(Pontiac, MI) The Truk Wurks Off Road team came into Pontiac looking to put both the Bars Leaks Eliminator and Rislone Defender deep into the racing brackets and bring the fans to their feet with stellar freestyle performances.

Greg and Zach would have a difficult task at hand facing some of the top teams in the country including Hall Brothers Racing, 2Extreme Racing and two time Monster Nationals Racing Champion Tailgator. “We knew how difficult it would be to advance through the brackets in racing right from the start,” said Bars Leaks Eliminator Driver Greg Adams. “There are a lot of past champions and drivers with a lot of experience here, but we’re not going to back down from anyone.”

Unfortunately, Zach Adams and the Rislone Defender would lose a starter on the line of his first race and would not be able to continue until freestyle. “It was a really tough break, we had just put in a new starter right before the show,” said Rislone Defender Driver Zach Adams.

With the Rislone Defender out of the racing bracket for the night, the Bars Leaks Eliminator and Greg Adams were left with the pressure of carrying the Truk Wurks name through the brackets in Pontiac. The Bars Leaks Eliminator would handily defeat Shell Camino and take out 3-time Thunder Nationals Champion Diehl Wilson in Virginia Giant. The first two wins would pit Adams against Doug Neolke in Tail Gator in the semi-finals. Noelke and the Tailgator would prove to be just a bit too much as the Gator edged off Adams in the Bars Leaks Eliminator to advance to the finals.

Greg Adams catches some air at the Silverdome.

Freestyle kicked off with Zach Adams in the Rislone Defender pulling one of the highlight moves of the night with a huge slap wheelie across the floor of the Silverdome. “I felt the truck start to bounce back and forth, that’s when I knew I should probably set her down!” said Adams. Greg Adams also put down a stellar run for the thousands of fans in attendance. Adams piloted the Bars Leaks Eliminator to huge air and plenty of momentum.

Huge wheelie for Zach Adams in the Rislone Defender.

Hall Brothers Racing is proud to announce that MTRA Rookie of the year candidate Mat Dishman will take over the seat in the team’s Rammunition monster truck. “Mat has earned this chance—he started with us while he was in high school cleaning parts and running errands for us after school. He has worked his way up and knows these trucks inside out” said team co-owner Tim Hall. “I know Mat is excited, and I think I can teach him a few things to help him become a championship contender. I know he has a good truck under him—that RAM is a winner!” added Mark Hall.

The move was made to accommodate long time driver Geremie Dishman who is leaving to spend more time at home. “Geremie’s daughter Hope is growing up fast, and Geremie wanted to be home more to have more time with her. Who could question that? We wish him all the best. He will still be involved with us from time to time” said Tim Hall.

“We have had a lot of people ask about who will drive our other race truck” added Mark Hall. “Quite frankly, we are flattered that so many people are interested in what we are going to do. We are currently talking to our sponsors and exploring all opportunities, and we will make a announcement regarding that truck at an appropriate time.”

BIGFOOT 4×4 Ltd (BIGFOOT Europe) is delighted to announce that is ready to ship the first two chassis they have ever built for a US customer!

BIGFOOT 4×4 Ltd has built or worked on monster truck chassis of almost every UK based monster truck team, but we are delighted to be the first European monster truck chassis manufacturer to ship chassis back to the birth place of monster trucks, the USA.

And how much better can it get, than to be supplying chassis for The Original Monster Truck®, the company that started it all, BIGFOOT 4X4, INC?

The two chassis have been built to a design, which is a modified version of Mr Bob Chandler’s original design. This design has to be acknowledged as one of, if not the, best chassis in the industry; after all, this is the chassis that flew 202 feet and drove away!!

BIGFOOT 4×4 Ltd would like to thank BIGFOOT 4X4, Inc for the faith shown in our fabrication department, and for the chance to “give a little back” to the team who gave us our shot at running a truck bearing the BIGGEST NAME in Monster Trucks.

(Bainbridge, IN) The Truk Wurks Off Road monster truck team has announced that their Bar’s Leaks Eliminator and Rislone Defender monster trucks, along with the father/son driving team of  Greg  and Zach Adams will be appearing this weekend on Spike TV’s “Powerblock” program! 

 “We had a great time filming the Powerblock segment,” said Eliminator driver Greg Adams.  “We’ve been running hard this year, and definitely tearing up our share of parts, so it was a nice break to be able to hang out and keep the trucks shiny and clean!” he said with a laugh.

 Greg’s son Zach, was equally excited:  “Whenever we are home or at a hotel, we definitely tune in to SpikeTV’s Powerblock.”  He added that “It definitely was an honor to be invited to appear on the show, to represent both our team and our sponsors.  We’ve worked hard over the last couple of years to get our team where it needs to be, and a gig like this definitely tells me we’ve been doing something right.”

 Needless to say, the team was excited when the request to appear on the hit automotive series, one of the most popular features on the Spike TV channel.  “There have been some amazing motorsports and automotive vehicles and personalities featured on Powerblock in the past,” said Greg Adams.  “Not many monster trucks have been invited to grace the studios there, so for us and the industry this is a pretty big honor.  We’re definitely excited to be bringing our Bar’s Leaks and Rislone monsters to show off to the world!”

 The folks at Powerblock are pretty excited too it would seem, evidence of this being their recent post on the Powerblock Blog: http://powerblocktv.com/blog .  Fans can check their local listings to find airtimes for Powerblock featuring the Truk Wurks monsters.  The episode featuring the trucks will air this Saturday and Sunday, May 15^th & 16^th.
