Past Present Racing League: THE MONSTER
BLOG is proud to announce that we have become the title sponsor of David
Collard's Past Present Racing League. The PPRL is a very unique
online racing league for Monster Truck Madness 2, in that it promises to
be the most challenging series ever to exist. Not only will THE
MONSTER BLOG sponsor the overall series title and the series itself, but I
plan on competing in the series running the Devastator (by Slickster)
Chevy Silverado in the Monster Jam and Circuit portions of the
Championship, and running the classic Krimson Krusher (by Rep Fan) in the Old School
portion of the series. I'm a big green rookie, but the series promises to
be a blast and I encourage you all to go check out the PPRL's website by
clicking on the image below!! (9/13/05)

Fantasy MT Series: As many of you have
noticed, the "MT Series" button at the top navigation bar has not yet been
functional. Well, you may now notice that the button is gone, and
has been replaced by one called "Fantasy." THE MONSTER BLOG is proud
to announce that we are starting the first Monster Truck Racing Fantasy
game of its kind, THE MONSTER BLOG Fantasy MT Series. The FMTS will
begin later this year, and for those familiar with Yahoo! Fantasy Auto
Racing, you will have an idea how the game will work. Stay tuned for
more details, the FMTS section is coming soon!! (9/13/05)

Picture of the Week: Decided to try
something new with all the awesome submissions that have been coming in.
Each week I will select the best picture from the Fan Photo Gallery as the
Picture of the week, featured here on the main page. This week's
winner is Kyle Carr for this awesome shot of Rap Attack at the Monster Jam
Summer Heat event in Owego, NY. Kyle had so many great pictures, it
was tough to choose just one, but you can see the rest in the Fan Photo
Gallery!! Submit your pictures to the Fan Photo Gallery and one of
your shots could be chosen as the next Picture of the Week!! We'll
even do a picture of the month vote between the winners of each weeks or
something along those lines, I think would be pretty cool. Maybe
we'll even come up with a prize for the person winning Picture of the
Year, stay tuned!! (9/10/05) UPDATE: The Picture
of the Week now has its own section, which you can access above.
This section gives guidelines on submitting your photos, and rules for the
contest!! You can also see the pictures that have been submitted so
far this week!! (8/13/05)

sent me some great video from a really neat tough truck event in
Shartlesville, and after I saw it, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity
to post it for you all. I know its not monster trucks, but hey,
tough trucks are great and THE MONSTER BLOG is a big supporter of the
tough truck shows and of tough truck drivers like Romie Marquart, the Wild
Thing from I-70, and even Charlie Wagner himself who says he's gonna run
some Monster Blog logos on his truck next year!! Watch for Charlie
in the video, he's driving the black pickup truck, and don't miss the
exciting finish!! (9/4/05)

make a strong comeback, with my father Lauren Z. Bonar back at it, posting
sports memorabilia on Yahoo! Auctions, and the coming launch of the LZ's
Sports Source & Collectibles Online Store toward the end of the year,

date, but for now, be sure to check out Dad's online auctions for some
great sports memorabilia!! (9/4/05)
