The day before
the event, Lee Duquette wanted to find parking for this Monster Jam
Event. He spent $88.31 at the parking garage on 24 W. Henry Street in
Indianapolis, Indiana. But when he arrived there the next day, the sign
said the parking garage did not open until 3 p.m., which would be too
late for the Monster Jam. So that was a big waste of money, because
there were no refunds. But then Lee did find an outdoor lot with a Monster
Jam Parking sign, so he paid to park there. Lesson Learned. |

Then
it was time for Lee and Karen Duquette to enter the Lucas Oil Stadium.
Below are two views: one before the rest of the crowd arrived and one
during the Pit Party event. There was a very big crowd here, but Karen
managed to take one picture before it got crowded, because as usual,
they were near the start of the entry line. Later, she took another
photo to show some of the crowd at this event. |
|
|
As usual, Lee and Karen Duquette
started this Monster Jam event with the Pit Party, so that Karen could
get the Monster Truck Drivers to sign her 2025 Monster Jam Book.
But there was NOT enough time allowed for this very large crowd to
stand in line for each and every Monster Truck Driver, as Karen Duquette
has done in the past. But since, some of the drivers had previously
signed Karen's book at other Monster Truck events, Lee Duquette led
Karen towards any truck or driver that was new to them. |

Below: Even though this Monster
Jam Event was actually held the day before St. Patrick's Day, Karen
Duquette wore her green. Several people acknowledged her outfit. Karen
likes to make people smile. Karen's right arm was in a sling because
she just had shoulder surgery. Yes, Karen is right-handed.
The first signature that Karen wanted was that of Cynthia Gauthier,
driver of Lucas Stabilizer. |

|
|
|
The second
signature that Karen Duquette wanted was that of Joe Foley, the driver
of AXE. |
|
|
|
|
|
The third signature that Karen
Duquette wanted was that of Mike Christenson, the driver of Vendetta. |

Then it was time to get the signature of Jim Koehler, the driver of
Avenger. |

Below: A miniature Jurassic
Attack Monster Truck on the tire of the real Jurassic Attack
Monster Truck. Karen Duquette is in the process of buying small monster
trucks, and at this time she only has 11. Unfortunately, NONE of the
monster trucks she has seen and still needs to buy were sold at this
event. That was a big disappointment for her. Jurassic Attack was not
available here either. |
|
Below: Karen Duquette got
the signature of Dalton Widner, driver of Jurassic Attack on this date. |
|
|
Below: Karen and Lee Duquette
have seen the Megalodon Monster Truck four other times with different
drivers. This time, the driver of Megalodon was Kevin Crocker, whose
name was on one side of the Monster Truck. |

Below: After waiting a few
minutes for the video crew to interview Armando Castro, Karen and Lee
Duquette posed for a photo with him. |
|
 |
For the first time, Karen
Duquette did not get to get the signatures from the other Monster Truck
drivers because there just was not enough time to stand in another further
lines because this was a massive amount of people here. But those left
were drivers that had signed her book before. |
