PROMT  Racing
Nazareth Speedway,
Nazareth, PA
Racing Saturday
Truxpo Truck TourProfessional Monster Trucks

 
Saturday evening saw the stands full up in front of the Monster Truck & Tough truck course.
With the earlier qualifying determining which trucks would go up against each other, the Monster Truck drivers would push their trucks to the limits, to try & make it through to the next round to increase their points, in theProMT points standings.
With lots of clouds in the sky & the chance of rain, the sun would occasionally appear from behind the clouds to light up the track.

The first race which was Race #4 in the ProMT Truxpo Truck Tour would see Dan Runte in BIGFOOT up against Andy Slifko in Eradicator.  The Eradicator truck was actually the lightest truck of all the Monster Trucks, racing that weekend.
Slifko had a good start beating BIGFOOT off the lights, but underpowered, BIGFOOT took the win.

Next up was Sudden Impact against Virginia Giant.  John Seasock had a good start in Sudden Impact & even though Virginia Giant ran a hard race, he was unable to catch up & Sudden Impact took the win. Virginia Giant's time did put him through to the second round as the 2nd fastest loser.

Both Tim & Mark Hall would go up against each other in the Executioner & Tropical Thunder trucks. Unfourtnatly Tropical Thunder was having mechanical problems & was unable to race. This gave Executioner an easy pass, putting him through to the next round.

Next was Randy Brown in Pure Adrenalin, who had only just got his MTRA Class A licence, making this his first ProMT points race. He would go up against Steve Macklyn in Nitro Fish. Steve had problems with the truck & didn't make it to the start line in time, but Tim Hall had managed to get Tropical Thunder working, so went up against him instead. Rookie driver Randy Brown, showed his driving skills in Pure Adrenalin & took the win.

Next up was Samson & Equalizer. Dan Patrick in Samson, who went into Nazareth in the lead position in the points standings, so wanted to do well to keep his position. In a close race Samson took the win. Equalizer had the fastest losing time, making him the 1st round fastest loser.

    The last 2nd round heat saw Eric Tack in Tonka go up against the 1st round fastest loser, David Morris in Equalizer. Tonka sped to victory, taking the win against Equalizer, who seemed to have a slow run in that race.

    Semi Final action saw BIGFOOT & Executioner go up against each other. In a close race BIGFOOT took the win, beating Executioner by 0.097 seconds. At the end of the course a loud bang from Executioners engine, would see the Hall brothers having to relpace the engine during the night.
    The other Semi Final race saw Samson & Tonka go head to head. In another close race, Samson had a good start & left the line first, but got some big air, which slowed him down, giving Tonka the win.

    The Finals would come down to the two Team BIGFOOT trucks, of Dan Runte in BIGFOOT & team mate Eric Tack in the Tonka BIGFOOT. With the sun suddenly dissappearing behind the clouds, the first Finals of the weekend would be a grey one.

    This race which would give Eric Tack a chance to upset the points series, & move him up from 3rd place to 1st, it was also a chance for Dan Runte in BIGFOOT to move from 2nd place to 1st place. With that in mind, both drivers ran hard, but Eric Tack in Tonka had the faster reaction time off the lights & managed to take the win over BIGFOOT by 0.061 seconds.
