of speed Echoes with the

thunder

of foreign giant trucks welcome What may be one of Rich's most traditional facilities still in operation in Monster Truck competition, we are at the Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon, New York, for the

2022

edition of versus monster trucks, monsters and megas, and we have an incredible field of vehicles that will do it. We'll be racing here tonight of course, we've got the monsters, we've got the mega old number six in the house and that's a vehicle with a history as old as this track and the incredible machine powered by King Sling Richard piloted by that gentleman Weston Anderson . representing the Anderson Klan here tonight at the mega, so the old man is in the house, he's here with King Slingy signing autographs and of course two lucky fans will get to take a ride around the track later this weekend along with the megas. although we have the monsters like the name of Lies, monsters and megas, the megas will compete in one group, the monsters will compete in another group, the two winners of those groups will return to fight for the overall championship, of course, The Robbins brothers are here , Greg Winchend Box Crush Station and Lumberjack, along with the entire Scream team, competing in a field of eight trucks.

It should be a close contest on the frontstretch of this legendary Speedway here in Eastern New York, right on the Massachusetts border, as you look over the mountain range at the setting sun. We're going to open things up tonight with the Monster Truck rating. Look at our first place finisher. Crystal Wiki of Chicopee Massachusetts in the GMC-bodied Lumberjack from the state of Maine, he will set the pace for the rest of the foreign field falls from our next competitor who is going after a 9.86 Montana Robbins one of the brothers' two second-generation drivers ravitz what is New York this is crazy playing with the colors of F2 products as he crosses the finish line with an 8.88 In the second race he will take the number one spot after his qualifying attempt right there while we line up our next machine .

Corey Rummel at Rage from North Jackson Ohio driving one of the team's four scream trucks here tonight from Michigan overseas in the second no. The land of man, but still manages an elapsed time of 7.4 seconds, so Corey Rummel moves into the number one spot as the older of the two Roberts brothers comes to the start line also from Lawton's New York and another Edge and with Jansen's power behind and below. The driver, this is a crazy train crossing the finish line, can see how aggressive the ramps are here, a 7.46, so only six hundreds of the top time is good enough to put him in second place.

Montana Robbins, his brother, previously ran an 8.88 with a very similar truck. So we will have to see if they are able to accelerate. They brought me a car with the race that Triton just did. Now on the line, a pair of the team's display vehicles are lined up. You see Brutus there. Chris Kohler second. generation driver his father will be out in a moment in Avenger but this is Brutus a 7 that will put him in third place for the moment Brutus laid down and shot the racehorse chassis machine from Columbus Michigan here comes the guy from Jefferson made another Second generation driver who is Zach Wichita, the guy they call a scoob at the shredding station, a monster, Lobster, nose down, landing at the finish line in 9.44, not what I was looking for, just feel the truck here, a fairly new chassis that they debuted last year and that's still going strong. a couple of Bound for them, a solid effort.

I bring competition in the first round later tonight, here comes a guy who has been an ABS, an absolute phenom early in his career. This is Joe Foley from Leicester Massachusetts in Acts, another member of Team Stream ready to go. after a 7.4 7.61 won't get you to the number one spot, but it will move cream, looks amazing here as our final qualifier is Mr. Excitement, team owner shouts Jim Cole, now Columbus Michigan, this is the adventure, another Corey Rummel chassis below. a gym pushing arm 57 Bel Air to an elapsed time of 7.15 seconds to take the number one spot as the first night's qualifying action concluded.

Kohler at the top of the heap. As we take a look at our ranking results, you can see Avenger with that 7.15. to Brutus at number five, the top five including the team's four scream machines and the crazy train, and then more than a full second out of the top five since playing crazy, followed by Crush Station and Lumberjack, for what the Witching Back team will have To ramp up when we get to the first round, I'm now going to take a look at some highlights from our street Tuff truck competition that started before Showtime today. Aaron taking cover in this beat up old Silverado came out first and looking a bit. worse for wear, we were pretty sure it wouldn't make it out of the first round even though it had a buying spree as you can see the machine literally breaking in half and fire and rescue teams headed there very quickly to do Make sure that none of that fuel that you see coming out of that fuel tank that came completely out from under the vehicle caught fire, of course, there is no damage, there is no fault in the truck that if you look between the box and the cabin used to be blue. has been canned with black spray our first couple of early action in tough trucks Austin babysitter and Stu babysitter father and son and was braised taking advantage of a mistake the boy made on the corner will be door to door here tonight that battle right there didn't show how The action is going to be tight, but this could be a problem for Brett and Austin and it issues two athlete name machines.

You can see a very narrow corridor for them to go down on their way back towards the finish line, there were problems getting the best of those two races, now Sydney and Jr. we mostly just have the names of these drivers, but let's try to get the two biggest machines in the group to duel in the first round and you can see. Jr gave Sydney a push, although he wouldn't let her catch Byer, as she would cross the finish line in the F-250 in front of the big Dodge Ram. We'll see his father later in this group now, brother and sister paired up right here.

Brianna lashes out and Sean lashes out Sean is in the little Scion and he made quick work of his sister and pushed this machine a lot harder than we thought he was going to, in fact there wasn't much left of it after the first round, camp by Matt Hogan. in Colorado taking on Nick Winkler, another one of those leopard-painted machines in the Matt Hogan camp, here representing Operating Engineers Local 158 and he didn't get the race he was hoping for this round, but he's not out of it yet. there's the father of the father-daughter team, he saw the purple F-250 earlier, Steve in the Bronco trying to pit Dominic in the Jurassic Jeep.

Dominick flew towards the finish line causing a little damage to the front, but Steve did more. completely erased the left front corner of that beautiful pit that used to be beautiful, big and bad, Bronco and there you see that big mud tire lying in the middle of the track, here came the shape of a little pair of Brian O'Neal in the pink Jeep. against Chris and the bad influence and you can see O'Neill leaning on the little jacket. This was a tough battle, everyone wanted to get to the alley first while the hood opened. I'm not sure how he saw where he was going, but he managed to not rear-end the man in front of him, so, well, now look at the machine that can get us in trouble for trademark violations.

