photo from testing of the new truck is also included as former Monster Patrol driver in the U.S. David Brown put it through its paces and gave the new ride a big thumbs up.
Kreg Christensen will be attempting to complete Australia’s first ever backflip at the Townsville Showgrounds on July 10th and again the following weekend at the Rockhampton Showgrounds. Clive Featherby will climb behind the wheel for his first attempt at the Lismore Showgrounds on July 24th and then he heads to the U.S. to debut his new machine from Patrick Enterprises in stateside competition.
A big thanks to everyone with Extreme Monster Trucks Australia for the updates and photos, be sure to check them out at www.MonsterTrucksAustralia.com for all the latest news and Monsters Tour of Destruction event information!!
