Before the action starts, we got Pit Passes and went down onto the Silverdome floor to check out the Monster Trucks. All the people on the left side are lining up to get the Grave Digger's autograph !

Here's Eric, Simon, Michael, Justin, Alex and James. But where is Garrett?

Simon is sure looking forward to the action. He likes the Grave Digger best.
