    Connelsville, PA and Washington, PA August 2012 Show Thread


    Members do not see advertisements
    As summer schedules start to be posted, we all go digging to see who will be at our local shows - here are the trucks that I've found for the two PA Performance Motorsports shows so far:

    Virginia Giant - both shows
    Eradicator - both shows
    Backdraft - both shows
    Bad News Travels Fast - both shows
    Bigfoot 14 - Connelsville (Washington date is beyond the current Bigfoot schedule page)


    Samson is NOT on the schedule for either show this year. Bigfoot is scheduled to be at the Fishersville show, and a local newspaper story about the Fayette Fair mentions that Bigfoot is coming this year - could they be the 5th truck on the card? Guess we'll have to wait for the next Bigfoot schedule update . . . . . . .

    Bigfoot 14 with our buddy Kyle Doyle will indeed be making the trek to Connelsville this year! This will be the first time the Bigfoot team has hit the fairgrounds since 2004 when Alan Hartstock took Bigfoot 10 to an impressive night of action.

    Dang - I'm not sure who I want to see more! I've wanted to see Kyle in action, but ET I must say is one of my favorites of all time! I appreciate the update Bob - now it's time to really get psyched up.

    Racing has wrapped up in Connelsville. Brandon Darrow in Bad News Travels Fast has shocked the crowd! Brandon took out Eric Tack in Bigfoot in the semi-finals straight up and then did the same thing to Jeremy Slifko in the finals with Backdraft. Congrats to Brandon and his family/crew for a job well done!

    Freestyle was certainly interesting - Jeremy Slifko gave Connelsville what I believe was its first ever rollover in the history of the show, and Eric Tack slung a rear driveshaft on Bigfoot on a slap wheelie attempt that had a little too much rebound. I'll try to have videos up soon if possible. Of note, Diehl Wilson was wearing the promotor hat only and didn't have the Virginia Giant in the show.

    I grew up going to this show just about every year. I cant recall or even remember hearing any stories of anyone ever rolling, so yes i do believe Jeremy Slifko rolling Backdraft is a first for our little event.

    I remember going to the shows in the 1980's as well and never saw a roll over.

    Not to mention we never saw Bigfoot either up untill a few years ago but that's besides the point.
