Monster Trucks, ESA 2014

Well, it is monster truck season again! World Finals is only a few weeks away! Here are some pictures of monster trucks at the Energy Solutions Arena is Salt Lake. I was able to take my nephew to one show and then go with my cousin and his daughter to the other show. Both shows were awesome. Sunday afternoon was definitely the best of the two shows I went to. 

 Maverick Monster Trakker caught on fire. The advance auto parts guys took a minute to put the flame out. I am pretty sure people were telling them to 'pull the pin' off the fire extinguisher. Everything worked out the way it needed too and everyone was safe.

 Here I am with my nephew Cody and Linsey Weenk. He is my new favorite:) I will be cheering for him in Vegas for sure! I am pretty sure I have a little crush on him.

 On Saturday, since I bought pit passes, we had crappy seats. We were in the second row in the upper bowel. Its a good thing I didn't spend too much money on seats because my nephew fell asleep!

 Grave Digger wrecked. Poor guy got out of his truck and went to the mic like he won...but he lost. Well, that was just my perception of if. I thought it was kinda awkward. He should have won though...I mean, he wrecked at the very last second!

 No, usually the wheelie competition is that great..but Iron Outlaw WALKED ACROSS THE CARS!! I have NEVER seen this before. It was pretty bad ass.

 Good ol Linsey in the Lucas Oil Crusader. His truck broke on Friday night, but was given the engine from Captains Curse that they got from Grave Digger a few weeks ago. Awe, that is sweet.

 Bounty Hunter also caught on fire...well, a little bit. This was after the truck was parked. He sure put on a good show!

 Racing! Bounty Hunter won all the racing...at least from what I remember.

 You can't ever go to a monster truck show without seeing a donut! (I don't know the correct term or how to spell this, don't judge). Anyway, they are cool.

I told my nephew that he had to show me how excited he was...and this is how he showed me...by smiling SUPER cheesy. haha, what a kid.\\


Oh, just a little rivalry.....
