The Best Day Ever



Thank you, Tom Meents. You, sir, are a total badass.

While I'm sorry to say that my son is more of a Grave Digger fan, you are personally responsible for making my daughter breathlessly exclaim that this was the best day of her whole life. And for that I am eternally grateful. She'd never been to a Monster Truck event before, but now she's hooked, thanks mostly to you. You were simply amazing.

I watched tonight as you repeatedly punished your left front tire (purposefully, I suspect) until it became flat and ultimately ripped from its wheel. When you continued to aggressively execute jumps on only three wheels before finally plowing into the retaining wall to close the show, you gave all of us fans not only our money's worth but a memory that will last forever.

Congratulations on your victory. Maximum Destruction, indeed.

Your fan,

scalpel

Sounds like you all had quite a bit of fun! I have only been to drag races and stock car.

We were dating the 1st time my husband took me to a stock car race and I was dressed casually. I had no idea how gritty and dirty my hair and face, etc would get just from watching the race. LOL!

Tag...your it Scalpel! Hope you don't mind and hope you come out to play if you can. :)
