We are off to the West-Coast for another run of shows. Daron and I started west and made a stop in Glendale, AZ for a one night stadium event. It was cool doing a stadium in the summer. We both did well. Daron made it deep into the bracket in racing and put up a good number in freestyle. My truck decided it didn’t like the planetary and locked it up. We worked the better part of the first half to clean and reinstall a new planet, so we would be ready for freestyle. We got it back together in time for intermission. Krunch put a good score up and was still able to drive off the track.

Our next stop was Salt Lake City, UT for the annual Clash of the Titans. It is always a cool show to do. This year there were Bigfoot trucks everywhere. They had three foot trucks and nine other trucks including ours. The team did very well this year Krunch took home racing on Saturday night and finished second in freestyle on Sunday night. Daron qualified number 2 for Sunday but got taken out by Bounty II in the semis. He put up another good number in freestyle with some nice air and good momentum. Congrats to our friend Daron Migues in Bounty II for his Sunday Sweep. I always knew he had it in him.

With the end of the Clash for this year Daron headed to Oregon to get ready for Grants Pass and I headed to the shop to get some work done. We are out until mid October with shows in:

Grants Pass, OR on August 21-22

Monroe, WA on August 28

Sublimity, OR on Sept. 11-13

OKC, OK on Sept 25-26

Red Bluff, CA Oct 2-4

Then we are back to Silsbee, TX on Oct 17.
