Garden City on Labor Day with Bigfoot!

Finney County Fairgrounds in Garden City, Kansas race date is Friday and Saturday Sept 3rd and 4th.

Garden City is kinda like a home track for us at CFP. 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 their in Garden City everytime and the drivers go the extra for the fans.

This year the line-up of stars is awesome. Larry Swim the CFP NATIONAL CHAMPION (2009-2010) will be leading the charge in the legendary big blue truck BIGFOOT. Larry has been driving for Team Bigfoot for a couple of years and in the last two he has strecthed Bigfoot’s winnings and his freestyle is awesome! BAD BOY BIGFOOT is realitively the same as the other BIGFOOT’s traveling around but this one seems to have an attitude. Maybe it is Larry and his on the edge style driving but one thing about it Bob Trent the VP of BIGFOOT has himself a driver in his stable.

The other trucks on the list are all gunning for BIGFOOT. To beat the man you gotta first be the man and here is a list of those that want to step it up and whisk the glory away from Swim in BAD BOY.
BARBARIAN:
This truck is probably one of the tuffest 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 wil be one also.
AMSOIL SHOCK THERAPY
John Zimmer or Carl Horn have been driving this truck and they are both legendary already in their 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 LeGarde from New Orleans owns the trucks and by far this is one of the biggest and best independant 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 Chevorolet powered EXCALIBUR has a newstyle 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.

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 til you see these old farm trucks get some big air!

ATV 4 wheeler Quad Racs are both nights also and this give 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.

Ticket info is coming soon along with more news but one thing for sure this is the place to spend a Labor Day Weekend in Kansas!

North Platte the Bad Boy is coming!

North Platte, Nebraska get ready!!

The Monsters are coming 7:30pm Saturday night August 21st.

The heartland of the United States is full of hard working people who like their trucks, and most seem to like Ford’s best.

We got a Ford coming – the KING OF THE MONSTER TRUCKS the one and only BIGFOOT! BIGFOOT has 4 touring race trucks and the winner of the National Championships in 2009 and 2010. The race driver is Larry Swim and he is known for his talent for driving and his courage in freestyle car crushing action. Swim has never been in the North Platte area before and this will be a first for BIGFOOT also.

Joining the night of Champions is BOUNTY HUNTER. Jimmy Creten from Kansas won the World Finals in Las Vegas a couple of years ago and he is known for his mega horsepower. Also BARBARIAN’s driver Devin Jones from Oklahoma is one tough cookie in this business. Nothing scares him and no jump is too tall for him to hit wide open. RAZIN KANE Chris Laguna is from Florida. Chis is just as apt to tear off his tail gate because he is out to make a name for himself. WAR EAGLE is from Atlanta and this will be his first time also in North Platte and again another guy making a name for himself. Watch Mike Barnes- this guy is nothing but nice and personable, but he knows one way and that is WIDE OPEN!

Local riders with their ATV Quad 4 wheelers are always entertaining and also they have a blast racing in front of the huge crowd. Also local hot rodders can race their street truck or Jeep type vehicles in the Tuff Truck Races. Racing one at a time over an obstacle course against the stop watch racing for trophies and cash and the cheers from their friends and family.

Tickets will be on sale soon and we will have more information on where to purchase and the prices for this huge event at the Wild West Arena in North Platte, Nebraksa.

WOODWARD here we come!

We are ready for the Summer Nationals in Woodward!

Woodward, Oklahoma spent a ton of money at the Crystal Beach Stadium. Over a million dollars they put into this facility to make it worthy of big shows and now The BAD BOYS are going to tear it up on Saturday night August 7th. One thing you can be sure of is that we are bringing the best of the best by Teaming up with MEGA PROMOTIONS this will be a good move and the people from Woodward and Northwest Oklahoma are in for the biggest event to come to the area in a long time!

We have a line-up of trucks that cannot be matched ever before in this area! Check out these names including former World Champion the BOUNTY HUNTER plus WAR EAGLE – RAZIN KANE and BARBARIAN and special guest Larry Quick driving the mustang called GHOST RYDER!

