Q)
We would love to see you race in Salt Lake City, Utah in August. It is an awesome figure-8 track with lots of speed and big air, as well as an awesome field of trucks. We hope you win your battle with Live Nation. I am boycotting the World Finals this year to protest what they did to you. Hope to see you out there racing again soon. The monster truck world would not be the same without you.

Hey Madusa, I am so sorry to hear what happened, you know i'll be calling and e-mailing live nation. You are a true inspiration to me and all your fans and you deserve so much better. I am preying they come to their senses and bring u back. I was really looking forward to seeing you, I miss not seeing u as much. Please take care and know i'll be thinking of you, I wish nothing but the best for you

Oh my gosh Jesse... how are you? You have been to most of all the world finals and stood in my long ass line year after year and gave me great gifts, support and most of all your loyalty... please let them know how you feel....protest at the world finals, picket outside the event. show them they can not treat their talent this way!! we make them millions and when we want a raise after six years and negotiate a new contract we get fired! there is something wrong here... Hopefully the new owners of Live Nation based in LA, Michael Rapino etc. will have a heart.

This is just another example why I am not a fan of the USHRA events. The judging stinks, and they treat great racers like Madusa terrible. If you ask me, they want Digger or Meents to win every show, and it should be obvious to any fan. Did you notice that a truck like Bigfoot or Raminator that could easily win is not welcome on their circuit? We are behind you 100% and hope to still get the chance to see you in person sometime. Hang in there! The Live Nation can go to HELL!
--Chris Walquist, Burley, ID

I can not believe the response and loyalty. this is awesome.. USHRA is the sanctioning body for monster truck events which is owned by Clear Channel and or SFX and or Live Nation... Hard to keep up with all the changing of companies. I do agree the judging is horrible.

Hi Madusa,
I called the 310-867-7200 number, asked for the monster truck division. Got transfered but the jerk would not answer the phone so I left a voice mail. Explained to him I would not listen to any live nation radio stations until you come back. I will continue to call every day.
You rock

Q)
Is monster trucks rigged? I only ask that because you have been doing this for 6 years and now all of a sudden they fire you (best woman driver) and bring in trucks that haven't been driving very long, trucks that have never been to World Finals and now all of a sudden they are good enough to go? Good enough to play with the big boys/girls? I think not! Yes there is great talent with alot of these drivers, but Live Nation needs to take care of the drivers that have been doing this for years, don't get me wrong, all the drivers need to be taken care of, but you get my drift! Live Nation made a huge mistake and the need to fix it! My daughter is 4 years old and loves you, all she has talked about since last year's world finals is MADUSA! There are not many female role models out there for our young girls to look up to, and I have to say that I am glad you are my daughter's hero and I am proud for her to look up to a great woman such as yourself. Good Luck and best whishes in the near future. GET THE HINT LIVE NATION! BRING BACK MADUSA

Rigged could mean many different answers... One example is pro- wrestling yes it is... but very great actors, stunts and athletes all in one. Monster Trucks are on a favoritism line up because Live Nation owns 90% of them. So to keep it legit they ask some Independents to Join in. If you notice at events why do certain monster trucks come out last all the time? ie: intros, freestyle. When i was there I was told that the world champions would always come out last...In two years time as champion I came out last ONCE! That to me was a little odd... and why is there only one banner at all the events supporting a web site of a certain monster truck and not any others? because they own it!!! You do not see anyone else's monster trucks web site being promoted at the events....I was also told that it is not about the drivers and that the fans only care about the trucks... I thought this was very odd as well.. So to answer your question is it rigged? It is controlled. I got lucky winning the world finals because it was to obvious of a win to take it away from me.

Q)
I believe that Live Nation is a scam and trying to eliminate competition from it's golden boys of Anderson and Meents. Not that they aren't incredible talents because they very much are, but they are not the ONLY talent on the circuit. Point being Live Nation doesn't respect it's talent and I think you should hook up with Bob Chandler and others who do not run with Live Nation and create one big promotion to kick Live Nation's ass. And who better to do it than one of the best women's wrestlers of all time???

Q)
Hey guys, when you call Live Nation, ask for Motor sports and MR. Michael Prince. I have left my name and number with him and have yet to recieves a call back. I was very professional and in no way gave any indication about what my call was concerning Other than I performed at teh Monster Jam in Jacksonville and had an issue I needed to discuss with him. GRASSROOTS People, that is where this has got to come from! Mark R. Saint Marys! Go Madusa THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE BOMBSHELL!
--Mark Rector, Saint Marys, GA

You rock! thank you and do not give up!! thanks this could make a difference. It just isn't about me anymore..all the drivers are underpaid. if you are an independent driver/owner you are totally screwed as well.. madusa
