Here are some of my thoughts about random stuff in the industry

Blue Thunder
I really think Blue Thunder deserves more than what Monster Jam is doing with it today. That truck is a legend and has been around for a long time and also driven by a lot of superstars today. I think Monster Jam should give it its own chassis, a new driver (since Matt Cody is driving Iron Warrior), and put it back in Stadiums.

Monster Jam's First Quarter Tours
I personally think that Monster Jam's Q1 events should go back to the way it was before. Back when each show had a different lineup and not the same 14 trucks in the same 10 places. I think they should keep overall event championships for each event too.

Radical Rescue
I would love to see this truck return. Idk which driver I would put in it but anyone would be fine.

"International Tour" drivers
Super disappointed when Monster Jam announced drivers like Chad Fortune and Marc McDonald would be touring in the "International Tour" exclusively. This just wasn't doing these veteran drivers justice. It would've been better if they actually competed in the events but no, they mixed the lineups with US drivers. I think its safe to say that these drivers are considered retired if they don't make any appearances this year. Sad but true.

Fire and Ice
NOT A FAN. I mean I like the designs but the concept "Fire and Ice" is pretty useless. Plus I'm getting tired of hearing Fire or Ice mentioned after the trucks name lol, i mean: Zombie FIRE, Dragon ICE. It's just stupid for me.

Judging
Judgeszone.com is fine for me. The only problem about it is that it usually overscores an early run with a wow factor which almost leaves no room for a new leader later on in the show. A great example is World Finals 20.

Independents Running FELD Bodies
This should stop immediately. We already have multiple trucks with the same bodies and this just adds up to it. I want to see Independent names in Monster Jam shows not just the chassis.

Leaf Springs
I recently got attached to these trucks idk why. They're fine for me but we need more than just slow heavy trucks crushing cars and racing each other. There needs to be a new type of competition somewhere.
