My old man supplies the cars for Clive when he comes to Mackay. They get on well. Dad helps clean up the next day and we normally get some decent tickets. Show is always good. Last time was at our new Stadium and I think the ground was a little small for them but they still did an awesome job.
Oh cool! I know Clive pretty well, been helping him with shows since 2008. Stayed at his compound on the sunshine coast a few times too. That Mackay show looked pretty good, Clive was thinking the area was too cluttered with obstacles. They couldn't extend it out any further due to safety. The yankee bloke, Kreg Christensen, he is also another good mate who I've worked with many many times when he's over here.
My 5 year old (then 4) almost got a passenger ride in Scooby Doo (or a bull one), during Lismore show - we were in the first row of kids wanting a ride, they took around 15-20 kids for 1 (kiddy pace) lap around the race track. He got scared at the last second...so I encouraged him...but didn't force him. Monster jam and ninja warrior are his two favourite shows...after Bluey and Peppa...
We went to the Monster Jam show a couple of years ago and my boy still wears his Megalodon shirt. But he saves it for when we are going out somewhere special
i'd imagine that would have been in the proper race truck, not a rides truck?? There is a rides truck that was modelled off the former Scooby Doo truck, but it's based in Adelaide.
not normally, no. LOL. Rides trucks are mostly converted old trucks with the leaf spring suspension and non-supercharged engines.