It's Chad Ersey vs. Nick Marchese and you can see how aggressive these two got, but there look at all this. on its own, it ends at its top, very fitting considering the paint scheme on that machine got a boost right there, but heading into the left lane coming this way for the monsters and megas, it was fine when it came out . of the machine overturned largely thanks to the Lebanon Valley Auto Racing fire and EMS available here tonight we have a lot more amazing action right ahead, we are just getting started, the megas are still to come as well as monster truck and truck racing modified resistors. stay with us, this Channel Productions show is brought to you in part by Monsters Monthly For up-to-date media information and all your other monster truck needs, visit monstersmonthly.com and click this to see the inside of the world of monster trucks. out smash this, a monster truck podcast, foreign foreign productions show is presented in part by RPM Army for a wide range of content from around the world of motorsports, visit rpmarmy.com for a high-quality solution performance on the go, welcome back to Lebanon Valley Speedway. for a little Thunder in the Valley with monsters and megas West Lebanon, New York host after kid an incredible story of monster truck action through the years and continues here with versus monster trucks back for round two of our tough Austin street trucks to Stu nanny in the avalanche closest to us taking trouble, the orange Jeep Grand Cherokee on the other side of the track and they're already going hard here in the second round, making their way to the first inn has a clear lead and We'll see if that changes. the parts coming out of the back of the Avalanche Austin chase him around with the troubled Jeep but can't get in front of him.

We'll have to see what's left of that Avalanche when Stu gets deeper into this field. Let's see if he is able to claim a victory, he is tremendously fast here tonight, this should be interesting. Sean whips around in the Scion taking on Sydney in the F-250. The biggest look. John whips and a little Scion trying to push the smoke away. Pieces, peace and hearts are right, not long for this world, what a man, the right rear tire and I don't know how many chances he has left, but what a couple here in the second round moving very fast from a couple of trucks. to the next I'm going to continue now immediately to the line Nick Wigler and Dominic bombardia in the Jurassic Jeep the Jeep very far in front immediately let's see if we can catch it it's going down hard in the front it looks like the front suspension is starting to fall apart, but it still runs fast down the middle to take the win, so Dominic will move on to the next round to let the dust settle and prepare to take our next pair to the line, which will be Brian O'Neill. in the spray can, pink Jeep vs. uh Nick Marchese in the Ford Expedition, let's look at the turn first, look at that Jesse trying to sneak around the inside, oh Neil, leaving some hoods on the track while he runs over some of the pieces of Flattens out the tire but still leaves his shot on the way to the finish line.

Now here comes what's left of that Colorado camp Matt Hogan representing the Operating Engineers Union Local 158, let's see if this machine makes it to the finish line. Look how he flexed. sitting on the ground right now, I'm not sure how the driveline and transmission stay together in that thing, but you can see a lot of smoke coming out of that half of the Chevy Colorado that's going to take it off the track. I doubt he'll come back, but he fired two rounds in a row bending that truck in half. Now we'll move on to our modified class right away.

Mike Moreau, a Wayne Radiator Special in Torrington Connecticut, taking on Jeep mod number 420. The driver named Brian tries to hang on with him, but just a little to get Moreau to a win with Wayne's bright blue radiator truck. The 420 Jeep will have to wait another day here in the modified class, it will get a We'll shoot it tomorrow night, see what it can do now, taking a look at the number 158 mod Jeep on the track and the number 76 modified Jeep, let's see what they can do these guys here in round number one. 150 58, very fast start. the alley looks like it will hold on to it, it just needs to transition to the finish line and it will pick up 76 right there without giving it too much of a challenge in that race, I'm sure it would have liked a little more for the Jeep 158.

Now here comes Carl Barnes in the modified Sayers Towing competing against Smith's Jeep 407 written by a gentleman named Chris, so we'll see and it looks like the Jeep comes out quickly, Barnes. Still sitting on the starting line, he's not a Stark, Barnes just never got going, so it'll be an easy pass. It looks like Barnes is out, but he wasted too much time and I have a feeling the driver fired at 4-1. Jeep knows it. At this point, it's going to be easy to cross the road. Yes, Barnes is now really starting over. He went off the line and then stopped a second time, so that will conclude with one of our rugged truck modified classes atthe middle area. established in the matchups, let's go ahead now and bring the megas to the starting line and begin the monsters and the Mega competition for the Mega Truck support.

This is the Mega Drop rating. You're looking at Adam Whimple and the little faker, we'll see what it is. has for his competition, which will be Gary Sabella in the old number six of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, a wimple from Gloversville, New York, a red Chevy S10 Body Machine, a lot of smoke from this thing from the starting line, but that's how it is. likes to race, as we'll be going side by side with a legendary pair of Frameworks in the old number six, Richard's big horsepower machine has to be the favorite here. Seville is known to be built to punish with that big blower motor on top.

Willy's old number six truck has a long history of building awesome mega trucks. He went on a wild, wild ride testing out John Gerlock's Tornado earlier in the year. It's part of the reason the machine isn't here, but now it's up to the little faker's wheel. Both guys got away fast, but you can really lead at a pace. The elapsed time of 7.87 puts him in the number one spot, the wimples 983. Although Adam will have a feeling he'll have more going for him when he returns for the next round, The next pair of machines in line called Dave Raynor in the blue Morris Connecticut Ford. just showing off against a dirty t-shirt, that's Bobby Sage in a Hainesport New Jersey, the Big Orange S10 here's the camera, by far, just showing the best of those two times you saw Sage was out of it, but stumbled a little going into the final jump and I'm not going to say that jump intimidates these guys, but I have to wonder as we look at our next couple coming to the line and this one will be interesting, a couple of dirty looking diesel machines. the longer wheelbase black and white Chevrolet that is Wally Klein of Jacksonville Vermont taking on Ohio Rainey of Wallingford Connecticut notice the difference between hall power and a 11-01 lead dirty look paranormal mission of the year Here comes Timothy says Pittsfield Massachusetts in The Outsider, facing the glue, saw the heavy cover of its first year and the Ford struggling here.

