Grave Digger Struttin' His Stuff

So Grave Digger is the truck that always wins, and the driver is always praised as being amazing, even if he drives poorly (as was the case Friday night). He kept on sliding past the pile of cars with the red van (see yesterday's photo) twice. Being too proud to do a three point turn to line himself up with the cars, he kept on driving around and around the track until he was finally able to line himself up and crush the previously flattened cars. What a driver.

...it WAS a full-sized van but...

What goes up...

...must come down!

Is That Truck Flying?!

That's right... I took Michelle to a monster truck show for her birthday on Friday. With a wife like that, you'd say I've pretty much got it made.* Now that I've seen a monster truck show, I think everyone should go at least once in their life. It's like NASCAR meets pro-wrestling. Look at the air this truck got!

It's hard to take a steady hand-held shot of a moving target in low-light using a telephoto lense, so you'll pardon me if some of the images this week are a tad blurry.

*To keep our necks from getting too red, M and I went on Saturday to The Shaw Festival to see their production of "High Society". That's right, "Monster Jam" followed by "High Society". The irony is palpable. Kind of like that day we went to the palace at Versailles and then had supper at McDonalds.
