Looks like it went pretty good, can't wait to see the TV coverage next week while nursing a Texas Motor Speedway hangover, nice to have a non drinker going with me. Now if my mom would only get HD service by next week.

MY first sst experience
I got to the stadium at 4 pm for the pit party, but I couldn't get in unless i had 6 empty cans of speed or i was going to have to pay 60 dollars for a party of six i was with, mostly kids and 2 adults, after noticing people running back of foward swapping cans for passes for the pit party, finally i got to go inside and spend like 250 dollars of speed merchandize (which was my intention) at around 5 we head to the stadium and the venue was awesome.
monster truck racing was cool but people are expecting wheelies and freestyle, <-----add that and it will gain more fans, I know its the opposite of MJ but hearing the crowds reaction when the Monster truck lost fiber glass panels or almost rolled, and destroying the orange and white plastic track devider things they when crazy, <--people love carnage its a fact. More crew and tow cars need to be ready to go from all corners kind of hard for 6 people to flip the SST's when they roll and will roll because of the high HP and challenging track, track needs more little whoops they had nice set but monster trucks killed them fast left it flat and sandy, def need some tweaking but the show was great totally worth it no regrets i have a lil clip but im not sure to post it untill the nbc show airs

It was not mentioned here but how many seats were filled ? Doesn't matter anyway. LA and San Diego are the capital of off road. More RG fans than anywhere. Close to sold out is an easy prediction. As the series moves on the crowds will build, TV coverage will expand and SST will grow. The thing's mentioned to improve are good idea's like a position totem pole for the fan's to keep track of positions.
This is great entertainment at a fair price for family's interested in racing. Purely localized fun. No weekend's worth of ticket's like Nascar, Indy. One day and evening and done. Way more accessible for the race fan's.
A single can of Speed Energy get's you Pit Access.
See you at the Colosseum and Jack Murphy San Diego.
Advertising in the local newspaper for the next race would be too simple. Not one ad here yet in San Diego. Three Million (3) people read the paper here every day. GET THE WORD OUT !!

Glendale, Ariz. (April 6, 2013) – The Inaugural Stadium SUPER Trucks event at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. proved to be a rough and tumble one as drivers in four distinct divisions were tested with many unique obstacles throughout the high flying course. Rob MacCachren, Darren Migues, Eddie Tafoya, and Myles Cheek were able to overcome all challenges and mark their name in the record book as the first ever winners in Robby Gordon OFF-ROAD competition.

MacCachren, of Las Vegas, Nev., driving the #21 Traxxas truck held off a duo of SPEED Energy driver’s en route to taking home the first checkered flag in Stadium SUPER Trucks history.

The 18-lap Stadium SUPER Trucks final was led to green by Justin Matney of Bristol, Va. who jumped out to the early lead before being over taken by Mexican off-road standout Lalo Laguna. Racing out to a 3 truck lead ahead of Matney on Lap 2, Laguna lost the handle on his #17 Vist Mexico entry allowing it to make contact and get stuck on the outside water barrier. However, the man on the move was the #21 of MacCachren rocketing from the sixth position to third in just one lap.

Quick Qualifier Justin Lofton, of Brawley, Calif., found trouble with Mike Jenkins in the #47 Traxxas truck coming off the second double resulting in Lofton rolling over on his side. On the restart, MacCachren set his sights on leader Matney, and was able power his way past to take the lead on Lap 4.
Lofton, found trouble once again on Lap 10, as a fire erupted underneath the hood of the #6 Imperial Valley Full Plate truck. On the restart, MacCachren blasted off to a four truck lead ahead of Matney and Phoenix, Ariz. native P.J. Jones. The final laps became a shootout for second as no one could catch MacCachren. Jones gave everything he had to get past Matney in the final corners, resulting in him losing control of his truck and flipping over.

MacCachren, raced the #21 Traxxas truck to victory in convincing fashion ahead of Mattney and Orange, Calif. native Robby Gordon.
In the SUPER Buggy feature Tafoya, of Chino Hills, Calif., was able to overcome a broken left front suspension and a late race charge by Robb Harvey, of Glendora, Calif. to race his way to victory in the ultra quick paced Stadium Buggy final.

Adrian Cenni, of South Hampton, N.Y. paced the field to green jumping out to ever so brief lead before spinning in turn one and scattering buggies in all directions behind. Tafoya took benefit from the stalled Cenni machine working his way past and stretching out to an early lead. Larry Foddrill battled with Tafoya for multiple laps before getting into the water barriers losing multiple positions.

The race came down to a last-lap shootout as Harvey was able to catch the ill handling Tafoya machine. The two went side-by-side with multiple calls with Tafoya prevailing to take the checkered flag ahead of second place finisher Harvey and third place Rob Martensen.

Other winners included Darren Migues driving Bounty Hunter over Larry Swim’s SPEED Energy Bigfoot in the Monster Truck division; Myles Cheek, bested 16 competitors in the SUPER Trophy Kart division.

The Inaugural season of Stadium SUPER Trucks continues Saturday night, April 27, in Los Angeles, Calif. at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a full slate of Stadium SUPER Trucks, Monster Truck, SUPER Buggy, and SUPER Trophy Kart racing.

Tickets to Stadium SUPER Trucks at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum start at just $25 for adults with kid’s tickets available for $10 dollars off at the stadium box office or through Ticketmaster at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.

I turn 40 in 2 weeks and purchased myself tickets to the LA SST race for a birthday gift! After just being on here last night and seeing the videos, I can't wait! I will have my empty Speed cans for access to the pit areas.
