It was great to be at the Bath and West Showground. The weather was warm, crowds, both young and old were waiting with eager anticipation for the start of The Commercial Motor & Truck & Driver Truckfest South West where Dave King was the commentator in the main arena for the day.
As Monsters Bigfoot 17 and Slingshot warmed up for battle, heads turned at the mere sound of throbbing engines; Slingshot first followed by Bigfoot. Old cars were carefully placed in a line and battle commenced! Definitely a crowd pleaser!
Amidst many fantastic finely polished and painted trucks, the famous (and very brave) Ice Road Truckers Lisa Kelly and Alex Debogorski were available for photographs.
Following a fine demonstration of recovery vehicles in action in the main arena were Dan, and John Pearson from Broke FMX who stunned the crowds with their unbelievable motorbike stunts. These two riders clearly spend countless hours practising their individual fast-paced routines. The speed and precision performed by these two chaps was frankly stunning.
Truckfest South West – certainly worth a visit next year.