Both machines from the small town of Pittsfield. Matt Fenwick and the Gladiator took a wild and wild ride on night number two here in 2021, getting off the bus, jumping down, the Center completely disintegrated the front of that truck and in doing so took a hard lick, probably 40 feet in the air, yes I'm directly on the ground, let's see what this rebuilt Gladiator fan has to take. the top s are flat at 82 for Timothy Sayers, which will put Tim in sixth place. Gladiator will move into second place right behind Gary Sibel and the former number six, but they are nowhere near each other when it comes to Pace, here comes King Sling. the legend created by Dennis Anderson in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, being driven by Weston Anderson next to the hurricane Mark Gerlach of Lanesboro Massachusetts mentioned the Gerlock family before, look what Mark has and that beautiful Chevrolet for that green Willis truck bright. of Kill Devil Hills North Carolina North vs.

South right here on the tee line in the foreign ninety rankings for Anderson will put him in the number two spot and the 97th hole will put Gerlock in the number nine position after the rankings for Mega drugs, so that will set the pace for in the first round, when we come back, we will have a full group of megas, we have tougher truck races and of course we still have to see the monster trucks start their group of the first round, stay with us, many races and more. is still to come from here at Lebanon Valley Speedway overseas back at Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon New York as the megas prepare for their first round of competition pool style eliminations here on the frontstretch we'll be back in action now with our semi-final round of tough street truck action, Stu sitting in the Avalanche in the pit lane which is the left side of the track, right on the screen, going against Sean, grab that little Scion that could see your stew.

The free whip exit will appear in just a minute, a little Scion trying to stay on him right there, trying to get inside, eating Sean last, trying to get a Scion on the back of the Avalanche and I don't. I know if you can see a lot of smoke or steam now coming through the vents on that thing, it took an absolute beating when our other pair from the semi-final round shows up here, it's the camera that was in Buffalo before. Corner facing forward. stretch a jurassic jeep falling apart it takes a wild ride was the final stretch and speaking of front end damage, there goes Brian O'Neal and the pink spray can Grand Cherokee as we prepare for round two of action in our tough trucks modified This is also their semi-final round of Jeep number 158 and they are already on the front stretch.

You will have to take the right as he attacks Michael strongly. Michael doesn't give an inch. Wayne's radiator truck will move on to the championship. round, you will match Colonel Barnes and the Sayers Towing vehicle that returned after his first round opponent broke down, it was the 407th Jeep mod that will take on a gentleman named Brian in the 420th Jeep mod with the type of strangely He set the front end, but this thing moves pretty well on the track, it didn't do what he wanted, well, let's see if he can make up for it here in the semi-finals.

Foreign, not enough, put on a show and that will put the number 420 against Wayne's Radiator Service truck and our modified tough truck championship race. I'll sincerely watch Dominic in the Jeep Jurassic in the championship race of our street actions while those guys clear the track, we'll let the dust settle and then we'll get back to some of the big trucks, now the mega group is about to arrive to the line going up Pit Road, that's Hurricane Mark Gerlock coming out of Lanesboro, Massachusetts, he's going to go next to Gary Sabella. from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, in the old number six vehicle with the frame rails out from under the old street excavator, now, uh, going down the track, okay, I think it's interesting, the pickup truck Willy tops me off, this thing is made to race, but so is Hurricane.

Should be a good matchup, gerlock, he's been competitive, no, I don't know what he has, although he has the old number six, his old number six qualified with a 787 gerlot, he qualified in the uh 1079 for ninth place, so it's the first and the ninth. here in the first round abroad, I think Sabella won it, but a 702 for old number six is ​​a hurricane, he was eliminated here in the first round when hole 897 number six returned to the pits maintaining a first place here as he continues time down there, you see icon Dennis Anderson talking to Greg Wichenbach and of course you see Bob Robins and his two sons Triton Montana there talking to the monster truck racing legend who will be behind the wheel for the rest of the season Extreme King Sling's

2022

gave fans now dirty rides Jersey Bobby Sage of the S10 against Dave Raynor, these two faced off and Sage in qualifying ran a 1097 Raider a 996.

Both guys were much faster in this very Jersey running round a 9.15 In the second race, Raynard took the victory and it was 8.98, so they both accelerated. Watch it again and you'll see the kind of ebb and flow of this race. Raynor got off to a great start and started to lose some ground, although there in the end it looked like Sage might have been able to get revenge on him, but Raynor kept him in front and flew straight to the finish line in the big blue Ford. Adam Whipple now comes to the line in the little Chevrolet Faker taking a smoky ride and a couple of smokers in the line, one with the big alcohol engine and the other with the diesel with dirty looks, arriving at the line Raleigh Klein from Jacksonville, Vermont, facing Adam Webb, many from Gloversville, New York, Faker in the dirty right lane. looks to the left Rebel flying towards the finish line dirty looks trying to get him a run to leave the middle formal enough very bigger reaching the finish line again flying over the final jump sped up from a 983 so the 889 seems faster in this race I see the bed starting to get hard with that whole milk contraption, but it's sturdy and will hold up all night when The Outsider hits the line.

Timothy Sayers of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, returns with Matt Fedwick with whom we agree in the classification. We're on opposite sides of the Fenwick rink at the Gladiator, both machines from Pittsfield, Massachusetts, this could be either Bunny's game night on the goal glass there with nine O's for a 9-4 Gladiator lead and Fenwick had to come. back on that a slow start for him, watch out I'll start digging in and again I'm not saying these guys are gun shy. I'm definitely not saying that, but I wonder if they're letting themselves go by trying not to. jump that steep final ramp because that's where Matt Fenwick stepped on the gas and passed the outsider in the air as Weston Anderson King Sling prepares to take on Kyle Rainey.

