Hitting the tripple isn't hard (well not for me at least).
I took home TQ honors today. I was the only monster truck that got in 11 laps during a qualifying run. Mich would have too as we were practically side by side the whole qual, but he flamed out on lap 9 or 10. In the main, that was another story. I ended up misjudging the tripple and landed with my front right tire in the straight right as a rpm equipped mgt was coming down the straight. His bumper hit my truck right on the tire. The damage isn't pretty at all. After quick inspection here's what I'll need to fix it.
Lower arm, upper arm, tie rod, upright, servo, and a driveshaft. Prolly around $120-130 in damage .
Learn from what happened to me folks. If you're having trouble and you're landing in the straight because of a bad jump consider yourself lucky. I only did it 2 or 3 times I think all day today and on the last time, bam, that was all she wrote.
