2nd Show of 2011 Monster Jam at the Angel Stadium Anaheim, CA Click here for the Monster Jam recap 
Our second show of the year was in Anaheim, California! That's right: the whole team, in California, for the 1st time ever!!! We were so excited to be there. First, we left Houston on Sunday, after the show, and got to Menifee, CA, on Tuesday morning. Rick Swanson (Obsession and Obsessed Monster trucks) told us that we could use his shop to work on our trucks, and park our semis and trailers in their backyard, which was awesome!!! HUGE THANKS TO RICK, ERIC AND JILL SWANSON FOR THEIR HOSPITALY!!! The track here in Anaheim was pretty different from what we're used to! But it was really interesting to get to try something new! 
Jim and Chris both got interviewed during the pit party. 
Check out more pics of the pit party on our Pit Party Photos page 
Avenger got its flag to the World Finals here in Anaheim!!! 
It was Avenger's night for Racing!!! First, he deafeated Obsession in first round, then Batman. 
In the semi finals, Time Flys wasn't fast enough to beat Jim, which put Avenger in the finals against El Toro Loco. It was a close race, but unfortunately, El Toro Loco won. From Monsterjamonline.com: "The improvement in Avenger’s racing was obvious at last year’s World Finals, and after having received his Qualifier Flag tonight for the upcoming Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam World Finals presented by NGK Spark Plugs, Jim looked to be unstoppable." 
Spike was the first Team Scream truck on the track for freestyle. Rich started strong by jumping the bus stacks, and the table top, but due to a broken driveshaft, he could not finish his run. 
Wrecking Crew's freestyle was great... until the wheel came off! 
From Monsterjamonline.com: "Brutus and Avenger both brought the very best of Team Scream with high flying, nonstop action. Brutus edged his teammate due to Koehler’s deductions from losing power three different times." 
Chris' freestyle was AWESOME!!! He was on the hot seat until Captain's Curse freestyle. 
AVENGER'S FREESTYLE! 
Avenger's cyclone was pretty intense! 
After Jim's freestyle, the announcer interviewed Chris, still on the hot seat... then noticed that Jim was standing by the Angel Stadium's fountain, above the rock tunnel... so the camera turned to Jim, and you all can guess what happened next... !!!
