Wilkes-Barre MJ lineup??

[JasonMiller]

I just figured I would check if anyone knows the complete lineup for the Wilkes-Barre show. Alex told me that he and Rod will be there, plus I know Andy will be there with Eradicator. If he has Backdraft there as well that only leaves 2 open spots. Hopefully the last two will be some strong indys.

so far:
Digger-Rod
Curse-Alex
Eradicator-Andy
???Backdraft-John

[JasonMiller]

A buddy of mine told me that they're running radio commercials
for the show, but I haven't heard one yet. He knows nothing
about monsters and only remembered Grave Digger, but said they
mentioned a few others. It was either 97.9 or 98.5 if you're in
the area.

[JasonMiller]

I just heard the commercial and it listed:

The Broker
Eradicator
Safe Auto MINIMIZER :D
Grave Digger

so now the question is will they be sending 4 LN trucks so that
Marc will be driving SA, or will they rebody CC into SA for Alex??
It would be sweet if they sent Superman/SA and Digger/CC plus
Eradicator and The Broker. Awesome lineup.

[andyman]

would it be worth going there if i am going to vegas 2 weeks after that. Also, do you think there will be an fmx ramp the monsters can jump off?

[JasonMiller]

I'd assume there would be a FMX hill as that seems to be the typical setup there, but maybe if Beerman or one of the other techs swings by they'd know for sure. I say if you're close why not go.:cool:

[JasonMiller]

any new updates? Beerman? anyone?

as far as i can tell its:

Digger-Rod
Curse-Alex
Safe Auto-Marc
The Broker-Lou
Eradicator-Andy
6.?????

Superman fits as the SA teammate, but it would be weird to have
4 LN trucks and only two indys. maybe they'll post it soon.:rolleyes:

[monstermaniac]

Superman travels w/ Safe Auto...so maybe him???

[BlackStallionRules79]

And Backdraft tours with Eradicator. It would prolly be Backdraft considering that is the final show before the WF.

[Beerman1]

at this point I have no idea what the 6th truck will be, or even IF there is a
6th. When I hear something I'll let you guys know

[JasonMiller]

thank you sir...see you there.

[adam tereska]

I might be there if we have our equiptment is ready to go. If they will let us "come in to play" we will be running an R/C monster Madness Machine Jr. (4 feet tall) and our Transformer Wicked Evolution Jr. (6 1/2 feet tall) and hopefully display our full size 3-D Wicked Evolution show van several people have seen our web site, www.wicked-evolution.com (Twite, stop drooling again!!!!! lol). I'll get the Youtube site for the transformer.

[JasonMiller]

Just bumping this thread back up. Anything new?

[RKM]

Judging from the commercials I've seen Safe Auto should be there, as well as Backdraft. :)

[JasonMiller]

I've not seen a TV commercial yet, but adding that and the radio commercial together the field may be:

The Broker-Lou
Backdraft-John
Eradicator-Andy
Safe Auto-Marc
Captain's Curse-Alex
Digger-Rod

My wife is thrilled, she's got a major crush on Marc McDonald.:rolleyes:

[BrianStell]

Hey there, as for Wilkes-Barre, it's on dirt, right?

Besides that, what's the formant? Straight line from what I can remember from pics in the past, but what else?

FMX?

Quads?

Tuff Trucks?

Just a car-van-car for Freestyle?


Just wondering - I'll be there with some friends for the Sunday event, and looking forward to it. I haven't seen Andy in a LONG time...probably about 4 years. Never seen Schmidt, and I don't think I've ever seen Blackwell drive...Marc McDonald either, never before. Sounds like it should be a really good show; all those trucks can run!

[JasonMiller]

the typical setup has been straight line drag. Last year they had freestyle motorcross and lawnmower racing, but they are advertising quads this year. I'd expect the two racing lanes on either side of the FMX hill with one lane doubled for freestyle and also a car-vav-car at the other end of the arena.
We'll be there Friday night,Saturday pit party and 2pm show and Sunday 2pm show.

[BrianStell]

So basically like the layout that was run in Philadelphia last month - Straight line, FMX hill in middle, van stack at one end. (There are vids on YouTube of it - and funny enough, Rod Schmidt was in Digger there I'm pretty sure, and Captain's Curse, too - so some similar trucks, lol).

Thanks for the info. - I've never really been to a Monster Jam other than Uniondale (Nassau Coliseum) - I'm looking forward to this one here, should be cool! Like I said, a lot of guys/trucks I've never seen run before, so I'm RAELLY stoked. I'll be up in Row A of 219 on Sunday; 1-5 - me and 4 friends are makin' out way out from Long Island to check it out :)

That's actually close compared to what I usually do with CFP, lol.

See ya there!

[JasonMiller]

The Philly track is exactly what they've been doing in W-B. I wouldn't mind seeing a different Digger driver-just because I've seen Rod in Philly and W-B the last two years-but its a stout lineup no doubt. Alex will probably be on fire driving so close to home. See you there.

[Max D Girl]

hey, do you think there are still some good seats for this show? and does anybody know if the pit passes are included in the ticket price for the sat show or do you have to get them separately?! thinking of going...it's only about 2 hours away!

[uLtRaMaX]

I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting you guys-gals. See ya there Beerman!

[andyman]

IT IS VERY ANNOYING TO ME WHY MONSTERJAMONLINE HAS NOT POSTED THE OFFICAL LINEUP FOR WILKES BARRE. ARE THESE PEOPLE LAZY OR DID THEY FORGET?:confused: I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE LINEUP IS FOR SURE IN ORDER TO GO!!!!!!!!

[Beerman1]

line up is


Eradicator
Backdraft
Broker
Capt Curse (alex)
Digger (rod)
Safe Auto (Marc)

[andyman]

It is an okay lineup, although i wish rod was not there in digger. I am going to think about going, but i wish superman was there.

[steve]

rod drove pretty good in philly this year.

[RKM]

I'm looking forward to seeing Rod in Digger again, especially after seeing some of his small arena freestyles from earlier this year.

[andyman]

i wonder if captain's curse got his flag? Eager to hear results and see pics/video!!!!!
