So the flip wasn't a complete rotation, but you got to admit that it looked dramatic and Thunda did end up on its wheels, and could have continued the freestyle, which alot of trucks that flip can't do. If I remember Meants in europe, his first flip he only rolled backwards.
Clive ran really hard on the weekend, he made it to the semi finals in most of the racing brackets, only to be beaten by the foot or ram trucks, who race all the time. Clive is going really well in racing considering that in most states here in Australia, he can't race due to state regulations we can't even get permits at a speedway, so I would say that Clive races over here in about 3 shows per year, in most races they only beat him by a few yards.
He has beaten the Lucas oil truck, this years indoor champion, every time they have met in racing, not too bad if you ask me.
Anyone know who won Sunday? Friday's final was amazing.
RAMINATOR!!! You can't beat that Hemi Power!!!
I really liked Clive when I met him. He is very laidback didn't get upset with the flip rolls. He just went right to work fixing the Thunda right after the autograph sessions. I was told the Thunda chassis is one Paul Shafer's and not the actual Thunda chassis. Can anyone confirm or correct this rumor?

wonderful to see the aussie icon in action. an congrates to you clive. australia is very restricted in what we are an are not allowed to do. so for you to be able to fly half way around the world to a different country an few days befor a show with a small crew an no major sponsor to throw cash at your feet an compete with some of the best in america an dam near beat them.. i would love to see you get a solid season an see what your able to do then. you truely are an insperation mate keep up the fantastic work.
Ok it wasn't a full backflip like at the WF's in Vegas but it was still a Backflip.. Ive been watching clive for nearly 8 years now and i gotta say he know's how to entertain a crowd! He did pretty good over the weekend in Bloomsburg and i asure you alot of his Fans/Friends where back home watching and reading how he went and where pretty dam happy with what he did..

The chassis he is running is definitely the Thunda chassis which is a PEI Chassis and not one of Paul's chassis.
The truck is now at PEI for repairs before the next show and also to get some more spares.
I think a lot of members here have gained a new found respect for Clive after his jamboree showings. And of course there are some who can't offer a differing opinion without sinking low, but hey, this Is mayhem after all.
No doubt about Clive has run the hardest he has ever done, Bloomsburg certainly proved that! He will be winning a whole heap of new fans no doubt about it!
