After another set of Monster Truck racing runs, it was time again for the quads to do their thing. This time Tim Farr came out with Kory Ellis and Skylar Stewart. They also had a band of quads that were trying to make a move into the ranks. As this heat started Tim Farr took the lead and Ellis fell in behind Tim, but he never challenged for the lead. Tim ran basically the same line that John had run in the previous heat and kept extending his lead throughout the entire race. Skylar was behind Ellis and was slowly coming up on him as they crossed the finish line. Tim pulled out the heat win. That gave him and John pick at the line for the feature moto. Once again the Monster Trucks came out demolished mostly everything inside the stadium. Maximum Destruction won the Monster Truck race by beating the Grave Digger. After they were finished, the Mini-Quads came out and ran their feature race. During the race, Number 250 led the entire time. They avoided the big double, but did everything else. Some of the kids actually did extremely well, and they all put on quite a show. Now it was time for the Feature Moto of the night for the Pros.

As they lined up John was on the inside, with Tim right next to him. Outside of Tim was Keith, then Kory, and then Skylar. After the start, John came up with the holeshot and began to pull ahead. Keith was in behind John and Kory managed to slip in ahead of Tim. Skylar was behind Tim followed by the rest of the pack. After the first lap, Tim pulled up and then passed Ellis. He worked his way up to Keith over the next lap. During this, John maintained his pace and widened the gap between him and Keith. Skylar also moved up to challenge Ellis for fourth. Throughout the rest of the moto, Tim fought tooth and nail to get around Keith, but he never managed to get the hole that would allow him to come up with the pass. Also, Skylar moved in on Ellis and finally did manage to pass him to take fourth place. John held onto his commanding lead throughout the entire race. They managed to work their way all the way through so that they were actually lapping almost all of the other racers. As they crossed the finish line, John was far out front. Keith came in second with Tim right there fighting for position. Skylar held onto the fourth place spot and was followed by Ellis in fifth.

After all of the racing was over they held the trophy ceremony for the riders and then gave John his check for five thousand dollars for winning the Stadium Series Championship. John ended up after that race winning the championship, and also winning four out of the five Stadium races. After the Speed channel got all of the interviews that it needed, it was time to let the Monster Trucks tear things up in freestyle. Maximum Destruction came out next to last and put on an amazing show. Shortly through the first few jumps he managed to tear off his left rear wheel and tire, but that didn’t stop him. He still did all of the jumps that the other trucks had been doing and did everything that the quads had been doing also. Remember kids, he did all of this while only having three wheels. Last to come out was Dennis Anderson and Grave Digger. Dennis put Grave Digger to the floor and flew over all of the jumps. He hit the big double so hard that his hood flew off while he was in mid air. His brakes overheated and sparks were flying through half of his run, but he still made it look easy. In the end though, the judges felt that Maximum Destruction put on a more impressive show. He managed to go two for two on the night in the Monster Truck events. All in all this was a great track for the quads and a really fun night for the family. If you get a chance check it out next year.
