Expecially to see 'off road' trucks racing on asphalt. There is not enough parking, and it is in a rough neighborhood. Playing to an empty stadium is sure disaster for any show. But we are seeing how 'big' off roading is right now in it's natural state. With that said, Robby was on the right track at the Long Beach Grand Prix as an opening act. They will pay extras to be audiences, or just book the new act with a sure crowd draw.

Hollywood gives out free tickets all of the time. If it doesn't grow from an organic need, then it will eventually fail. i mean a chit load of empty seats.i've seen more people at the cif high school football playoff games or at sdsu games even when they sucked. for me, watching great racing with a back drop of empty seats was a bit depressing.

i wish him all the best but if seats dont fill up then it's going to be difficult to sustain unless the tv ratings save his ass. you can't make it selling 25 dollar t shirts and hats. this whole thing will depend on the tv deal and if no one shows up, then it won't matter how good the racing is playing to an empty house.

he needs more big time recognizable drivers that people can actually cheer for because at least they know who they are.

but when the show only draws 12 or 15k fans tops in the hub of offroad racing here in san diego where a lot of the drivers are familiar with the fans, what's going to happen when he takes the show back further east where pavement racers are the only show in town and wouldn't know lalo laguna or many of the other racers other than rg or maybe rob mac from adam? selling this racing to pavement racers watching the thing in an empty house on tv is going to be harder than you think. After each show we have autograph sessions…it’s always a fun night at Monster Jam.Was the racing good? you bet your ass it was. What makes Monster Jam so unique, Van Horn added, is that the drivers are so accessible. “If you like motorsports, you’ll love monster trucks,” Van Horn said.

Van Horn said that there’s never a dull moment during Monster Jam, which is often filled with roll-overs and wild crashes. When you do get big air, huge air like that, you gotta be worried about the landing,” Van Horn said. “The higher you go, the more G-Force’s going to affect your spine and your neck and everything. “You’re already sitting up so high, so if you really do get some big air you’re like, ‘Holy Cow that was amazing.’” “When you first start jumping obstacles in a truck, and a lot of new drivers get this, this feeling that they just jumped 10 feet in the air and they look back at the video and they realize they jumped 3 (feet). “When you get those two in-sync, the rear with the front, that takes a little bit of seat time, but once you do that, it’s all about fun, then,” he said. Controlling the steering is all about the timing, he explained. The front wheels are controlled by the steering wheel, the rear wheels are controlled by a switch.

The trucks have front and rear wheel steering because the wheels are so big and don’t turn very sharp. Van Horn admits driving the truck was difficult at first. “I guess it all paid off when I got to the monster truck it all fell together.” I got some seat time in different vehicles, but never in a monster truck,” Van Horn said. “But…I had a lot of friends…that had different things like quads, I actually had a little go kart…so I got to be around stuff like that. “I didn’t drive monster trucks,” he said. What makes the feat that much more impressive is that Van Horn had never before driven a monster truck. (I) didn’t expect it, but really I had a good day that day.” “I actually got the job out of it,” Van Horn said. Grave Digger is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year during Monster Jam. He and four other crew members went out into the field and were asked to perform maneuvers such as jumps, wheelies and to show control over the vehicle. While Van Horn was serving as crew chief to Grave Digger, he tried out to become one of the truck’s drivers.