This will be a lopsided showdown, the odds are the favorite in this one has to be King Sling and Weston Anderson as he has that big horsepower colony Richard and injected a pair of super fast and colorful green machines onto the start line. Wallingford Connecticut's Kyle Rainey taking on North Carolina's Willis. Oh, incredible the throttle response on That machine is just incredible and look at this. Elapsed time of 6.40 seconds for Weston Anderson. He is now the fastest on track of the weekend as he takes down the big diesel. There you see Stick getting ready to line it up back in the hole ready for his next round of racing, more action coming from monsters and megas when we return, welcome to Wild Man's adventure for Silver Lake Sand Dragway, there really weren't any off-roaders in Back then, everything was off-road.

I got the slippery wood hey, we're here with Rich coming today we're here with Mike Potter hey, we're here with LP although we'll see him this week we're going to go down memory lane at Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon, New York, getting ready for the first round of side by side monster truck racing on a classic straight line free jump circuit, the old standard here in Lebanon Valley Avenger and Lumberjack will battle it out in the first round, a bit of a lopsided matchup but Sawicki may have something for Jim Kohler it will be Brutus vs.

Axe, a team scream machine battle and then another brother vs. brother team battle will be Montana Robbins in simple madness taking on Triton Robbins and a crazy train and then rage taking on Crush Station. Then another showdown between one of the inbox trucks and one of the teams screams machines as our first showdown hits the line. There you see Crystal Wiki from Chicopee Massachusetts in that amazing Maine State Lumberjack GMC logging truck concept machine. The chassis has been around for quite some time. Greg Winchend bought a complete team. They have had a lot of success with that truck.

They know it's proven, but it's up against a tough Jim Kohler Avenger built by Corey Rummel in Columbus, Michigan. Jim has already proven that he is super fast on his straight line Speedway tracks, we saw it earlier this year, he took a win in Hagerstown, Maryland, now here at another of the big three monster truck racing tracks in what As far as Speedways go, this may have the longest history of The fast and fierce monster truck competition at the circuit still operates today as both wait in green as they receive the go-ahead from starter Danny Barnes who takes them to the line that takes off, they wait. the green line of the foreign Avenger with a 797. victory Victory Dragon any hope, so Wiki had to catch up with Kohler, he worked on the landing on the second jump, look at it again, so Wiki was with him there, maybe an advantage the length of a truck, started stretching that on the glass Wiki, see right there. the bounce on Lumberjack cost him the second no man's land at that moment and Avenger flies to the finish line, a hard landing truck from Maine, now a chocolate machine lining up, this is an axe, part of the scream team lining up against another scream machine, there's Chris Kohler.

Brutus will go toe to toe with Joe Foley and Acts 2 of the new generation of monster truck drivers, both absolutely fearless guys down to the heaviest feet in the business, no one knows which of these trucks he will take. victory, the favorite lane has to be the bot lane, although you don't have the bend to deal with, but the victory you just saw came from the top lane or the right lane, as they prepare, they will give you the thumbs up . until Danny Barnes, will take off and they will wait in the green action. Brutus, the second match of the first round,foreigner from Columbus, Michigan, taking down his teammate Joe Foley, from the state of Massachusetts, driving the old uh standby that Jim Kohler built with an ax and then was at his side, in fact, he only had the advantage until the last moment , look at that to get the win by two hundredths of a second and I think it could have happened right there, you see him lose form, both of them. a little out of shape on that jump, but Foley started drifting inside on that Top Lane and that was enough for Chris Kohler to pass him at the finish line, now our third pairing and this should be another good one, brother against brother . on almost identical trucks they may not look the same, but that's just cosmetic, a pair of Mica chassis with big Jensen power inside the frame rails, machines prepared very similarly, right down to the tire and rims, the only Real difference here is calm, calm and collected. the one from the Crazy Train, the younger brother Montana Robbins, just crazy, who will it be? and another sensational matchup, but true Lane, who was the winner, I hope to come out of the line very well, maybe a little advantage to train crazy right here, although they are. holding on pretty well, even Crazy Train started to take advantage in that second section of no man's land and it was enough again, a very close matchup, a crazy 7.99 lead Tran is our last pair arriving at the Crush line station which It's uh Zach Wichita. call him scoob as he goes next to Corey Rummel with a side of team scream rage Corey built this chassis too as did Jim Kohler's truck, a very heavy machine built like a tank, but it definitely showed that it has a lot of horsepower to lower it.

The track is, uh, pick a younger second generation driver and Zach Wichita, no doubt, there's no doubt he's going to be furious, it's that at 10 noon he's going to get on the back field and get ready for the round semifinal. lots of showdowns here in this one first look at it again look at the landing Crush station makes crossing the finish line again with the nose just as bad as it did in qualifying but trying to get used to that truck again it's pretty new to this in his rookie season behind the wheel, but he's proving that he's definitely not one to mess with when he realizes this, now he's going to be a giant killer like us.

We go to our final round of our badass truck Stu, who stops on the street, against Dominic's hookah hernia in the Jurassic Jeep or the Jurassic Park machine on top of the race track and he runs away, The first student will have to try to run him over in the The jeep on the corner has been the fastest all night. Watch the Avalanche cut into Big Air from the front and it continues with the letter talking falling apart, but Stu in the center will take the stock and the Jeep will need some work if he has any.

Back to this tomorrow, I have another group of tough trucks here Saturday night, we get right to it now with the championship race in our modification group. Mike Moreau, in form on a radiator machine on the waves, has been dominant all night. Continue for a long time, so let's achieve victory in the modified class, we are not done yet, megas and monsters still have a score to settle. Semifinal round action is upon us as we return to the beautiful foreign night of Lebanon Valley here in East New York. Along the Massachusetts border looking towards the Taconic Parkway, we now prepare for the Mega Truck semi-final round racing.

