.:HOT ACTION IN MT PLEASANT!:.
(May 26, 2010)
It was a hot and
sunny 4th of July weekend but the action at the Soaring Eagle
Casino in Mount Pleasant, Michigan was blistering as Monster
Truck Madness truly took over on July 3. Jocelyn kicked things
off with a fantastic set of wheelie in the wheelie contest
walking the truck over the cars much to the delight of the
crowd. Freestyle was wild as Perrin turned in a fantastic run
filled with big air, donuts, and vertical wheelies.
A HUGE thanks to the Soaring Eagle Casino for their hospitality.
Look for a highlight video in the next few days!
Our next show is the 2nd Annual Jesse Birgy Memorial Monsters of
Rock event at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan on July 22nd.
Hope to see you there!
.:DOMINATION IN THE DOME!:. The Silverdome reopened
after being closed for several years on Saturday. What better way
then having monster trucks to reopen the historic dome? Jocelyn
fought hard through the racing brackets making it all the way into
the final round against Sean Duhon in Sudden Impact. In a close race,
Jocelyn was defeated but the crowd still roared their approval for
the bright 1940's Willys designed by ZR Graphics. Freestyle ended
early after a fantastic vertical wheelie sent the truck up on two
wheels and over onto it's roof. Jocelyn was disappointed but was
thrilled to see all her fans in the autograph line after the
show!

.:A NEW HIGH MAINTENANCE!:.
(May 26, 2010) After taking
3
Freestyle Championships, some nasty crashes, vertical wheelies,
and blistering fast cyclones, the current High Maintenance
chassis will be retired this Summer. Built in 2000
by the Perrin family and Charlie Bidgood of AB Spring, the
current chassis has served well for nearly a decade of wild
rides and heart thumping thrills. To segway into a new decade
and new chapter of Perrin Motorsports we would like to welcome
Rich Inman and Concussion Engineering to the team and announce
the construction of a new Concussion Engineering Chassis for
Perrin Motorsports. “I couldn’t be happier with Rich and the
guys at concussion” stated team owner Jeff Perrin, “We’re
definitely looking forward to achieving some great things with
the new truck.” he continued. “Rich’s fabrication work is
amazing and his chassis are tough.” Perrin Motorsports is also
thrilled to welcome Steve Combs and Knight Stalker Enterprises
to the fantastic lineup of sponsors making it possible to
compete. Knight Stalker Enterprises will be sponsoring the new
High Maintenance with all new sway bars and two new 4” double
bypass 26” travel shocks and the team couldn’t be more excited.
August will mark the 20th anniversary of Jocelyn's monster truck
career, what a way to celebrate as she will climb behind the
wheel of her all new truck as Concussion Engineering and Perrin
Motorsports hope to have the truck fully operational by
September.
The team is shooting for some testing and possibly unveiling for
a test and tune session at the 4 Wheel Drive Jamboree in
Indianapolis, Indiana mid September. Fans can still catch High
Maintenance and Jocelyn in action with the summer shows kicking
off July 3rd in Mt Pleasant, Michigan.
Special
thank you to everyone who made the past decade of thrills and
spills possible and to everyone helping to make the next just as
fun!
