Pit Bull Monster Truck Racing - We Bark…And Bite!!!! - Official Site

We had a great weekend running in Phoenix! We saw many old fans and hopefully made some new ones! The truck ran good on our new motor, “thanks to Paul at Performance Plus Engines”, and we madi it through racing with a tough draw! We qualified against bounty Hunter, then round one against Charles’ favorite driver Pablo in Digger. Ouch… tough racing bracket!

Freestyle was intense as these were some tremendous obstacles. We got off to a good start, then on a big hit, a steereing relief valve literally broke in two! Charles kept going on just rear steering alone as long as he could, cross threading jumps and almost rolling off a van stack, it was cool! Finally, without steering he sideswiped it into the bus stack and crushed in the front end! 4 link bars… steering… there was all kinds of damage and the fans loved it! We filled the clock and still had a good time even without front steering!

Team Pit-Bull really likes Phoenix, and we cant wait to get back soon!

We ran in Wichita last weekend, and it kicked our tails…. Friday night was of to a great start, and we were having fun. The wheelies were great. Racing was going going good, we even made it to the final round vs Bounty Hunter, then it got weird!

It was as if our motor was experiencing some kind of friction or dragging. it began to act really funny during the doughnut competition, then died…..?  We could not get it to re-fire for the freestyle competition.

On Saturday morning, we got there bright and early so Josh and I could go through it all. We figured that the batteries had some type of freak failure so we replaced them with two new ones. We still had hard turnovers, so we replaced the starter too. We now felt like we were ready!

When the Saturday show started, we were again off to a good start, but during the second round of racing, our engine seized! This was it…. Our problem had been a major bearing failure in the bottom of the motor just getting worse until it locked up! We were now done for the weekend!

On Sunday, Charles was asked to stay around to help announce the show, and to do commentary. He really enjoyed this and had a good time working with Larry Naston. Announcing fits Charles like a glove!

Sunday night/ Monday morning we are headed back home to put it back together for next week in San Diego for TV!

We would like to say hi and thanks to a few folks in Wichita-

Michelle from the Sleep Inn- For being such a friendly host and running a very nice hotel + great staff!

Joe from Advanced Auto Parts- For helping us get our batteries and everything else we needed!

A great medical staff on hand, and a great staff to help run the shows!

And definitely, the great town of Wichita for making us feel so welcome again! We will be back to pound on that concrete floor again!