We lost a few in the previous group due to breakage. Let's go straight to our final four. Matt Fenwick in the Gladiator is much better. far from what ended last year last year, although the fans loved it, they are an incredible Ford Ranger facing a tough competitor, old number six, Gary Sabella of Kill Devil Hills, Carolina of the North, facing the Ford of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Thanks, we will do it. See which of these guys will emerge victorious in the previous round. The old number six ran 702 Fenwick in the Gladiator ran 906. The advantage has to go to the guy from Top Lane, Fenwick gave him nothing.

Keep the number six to work for it and a 797 to an 801 so you can see how close Fenwick came at the end, he chased him from the start and didn't give him an inch until the end of that race. Sabella had to be on his game when our final semi-final pairing comes to the line, there you see Adam Whipple on a little Faker ready to go next to a Dynamo right here King Sling Weston Anderson of Kill Devil Hills North Carolina, a home state hero taking on a legacy family and a man, his father came here in the '80s and left a big mark on this very facility, he really made his name here on the front stretch of the Lebanon Valley Speedway.

Anderson looks unbeatable tonight and it looked like Whipple might. I let him go there mid-track knowing I couldn't catch him at 1183 with a seven flap by the way, another great run for King Sling, but I don't think that run was indicative at all of what Adam Whipple's will figure is capable of. He tried to take down royalty here at Lebanon Valley Speedway, so it's going to be King Sling Weston Anderson and the former number six in the championship race now we're back to the monster trucks? Avenger will face Brutus Avenger knocked out Lumberjack in the first round.

Brutus knocking out his teammate Chris Kohler taking out Joe Foley on one of the crazy trains, right Robin to knock out his brother Montana Robbins getting angry Corey Rummel who knocked out frustration around one, so three of our four semi-finalists come to us from Team Screaming, interestingly, Jim Kohler built the first crazy train that Bob Robins owned, so there is some history between the two teams that have made it this far, but there is one standout that will have to go after Corey Rumble in the next match first, although we. We will see father and son here fighting at the Lebanon Valley Speedway in their first visit to this legendary track and they are definitely gaining new fans, if those fans didn't already know them, they must love the high-flying action of the monsters and megas 2022 Edition Here Coming Chris Kohler to the line now to battle with his dad through the Race Source Brutus chassis going alongside the Corey Rumble Avenger chassis, we have definitely seen Chris over the last few years have some simply amazing races. behind the wheel of this truck and I mentioned before, this is a guy who is absolutely fearless, he's a chip off the old block, but he's definitely making a name for himself, he's not riding his father's coattails in any way, he's a wanted driver on industry right now as he goes to his father's side, who would be prouder than ever to see his own son beat him, but it's not going to give him anything to get to that final round, so this should be a solid point. to start. our semi-final round of monster truck racing when Danny Barnes takes them to the line gets the go ahead, will take off and go to the green gym from the start, just a little stretching, that thing is there in the second half of the Of course , Avenger with the 793 to an 885 and I'm not sure if Chris had a problem about halfway down the track, but it didn't seem like it was as bad as when he came off the starting line when Jim returns to the track. fitness area, we prepare to bring our second semi-final matchup to the line.

You see Corey Rumble in Rage advancing towards the staging area. Now he'll go side by side with Triton Robbins and Crazy Train and, as I mentioned, Jim Kohler. built Bob Robbins' original crazy train, as well as the previous truck that Bob had, so maybe there's a little civil war here on the line, but it's Michigan and New York that are facing off right now, as Triton arrives from western New York to fight here on the eastern side of the state facing the Corey Rumble belt, the S10 out of the state of Michigan will wait once again until I give him the nod, once I give him the nod he will come to a safe spot and free Rubble trying to chase him at the end when you let him take him a little too far in front Triton Robbins in Crazy Drain Bushing Corey Rumble to the Limit and it's a good run for Robin looking at a Corey Rumble 7-15 792.

What race with a big shot they took you out of Lawton's New York, he will go to the championship race against Avenger in our group of monster trucks. There you see proud dad, Dennis Anderson getting ready to send Weston to fight Gary. Savella, the entire Mega Truck Hit area is gathering here out front to watch this final round showdown between road buddies King Sling and old number six, a couple of Richard-powered vehicles and, uh, being serviced this weekend by Cliff Thomas, the legendary Cliff Thomas, they call him. Hit anyone who had the pleasure of riding in the old digger truck in the mid 90's probably took a ride with Cliff and anyone who watched TNN in 2000 probably remembers Cliff taking a wild ride at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida, but here another one.

Legendary installation, we will see the youngest of the Anderson generation in King Sling alongside Gary Sabella in the old number six, so two machines from different generations of the Anderson family prepare to fight in the final round of our Mega. truck stand, oh foreigner, Anderson had no way of knowing, he drove his own race not to mention Hans Divine Divine made it almost impossible for him to look to his right and even know who was there, he knew Sebel would come if he was willing with a 685, a very fast race for Anderson and Gary, giving him some air time as he heads back to the pit area.

