Hurricane Force and Steve Thompson perform the stoppie without a shell on the truck for everyone to see the truck. It would be the second show of the day from the Clinton County Fair for the Versus Monster Trucks Tour as they battle it out in two-wheel skills, racing, and freestyle action. The trucks in attendance would be Aggravated Assault, Metal Monster, Hurricane Force, Virginia Giant, and Sabotage. First up for the evening would be racing and with humid conditions on the track the trucks were having trouble running it would be a battle just to keep going and we would have an upset winner with Metal Monster getting his first-ever racing win over Loud and Dirty. Then we would have the two-wheel skills contest and for the second time on the day, the winner would be Hurricane Force and Steve Thompson with the stoppie. Then to finish off the night it would be the popular wheelie poppie axle snapping high-flying freestyle action and the winner on this night for the second time would be Hurricane Force over Loud and Dirty. The Versus Monster Truck Tour will continue its carnival ride in a couple of weeks as they head to the Herkimer County Fairgrounds on July 26th and 27th for another high-excitement weekend of action.

Jesse Como and Rat Nasty stuff it on the nose for the stoppie off the jump. The Versus Monster Truck Tour would make their first-ever stop at the Franklin County Fair in Malone, NY for a one-night-only show and they would bring in a class lineup with Stone Crusher, Hooked, Rat Nasty, Loud and Dirty, and Excavator in two-wheel skills, racing and freestyle action along with the quad racing action. The night would start with the two-wheel skills contest as each truck would get to hits to do their best trick for the crowd and the winner would be Rat Nasty and Jesse Como as he would do the stoppie. Next up would be side-by-side qualifying and racing on a J style and straight line and the fastest in qualifying would be Hooked and Frank Krmel. Then it would be onto racing and it would come down to a pair of team trucks as Hooked and Stone Crusher would line up in the finals and Hooked would get the win by a nose. Then to finish off the night it would be freestyle action with a good amount of room to play and jumps to play with as Hooked would take his high-flying action to the track and get the win. It will be a short turnaround for the teams as they are back in action in three days as they head to the Oswego County Fairgrounds on the next stop on August 10th and 11th. Gallery

Virginia Giant and Hurricane Force would launch over the cars during the semi-finals of side-by-side racing that would see Hurricane Force get the win. It would be the first of two shows on the day for the annual return of the Monster Trucks with the Versus Monster Truck Tour but with a twist this season as it would be a completely different lineup of trucks compared to years past with Aggravated Assault, Metal Monster, Hurricane Force, Loud and Dirty, Sabotage and Virginia Giant as they battle the course. The first event up would be qualifying and racing on two different tracks as they would qualify on a U Shape track and racing would be on Straight Line but in the end, it wouldn't matter as Hurricane Force would take quick time and win racing over Loud and Dirty to take the early event lead. Then we would have the two-wheel skills competition and the winner once again would be Steve Thompson and Hurricane Force with his moonwalk that would see him slightly overrotate and end with rubber side up. Then after the intermission, the track would be set up for every popular axle snapping wheelie popping freestyle action and the crowd ever have a treat with the areil assault between Hurricane Force and Loud and Dirty but in the end by crowd applause Hurricane Force would complete the afternoon show sweep.
