Wild Night in Montreal! Weenk Wins Racing, Freestyle Decided in 3-Way Cheer-Off!

We have just received an update on the Montreal Monster Jam that took place earlier tonight, and it was a wild one! Three trucks rolled before freestyle, including Tony Farrell’s Blue Thunder during intros. In racing, Maximum Destruction (Tom Meents) rode a side surf that came too far back over, and Jim Koehler’s Avenger also rolled. Racing came down to Linsey Weenk in Iron Outlaw and Jimmy Creten’s Bounty Hunter, with Weenk taking the victory. 

The sometimes-tacky, sometimes-slidy Montreal dirt had less of an effect in freestyle, but plenty of work remains to be done on trucks before their next show. Chris Bergeron in Brutus and Jim Koehler in Avenger each caught huge air during their runs, and each broke a wheel off upon landing, Koehler the right front and Bergeron a rear. Koehler continued and ended up rolling to finish his run. Andy Slifko took a liking to Hot Wheels and made the adjustment nicely, getting several solid hits in. Anderson rolled Grave Digger about halfway through his run. Meents took Maximum Destruction through its paces and earned a three way tie for the win with Charlie Pauken (Taz) and Creten, who had a standing start power wheelie included in his run. Meents took the victory by crowd cheer-off.

We thank our contributors for the update and photos from the event will be on the way soon!