Champion him in the mega truck group as the sun sets over Taconic Mountain. Anderson in King's sling will address. into the championship round where he will face Crazy Train or Avenger. Remember we have three final rounds here tonight between the monsters and the mega, so the Mega Truck final has just been decided. That's King Slay. Now Avenger and Crazy Dream will fight for the final round of Monster Truck. the winner of this group will face King Sling in the overall championship at this time is the second generation to take on the Old Guard here Jim Kohler, who started in the late '90s behind the wheel of the S10-bodied Avenger, one of The craziest light trucks in the world. the circuit at that time now in one of the heaviest machines here the way Victory will go train crazy a 7-13 to a 798 and Triton Robbins will keep the monster truck championship at home in New York at least for night number one, but his Knight is far from done when we throw another one at him At a glance, you can see that Kohler tried to take him off the line, it didn't happen that the crazy train came out with a slight advantage Kohler hanging on with him, they are actually tied up to that point Kohler started to pull away but lost form before the final jump and that gave him allowed Triton Robbins to fly to the finish line for the win, watch him more, keep your eyes on Avenger bounces in, overcorrects, misses that last jump, just a little, not enough to disqualify him, but it cost him that. race as the tanker goes out to do some track maintenance you see a crazy train heading down the line they're just putting in some water to try to keep the dust down a little for this championship race not trying to create mud, don't try to make the track slippery, but look, just throw a little on it, a couple of dark spots, fun shouldn't be enough to hurt traction, however, when it comes to traction, these mega trucks They are unsurpassable.

A little cleat and a lot less weight, but just as much horsepower, if not more, and apparently we have a problem here in the staging area. You see Weston Anderson indicating that there may be a problem with the Rai's disposal radio on board. That truck can't run if the radio doesn't work properly. Now we see him tighten the straps but he still hasn't made any movement as if he were going to take the truck to the stage. We see the team members heading there. Now, I'm not sure what's going on here with King killing, we can see and sit on Robbins rolling into position on the first ramp, but now he's rolling back off the starting line.

Now Anderson comes to State Brighton. Robin takes the stage and it looks like we will be moving out of the mid lane for the monsters of this final round and the race for the 2022 Mega Championship as Barn Waits gets the nod from Anderson and Robin and we still haven't gotten the nod from Anderson. It's still a problem, he's fine, he looked like he gave a thumbs up and saw his arm move towards the right corner of the windshield. There go the mines that go off the track. We have a career abroad. Robbins runs alone. 8.08 seconds elapsed. time trying to maintain the championshiphere in upstate New York and it looks like he's going to make it as the King Sling crew goes out to see Weston and it looks like Cliff Thomas is upset right now, he doesn't think there's any problem. with his truck apparently he thinks it's the handheld computer and, uh, not the actual radio unit aboard King's sling, so Rai doesn't think his Rai is malfunctioning, they think it's something that happens with a handheld and a lack of communication, they want a do-over.

Since Treyton Robbins has technically taken the win, it looks like Thomas on the King Sling team will be training like crazy on the line for another race because according to them, the box is working inside King Soy, so it's possible that Let's see the track crew switch walkie-talkies. I'm not exactly sure what's going on down there, but that seems to be the conversation being had right now as Robin heads to park the truck and it sounds like Bob said go ahead and get out there and make them run again, so Robins it goes. back to the line, it seems like it's time to have a rewrite of the championship race and I'm not sure if it's going to the end, it's a lot of speculation on my part, but we started with little conversation that we could deduce from everything.

The march you saw down there can be seen in a clip it was definitely a little nervous at this point, try to keep King Sling in front of the fans, not the way they wanted to come out of the competition, certainly not in the championship race here. Friday night in the

valley

such a crazy train returning to the line good sport here tonight as he battles with Weston Anderson up here a second generation phenom on the line here two very very different machines 808 was the moment Brighton Robbins ran last round we're still waiting on the green we haven't gotten the nod yet here we go Barnes leaving the track here we go foreign Monsters and Megas championship and I'm not sure how the fans will feel I spoke of that on my show and they are definitely getting their money's worth as Weston Anderson wanted to fight Triton Robbins Triton came back to the line, they raced fair, they raced on the same track, they both had a chance to leave it there. and simmered a little because the tanker truck had just passed by there, so Triton did himself a favor by removing some of the trash from the top of that lane, but one has to wonder if that hot engine hurt him absolutely.

It sure didn't help anymore to look at his sideways landing that could have been a disaster if that truck had been even a foot further from Aleppo. Weston Anderson took a solid win here in the valley at monsters and megas 2022. Stay with us Freestyle is coming up next thank you welcome back to Lebanon Valley Speedway. Let's take a look at some highlights from our Mega Truck Freestyle that started with Dave Rayner of Morris Connecticut in that beautiful blue dead-side Ford shown. and Dave did exactly what his name suggests and don't think these guys are shy, remember they have to survive tonight and then.Another full event tomorrow, racing and freestyle, now Bobby Sage, has something big planned for later this weekend, but tonight he made some incredible moves hanging it all on that little strip of pavement near the infield where they moved the K rails.

Back to open up this track and really push it to the limit, maybe I wish I had a little more time to hang up, but he says we can expect a lot more from him during Saturday night's competition, of course, Matt Fenwick in the gladiator I keep. Mention and a rough ride here last year didn't make the truck handle much better this year and we'll see what it does over the rest of the weekend. Now consider all the obstacles you are seeing in this. track that was a combined effort of Speedway owner Howard Commander and Ryan Hogan Camp, working with versus monster trucks.

Howard said, spare no expense, do whatever it takes to get a stadium-sized freestyle track behind the front stretch of a straight-line Speedway monster truck. course and they did exactly what you may have noticed there is a backflip ramp which is the 158 local, the operating engineers union that sponsored the backflip ramp to take out that obstacle here on this track and that should come into play later tonight. Of course, right now we continue with freestyle and return to live action. Gary Sabella now in the old Richard 540 powered number six from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, carrying some of the Anderson family legacy here this weekend and it should be an incredible freestyle with With all that power and that light weight , it will be interesting to see what he comes up with by going crazy sending some pieces of paper towards our camera location, they turned it off as he approached the pit wall.

Very wisely on our radio The officers who maintained number one security Danny Barnes and Brian Hogan headed there to check on Gary Sabella who fired again just to make sure there were no serious problems as they had to turn it off as again it was very, very close. to that hole wall and he was sending some pavement flying, there's a little section of asphalt if you come off the play that's here near the hole area and that's right where he was, you can see he comes off the play and goes up to that. wet and dusty pavement at the same time, you can see the pieces flying, they were hitting the building over here, but they got it closed because it almost knocked that thing over.

