Garden City Sept. 3rd & 4th

Finney County Fairgrounds in Garden City, Kansas race dates are this Friday and Saturday Sept 3rd and 4th at 7:30pm each night.

Garden City is like a home track for us at Checkered Flag Productions. We have our office in Dodge City and also in Texas but we began this whole thing (CFP) in Scott City, Kansas which is just 35 miles north of Garden City. We have a huge crowd there in Garden City that comes from miles to see these drivers go the extra for the fans.

This year the line-up of stars is awesome. Darren Mingus will be driving the BAD BOY BIGFOOT who is the two time NATIONAL CHAMPION (2009-2010). Darren and his big right foot will be leading the charge in the legendary big blue truck BIGFOOT. Darren has been driving for Team Bigfoot for a couple of months for the usual driver Larry Swim. Swim was injured in a race in California about two months ago and is not released to go racing as of yet. Darren has been driving the BOUNTY HUNTER truck and just now stepped into the BAD BOY. In the last two shows he has stretched Bigfoot’s winnings and his freestyle is awesome! BAD BOY BIGFOOT is relatively the same as the other BIGFOOT’s traveling around but this one seems to have an attitude. Maybe this truck and it’s attitude pushes the drivers to be on the edge with a more aggressive style of driving but one thing about it BIGFOOT has a driver that will push this truck while Swim heals up.

The other trucks on the list are all gunning for BIGFOOT. To beat the man you got to first be the man and here is a list of those that want to step it up and whisk the glory away from BAD BOY.

BARBARIAN:
This truck is probably one of the toughest around. Devin Jones from Oklahoma has beat this thing to death but it just keeps on keeping on. Jones is not afraid. He has those cold gunfighter eyes when he sits behind the wheel and while kind of a quiet guy he is everything but that!
RAZIN KANE
Chris Laguna is from Florida. His business partner J.R. has a few words to tell him before each run and it basically is something like GO FOR IT! That is what they do. Whether it is racing on Freestyle this big Chevy motor is on the rev limiter!
WAR EAGLE
Mike Barnes is probably one of the nicest guys you would ever meet on or off the track. His first experience with monsters was a great looking ride truck. Mike always wanted a race truck and after about 3 years with a ride truck and working night and day he finally had the finances to do what he wanted. His family and friends are all behind him and he has many fans across the US. Watch him stand that thing on the tailgate every run and you will be one also.
AMSOIL SHOCK THERAPY
John Zimmer has been driving this truck and has become legendary already in his young carriers. Zimmer is from the East Coast and he is looking forward to coming back to Kansas where a win he thinks he is owed. Brandon LaGarde from New Orleans owns the truck and by far this is one of the biggest and best independent race teams on the circuit.
EXCALIBUR
This is a legendary name in the monster truck world. Legends are made out of legendary performance and EXCALIBUR has for nearly 20 years been at the top of the monster truck lists of all-time greats. This Chevrolet powered EXCALIBUR has a new style chassis with all the right stuff and who knows it might be time to see this truck seize a win over a long time bitter rival BIGFOOT. The driver of Excalibur has not been revealed yet, supposedly it is a former Bigfoot driver come to steal the thunder from his old employer.
Part of the night will be the Tuff Truck Races and this year we are going to throw a little mud bog in the middle of the track to make it even more interesting. The tuff trucks in Garden City and Western Kansas are entertaining to say the least. Wait till you see these old farm trucks get some big air!

ATV 4 wheeler Quad Races are both nights also and this gives another chance for local drivers and riders to be part of the show.
Free entry fee on Saturday if you run on Friday night for both the Tuff Trucks and the Atv’s this year.

With local racers and all this professional talent this makes Garden City the host of the Largest Motorsports Event in Western Kansas in 2010.
