Competing in the first ever monster truck event in Israel, the blue CSK team swept racing and freestyle in 2 separate performances. "We had a great time in Tel Aviv. Both [crew chief] Darren and I were a little apprehensive about the trip but were pleasantly surprised with the people and atmosphere" explained Creten.
An estimated 41,000
brand new monster truck fans took in the action at Ramat Gann Stadium.
"We're looking forward to doing more overseas events with Edge Motorsports
and possibly even some of the Monster Jam Europe tour" commented team
manager Brian Manson. The truck was placed back in its sea container and
will arrive back in the states later this month.
The San Diego County
Fair kicked off a huge west coast tour for the CSK trucks. With 8 stops in
California, and another eight spread throughout Washington, Oregon,
Montana, Minnesota and Idaho the team is looking forward to getting more
exposure for their primary sponsor Checker Schuck's and Kragen Auto Parts.

Motorsports Update!!: In front of an ecstatic crowd on
the final day of the 2007 Monster Spectacular Canadian tour, Jimmy Creten
locked up another title. The former World Freestyle Champion was named the
winningest driver during the tour. Jimmy certainly lived up to the
accolade as he roared to both racing and wheelie contest wins during the
weekend. "It all started on the east coast of Canada", said Creten of the
tour's beginning. "Now here in Victoria, we are as far west as we can go".
Creten went on to salute other driver's level of competition such as
veteran Don Frankish and team mate Linsey Weenk in Iron Outlaw and the fan
support as the keys to his championship tour run. The Eliminator Monster Truck!!: Monster truck veteran Greg Adams has completed work on his brand new monster truck, the Eliminator!! The "salute to the military"-themed Eliminator body debuted in Lafeyette, LA back in March, running on the new Annihilator chassis that Greg first brought out at SEMA last year. A brand new chassis for the Eliminator body has now been completed--the new chassis is nearly identical to the Annihilator, with a few minor design changes. Much of the work on the new chassis was done by Greg's son Zach.
After some time off, Greg Adams will be back out on tour in a big way this summer, with a whirl-wind ten city tour from Canada to the midwest to out east in the matter of less than a month kicking off in mid-July!! The Eliminator will be seen running for Airtime Motorsports, Paul Shafer Motorsports, AMP Live Events, Outlaw Monster Trucks, APME, and Performance Motorsports on the upcoming tour.

This
is the second batch of toys based on the popular children's cartoon, which
has also just received the "Parents Choice Foundation" Approval. "The
crashing, crushing and smashing may appear antithetical to the positive
messages presented, but the animated trucks stay on course as they
navigate the potholes on the road to growing up. Telling the truth, being
a good friend, and keeping promises are among the lessons learned," states
the Parents Choice Foundation endorsement of "BIGFOOT Presents: Meteor and
the Mighty Monster Trucks". The three new toys, BIGFOOT, Concrete
Pete, and Sarge are now available at
racing,
debuting with his Road Rage monster truck only a couple years ago.
Beginning this year, Devin debuted the all new Barbarian, a brand new
truck built completely in house by Devin and his father Mark. The team has
taken the tour by storm this year, quickly becoming one of the top
competitors on the circuit. Be sure to check out the newly completed
Kaboom Motorsports Monster Truck Racing website at