I think he found the career that Greg Winchabach last left there. year he failed with the depth dug the cage into the pavement now here comes weston anderson on the king swing the anderson family famous for some wild freestyles what does the green machine have for the crowd here in east new york oh man Kicking? the dust here looking for obstacles but not wanting to break the truck just yet as you head towards one of our freestyle pods over there with the Dual Jammers a big launch for the King Sling and a lot of smoke starting to come out of the front brake rotors, check out this ride spot on the very, very impressive mega Weston Anderson, showing he can walk on rice and Canes on the nose, is in the various obstacles scattered around this track that keep Anderson's legacy alive and healthy here in one of the La most of the historic places in all the monster truck competitions abroad, the brake rotors are not only glowing, but the front ones are on fire and it's very appropriate smoke and flames and, uh, little destruction already tonight.

I have a feeling there's more on the cards, but fans absolutely. I love the Anderson family here at West 11, look at the hang time he got in this freestyle, he stayed towards the end of the start line of the track and then of course that awesome Stompy in the moonwalk was turning about him. You wrote it, just leave it there and that's something you've gained in your time behind the wheel of a monster truck, now in the mega, bringing those skills to the front here at the West club, now we're going to the Monster Truck Freestyle competition, right?

Who will do it? take the win here, our eight competitors are getting ready to take to this open track again. The obstacles that have been placed here. Added a small stadium-sized horse. It's very interesting as Corey Rummel opens things up at the range line properly. for the local backflip 158 ramp, the crowd is still dramatized, it's successful wood under the back of that truck, but it doesn't look like it hurt him and now he'll continue with the race starting to unfold on this thing. I'm not sure if it's been seen yet or if it's something else, but there is fluid leaking from this truck right now and it's going to stop it.

He may have noticed it or maybe he is losing oil pressure. I'm not sure what it is. actually coming out of there, but near Cradle we saw some liquid coming out of Corey Rummel, although giving the fans what they came to see on the backflip ramp sets the bar very high at the start of three, so it was a short and The Sweet Race didn't get everything it wanted. You saw Fielder, that fluid came out of there when he landed on the rear axle coming off that backflip. Here comes Chris, now a fan favorite here in the Northeast.

Lumberjack Chris, from Chicopee Massachusetts, drives the big GMC body machine out of the state of Maine and gets inside to take care of some of the big stuff overseas, doing a good job, so far he knows he has a lot of work ahead of him, but he is a great test vehicle for this track because Chris won't rev the truck too much, but he will hit everything that appears in front of wherever the truck is pointed, figure out how to line it up and get something out of it, perfect example, right? there while hitting whatever is in front of him.

The lumberjack looks good here in West Slim, so Wiki was closed and I think it was a piece, which caused them to think it was a Drive Chip, yes it is a piece. of the tube that is part of the body that holds those logs in the back of the truck, I think it's just a piece of PVC, but they may have thought it was a driveshaft or a four-link bar or something else that came out from under that truck as I let him pass, had good hang time, good momentum in the race, nothing to take away from Bristol Wiki, it was a solid race, I don't know if he'll take over, but nothing. to be disappointed that he again wrecked the body just a little, he's going to have some work to do before they get this back out on the court and unfortunately that prompted them to punch Rai's ass, it won't hurt, it won't foul. that again and we'll see what Chris has tomorrow night, now Montana Robbins comes out with some pyrotechnics getting ready to do something right and Lane a big high flyer about to get loose, I already see a hit on those brakes. rotors and that's a problem they've been having all spring and summer.

The developers hung up and it looks like they may unfortunately already be dealing with that issue again, but he won't fix it too much, although they may have Unbound. themselves, oh my gosh, they're weird playing with the big guys and he's doing a good job trying to make up for some mechanical issues he had here last year and he's definitely showing off in front of this crowd, looks like he's going to finish it off well. There, Montana Robbins on Lane, crazy from Lawton's New York, makes the Jensen-driven Eddie Micah chassis machine laugh in the breeze and again the truck has a sound like no other the way they adjusted the fan, it's a vehicle so interesting. to listen, go around the runway, sounds like a plane landing now, scoob coming out at the crush station, that's Zach Richard Buck from Jefferson Maine, trying to hold on a little, there the truck is prone to landing with nose down and throw yourself.

On some slap bullies, we definitely saw that during the previous qualifying session, when he took a hard lick on the front end here, it could actually work in his favor if he can catch the rebound properly and ride a slap wheelie that this truck without doubt is capable of doing. That, as we saw one of their first events last year in the state of Pennsylvania, we're trying to work out the bugs of a fairly new chassis for them and it's moving forward, but it's been a learning curve for sure, Zach is working his way up the front . stretch, do you think he's trying to get this thing to take a ride so he can ride a wheelie on a slab?

It's not quite happening for him yet, he can do it, although he has a good bounce, right there, the rear wheels came off the ground and it hurt his attempt. a little bit, but he's putting his shot in, it looks like Rummel and Sawicki right now are leading the pack as Crystal Wiki's teammate works the track from end to end in front of the crowd here at Lebanon Valley and it looks like Richard Bach will finish the race. Up there a strong race wasn't going to take the lead but he came back to throw a fairly new shot at full time driving but it was an awesome race, anyway we're not done yet although we had the second half of the field on the way when we return with more freestyle action from the Lebanon Valley Speedway, the foreign Valley Speedway, in front of monster trucks, brings you monsters and Megas 22 4 and goes out, another member of the team shouts, this is Chris Kohler in the big dog at the Called Brutus from Columbus, Michigan, Chris has been Very impressive over the last few years behind the wheel of this race.

