This time on “The Allen Report”, we travel up to the biggest 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals of the year at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. Eight of the fastest, most competitive monster trucks in the nation were on hand to do battle on a modified “So-Cal style” race track. Mark Hall held the reigns of his usual Raminator. Mat Dishman was right behind piloting Rammunition as was relative newcomer Mike Miller in Mopar Muscle. But Team Bigfoot wasn’t going down easy as Dan Runte, running his own 25th Anniversary paint scheme on #18 and Larry Swim at the controls of Lucas Oil Bigfoot #19 ensured that The Original Monster Truck team would fight all the way to the end of the weekend. Returning to the Jamborees after a few years away were Jim Koehler driving Avenger with his brother Steve behind the wheel of General Tire, along with Dave Radzeirez and his signature diesel powered XDP Diesel Monster Truck. Elsewhere on the grounds, the world’s only electric powered monster truck, Odyssey Batteries Bigfoot #20 was on display. [Read more…]

This time on “The Allen Report”, we headed to the Fairplex in Pomona, California for the Los Angeles County Fair opening “Flip Fest”. Mark Schroeder arrived to pilot Devastator. For fans of Mark’s Felon, I’m happy to report that he’s bringing it back for first quarter next year. Also in the house was Marana, Arizona’s own Rod Wood driving McGruff. The father and daughter team of Kelvin and Rosalee Ramer came to town with Time Flys and Wild Flower. The incredibly talented seventeen year old was extremely popular with the audience. Crowd favorite Jimmy Creten stepped out of his usual Bounty Hunter and into Iron Outlaw, built especially for a huge, never before seen stunt to round out the night. Finally, making its world performance debut was the Knucklehead monster truck driven by rock band Five Finger Death Punch lead guitarist Zoltan Bathory. [Read more…]

This time on “The Allen Report”, we once again make our way to motorsports venue Rocky Mountain Raceways to watch eleven monster trucks do battle on the sport’s only figure-eight race track. Jimmy Creten, as always, was driving Bounty Hunter Yellow while his wife Dawn Creten was right behind in Scarlet Bandit. Trent Montgomery returned behind the wheel of Bounty Hunter Black and newcomer Nate Kirchner took the reigns of Iron Outlaw. Representing Team Bigfoot were Kevin Koszala in Odyssey Batteries #11, Darren Schnell in Vi-Cor #15 and Larry Swim in Lucas Oil #19. Doug Charles arrived piloting Wild Thang.
