I guess they are doing some races with Indy as a support race. The Long Beach race will be televised on NBCSports Saturday at 1AM right before F1 qualifying. This looks like it might be fun. Lots of power slides, rubbing, and jumps.
I was at the race and they are all that and a bag of chips. They ran right before the Indy Cars and I enjoyed their race more. Those trucks really are awesome.
I think it is more of a SoCal type sport, same idea why Raptors sell like hotcakes here. Our version of offroading is miles and miles of desert.
I'm kind of excited to see these trucks at the Belle Isle GP later next month. I watched part of a street race they were at last year (can't remember which city) and it was wild watching these trucks catch big air on city streets and do these HUGE 3-wheeled drifts around corners with their off-road tires
the race I watched only fielded 6 trucks, which is fine I guess. But it'd be nice to see more.

I hope these 2 series don't get as bad as NASCAR.........
yeah i gave up on Nascar with all the restrictions etc. and unless its a short track its just plain boring. the races would be much more enjoyable to watch if they weren't 500 laps long.
Offroad and dirt track is much more fun to watch, more eventful and more real driving.