Source chassis known for getting great hang time and maintaining plenty of momentum. We'll see what he can do here tonight. Overseas, we'll see as he returns. In the center of the track, I think there's more kick on the exit ramp of that obstacle than there is coming back this way, but Kohler runs it in both directions and now takes it for a walk and sniffs it in the dirt. What if Kohler can keep up the pace to stay on spec? It's possible he could take the lead, as he will be judged by the crowd at the end of the night, but Kohler shows him no.He is afraid to accelerate to put on the accelerator. truck on a knife's edge those ukrainians digging this tough job here at Lebanon Valley Speedway and Kohler will finish and race the big dog named Brutus again I said it was Notorious forget a great moment, he definitely had something in this race The truck performs very well in both racing and freestyle again.

This is the racehorse Jesse that this team has. They have two Rumble chassis which are the Fury and the Avenger machine. We'll look at this racehorse chassis a little later and then we'll look at Ax in just a little bit that's in the chassis that Jim Fuller built and speaking of machines that Jim Kohler has been involved in, not in this particular chassis, but in the Crazy Train's first version was actually built by Jim Miller for Bob Robins, as well as one for Aftershock. drugs that Bob owned years ago with an Eddie Micah chassis underneath. Here comes Triton Robbins in Crazy Train, who's been improving his game by leaps and bounds every time we see him on the track for the last three years, writing a gun that's on the Choo choo steering wheel, I mean, so he's got a boost severe.

I think he may be having a problem with the rear steering. I don't know if the self-centering disappeared for a second or if the steering goes where he wants. they had rear steering issues earlier in the year with this truck which they rectified, hopefully they won't raise their hand again, but you can see here, the rear wheels are cocked and he tries to jump over the pile of the bus and he's. I'm going to look at the road and I know he hates the truck crab walking like that. Oh, he won't give up fighting some problems and now it seems like he has lost rear steering almost completely.

You can see the sparks coming off the rear brake rotor when he pulled out. there kind of surrounded by the wall up there, in turn number four, strange now as long as it's straight, it won't matter if you can keep the truck straight down the road, get the rear wheels to stop spinning, you can keep going. go full throttle and get that air that these fans have accustomed us to under the big red train that leaves Lawton's New York and comes all the way to the east side of the state from the west side, it's there near Lake Erie and this family.

It just became a fan favorite in Monster Truck competition for the last 10 years and now the second generation is showing Beyond it down and it looks like it's going to finish the race right there and I know that's not how I wanted do it. to do it, it could have been something as simple as or uh, it could have been the self-centering tube. Anything simple back there there are a lot of little moving parts that control the rear steering, the power steering and if one of them came loose or the solenoid went it could have caused that but it seemed like the rear end was going where it wanted to go.

Unfortunately, it came out so strong. I think the steering issue will end up costing him a win. Joe Foley in Acts, I mentioned it. Before this is the chassis built by Jim Mohler. This is the oldest piece they currently have in this kit, but it's still built like a tank. She's an absolute dynamo on the track and can pull off some incredible freestyle runs, especially with Jill Foley behind the wheel. like Joe has really brought new life back into this team, the wheelies, if we don't try, I think he may have a broken axle, oh, that wheelie over there, let's see, he definitely has a problem on the left, he doesn't care.

I'm going to let Ronald, all these guys, get the green light, as long as they're willing to fix it, they can do whatever they want on the track and Joe's not willing to mix up a broken axle, stop it here in the foreign emergency room of Lebanon Valley where he landed. the line at the moment, but this guy always seems to be on the verge of absolute chaos, he is well under control, the foreigner did not understand what he wanted to get out of the two of the exchange with a big timeout outside that little roller in the center, those tough little truck kickers are sending these guys, a bad fire truck from Michigan driven by a gentleman from Massachusetts going crazy now on the low side of the track where, like I said, Howard Commander Ryan Hogan Camp didn't skimp on Spending time with the Versus Monster Truck team to bring some of the biggest freestyle obstacles this track has ever seen, it almost puts him in his prime, smoking, finishing it all off with a wild donut and an incredible truck-like save.

I don't want to drink much more. Remember you have another show to do after this. There it became evident by the way the left rear axle is broken, hopefully. The exterior will be fixed quickly, but that might be the least of your problems with all the smoke coming out. I think hopefully it's a little warm, but if you risk it all and look at this again on a tire already has a broken left rear, why not remove the right rear? The ax takes us directly to Chief Jim Kohler of Columbus Michigan. Mr. Emotion, one of the wildest of the Old Guard.

The Columbus Michigan Avengers are coming to finish things here up front. from the crowd in New York their first time in these facilities and they have tons of new fans, if you didn't already have them look at the suspension time of the big 57 Bel Air foreigner foreigner foreigner saw that fountain at the top of the show during the party in the pits he just ran over, a foreign scream definitely gave the crowd here at Lebanon Valley Speedway what they came to see what they expect from not only Mr. Thrill but his entire Columbus Michigan team and he's going to Wrap It Up In Style , doing donuts and drifting grooves up the pavement towards the pool and the backflip ramp.

Kohler laid one down and got the fans on their feet, so the question is who will take the win and the freestyle, there have been some good ones. I'll tell you what, even though we go back to the beginning, only one truck hit the big backflip ramp, but to see if that comes into play, when Kohler aired the truck, it was hitting so hard it almost broke the roof in half. see the rivets going down the center of the roof, look at the suspension time and then the immense impact on a tire, step on the gas again, what a race for Kohler and there's Corey Rummel and the rage will take back the freestyle victory, there a look at all our champions here for the first night in Westcliff, congratulations to Triton Robbins for racing one of the monster trucks of course, Weston Anderson collecting megas and the monsters in Mega's general of course, Stu City and Mike Moreau in our tough stock truck and modified championships and of course, Corey Rummel in Rage with the freestyle championship here tonight in Lebanon Valley, New York, we've had an incredible night of action.

Many thanks to the versus monster truck team. See you next time from right here at Lebanon Valley Speedway.