Larry Quick has quickly made a name for himself as he is the only monster truck in the World that has sucessfully week in and week out completed a back flip with full rotation while driving a MONSTER TRUCK! Quick an accomplished racer and free style driver is rated as one of the top in the nation and that was not good enough and that is why he is now the KING OF THE BACK FLIPS!

Just wait till you see this truck some 40 feet in the air completely rotate and hopefully land on the wheels and he drives away……..but it could go all wrong …….nothing in this stunt is calutated by NASA this is a huge 10 thousand pound monster truck with his own home built chassis and a big motor being operated by a guy with that knows how to stand on the gas and fears nothing. I cannot wait to be in Woodward on August 7th to see this wildest of the wild!

Atv 4 wheelers are racing also on a smooth type TT scrambles track with jumps and some fast corners and there is a class for you to race in. Bring your 4 wheeler and helmet and other safety gear and sign up and then you are part of this huge event.

Another way to join the show and be a star is competing in the tough truck competition where you will drive over an obstacle course while racing against the stop watch – anyone with a valid drivers license can enter. Just bring your car, pickup, or sand buggy to the rear entrance of the arena and sign up before 6pm the day of the show. Do not forget to bring a helmet along with you and come have some fun while competiing against other drivers in their vehicles in front of that huge crowd.

Demo Derby in Billings Canceled

Most of you know about the horrific tornado that hit the METRA’s RIM ROCK AUTO ARENA in Billings. Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark was decimated during a tornado that affected Billings, Montana at about 4:30 PM on Sunday, June 20th, 2010.

We were scheduled to put on a demo derby during the METRA FAIR on Saturday August 14th. That event has been canceled due to other events that have to use the grandstand which leaves us with no facility to do our demo derby.

The 2010 Grand National Championships are in the books!

Pocatello, ID – Saturday night, April 17, the stars were out and the gloves came off in the final event for Checkered Flag Productions’ 2010 Grand National Championship.  With 5 drivers contending for the tour championship the stakes were high as was the excitement level.  A sold out crowd of 11,800 saw one of the most electric shows in Checkered Flag Productions history, and one of the greatest motorsporting events ever in the state of Idaho.

To go along with the championship event itself, Checkered Flag Productions teamed up with the local Make A Wish Foundation to put together 2 Wish Events in 2 days as well.  Mitchell Taylor, 4 years old, from Pocatello, had a pizza party at his home with family, friends and the Bigfoot Bad Boy monster truck and driver Larry Swim on Thursday, April 15.  Jackson Koger, 5, also from Pocatello came to the ISU Holt Arena on Friday, April 16, for a meet and greet with the Bounty Hunter monster truck and driver Darren Migues.  Jackson was also treated to the ride of a lifetime when he got to ride around the parking lot with Darren in the Bounty Hunter.

On Saturday however, the pre-event festivities were done and a strictly business atmosphere fell on the ISU Holt Arena and all of the drivers in attendance.  The track was worked and prepared for 2 long and grueling days and was looking great and ready for action.  Following a very well attended, 2-hour Pit Party featuring an autograph session with all of the drivers and stuntman The Crusher, 2 monster ride trucks, and our own Miss Monster Truck Girls: Amber Ale and Luana Lynn – the floor was cleared to prepare for the opening ceremony and the National Anthem which was sung by 4 man quartet Sound Scape – who gave a rousing performance.

The first event on tap for the evening was the Wheelie Contest which also served as qualifying for the racing match up.  Each truck took to the floor one at a time, for 1 wheelie attempt which was scored by 6 judges on a 1-10 scale.  Several trucks came out and had great wheelies and slap wheelies, including Idaho’s own BJ Johnson who had a terrific slap wheelie in Jurassic Attack for a score of 48 which tied for 2nd with Bigfoot Bad Boy.  Donald Epidendio the driver of California Kid managed to “walk” his truck across the floor on the back tires for a 44 and 4th place finish, but none of these wheelies were enough to get the win.  In what might be referenced as a backflip attempt, Bill Payne in Rock Star came out and took on the van stack sideways and launched the truck upwards and sideways coming down on the truck’s side and eventually rolling over.  The judges scored it a 58 out of 60 and no other effort could match that performance.

