EVENT NOTES
Spectrum Center came to life Friday night as the crowds poured in. True to form, EarthShaker’s Tristan England brought home yet another Racing and 2-Wheel Skills win, much to the delight of his fans. Max-D continued his winning streak, and is still undefeated in ATV Racing. Continuing with that momentum, Max-D’s Blake Granger also was victorious in Monster Jam Donuts, while Alien Invasion took home his second win of the season in the Speedster Obstacle Course. With the points neck and neck, it all came down to Freestyle. El Toro Loco closed the show with an impressive Freestyle run, but it was ultimately Max-D who emerged the Overall Event Champion. With this second overall win, this puts Max-D within one point of EarthShaker for overall Series Points!
