Lee and Karen Duquette
at their 10th different Monster Jam Event - (several pages)
Page #1 - The Pit Party at Lucas Oil Stadium
MEET AND GREET THE MONSTER TRUCKS AND DRIVERS
500 S. Capital Avenue
Indianapolis, IN 46225
March 16, 2025 -

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.

THE PIT PARTY

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.

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.

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.