Final Wheelie Standings:

Rock Star – 58
Bigfoot Bad Boy – 48 (won tiebreaker)
Jurassic Attack – 48
California Kid – 44
Equalizer – 40
Bounty Hunter 38
Maniac – 30
Hot Tamale – 24
Barbarian – 20

Up next for the night’s event was Monster Truck racing.  8 trucks went to battle on a “Chicago Style” oval racing course that spanned the entire floor and allowed the trucks to use their big power.  Larry Swim and the Bigfoot Bad Boy had a surprising loss in round 1 against Devin Jones Barbarian, but came through the double elimination style event to end up in the final round against Darren Migues and Bounty Hunter.  The trucks lined up on opposite sides of the arena and mashed the gas when the light turned green.  The two trucks ran neck and neck for the entire race, but Swim managed to edge out Migues and Bigfoot took home the racing title.  Migues took 2nd in racing, Jones’ Barbarian took 3rd and Isaiah Morales’ Hot Tamale took 4th in racing. Coming in 5th was Mike Hawkins Equalizer, with Jurassic Attack in 6th, Rock Star in 7th, and California Kid in 8th.

Following some quick track prep it was time for the crowd favorite Freestyle event.  Don Frankish in Maniac and Isaiah Morales in Hot Tamale were the first two trucks on the floor.  Frankish filled 90 seconds with a fast paced run and some nice air, and Morales got some big air over the school bus double, much to the crowds delight.  Bounty Hunter came out in the 3rd spot, and ran for over 3 minutes with some monster air over the school bus double, as well as some nice donuts and big air off the car and van stacks.  Migues was rewarded by the judges with a score of 58, one that would be tough to beat.

After performances from California Kid, Equalizer and Barbarian the spot light fell on Bill Payne and Rock Star.  While Payne had a short run, he had the most electric moments of the night including a huge jump which caused the truck to roll over and land on all 4 wheels, which was then followed by yet another backflip attempt in between the school buses.  The crowd went absolutely crazy and Payne was rewarded with a perfect 60 by the judges.  That put him in first and left only 2 trucks to run.

The next truck on the floor was Larry Swim and the Bigfoot Bad Boy, Swim came out with strong momentum and big air including a huge jump over the school buses, but as he was flooring it over one of the racing lanes the truck shut down.  The problem was diagnosed as a blown engine and Swim’s run was over early resulting in a low score.  Last onto the floor was local hot shoe BJ Johnson who piloted Jurassic Attack to a strong 90 second run that included some nice air and another well executed slap wheelie.  The run was not enough to knock Payne out of the top spot however, and Bill Payne was declared the freestyle winner.

Final Freestyle Standings:

Rock Star – 60
Bounty Hunter – 57
Barbarian – 56
Hot Tamale – 54
Equalizer – 50
California Kid – 41
Jurassic Attack – 39
Maniac – 36
Bigfoot Bad Boy – 29

After some points calculating and tallying, the Tour Championship ceremony was ready.  Bringing home 5th place, was Darren Migues in Bounty Hunter.  In 4th was Hot Tamale driven by Isaiah Morales.  3rd place was taken by Devin Jones and Barbarian.  Then it came down to the final 2.  Despite his strong showing in wheelie and freestyle, Bill Payne did not score enough points to jump over Larry Swim and Bigfoot.  For the 2nd year in a row Rock Star was the runner-up to Grand National Champion “Leadfoot” Larry Swim and the Bigfoot Bad Boy.  Larry’s strong lead going into Pocatello, and his win in racing clinched his 2nd straight title.

Congratulations to Team Bigfoot and to Larry Swim on another outstanding season. Swim managed to win nearly 50% of the events he entered, and his strong domination of racing allowed him to lock up another championship. With an unprecedented back-to-back championship effort, we can only imagine what Swim and Bigfoot will have cooked up for the next Winter Nationals tour!
