Kaboom Motorsports has completed the first half of their CFP Summer Tour with stellar performances. Devin and Barbarian rolled into beautiful Sheridan, Wyoming with the truck at 100%. On Saturday night, Devin dominated the racing competition beating out the always tough Jon Zimmer in the Amsoil Shock Therapy Truck and continued on the momentum to freestyle where he put Barbarian into orbit for the freestyle title. After a clean sweep in Wyoming, the team moved onto a muddy and wet Kalispell, Montana. Friday started off strong with a formidable showing in wheelies, but was just beat out by hard charging rookie Chris Lagana in Razin Kane. The racing portion of the show came down to Barbarian taking on Jon Zimmer in the Amsoil truck, with Zimmer sneaking out the win. Freestyle, however, was all Barbarian with more huge air and slap wheelies in the muddy confines of the Flathead County Fairgrounds. Saturday would prove to be more of the same track conditions despite the officials best efforts. Wheelies would be a challenge as the mud prevented hardly any traction as Devin lofted Barbarian up and over the cars for a strong showing. Round one of racing would see Barbarian have issues within the transfer case, only putting the truck out of commission temporarily. After the quick fix, Devin piloted the truck to a strong 3rd place finish. With the frustration of the minor breakage, Devin was determined to put on a show in freestyle for the fans. A textbook-Barbarian run would be seen by the fans in Kalispell as the truck would be pointed vertical numerous times as well as massive jumps. A big thanks goes out to Zane Rettew with Checkered Flag Productions for his hospitality.

The team will have the next month off to regroup for the second half of its summer tour beginning in Grain Valley, MO. for “Monsters In The Valley”.

Kaboom Motorsports has literally been on a roll in the past two weeks as they competed in both Edna, Texas and Liberal, Kansas for Checkered Flag Productions. Devin started out the beginning of a 5-week tour with a bang in Edna, Texas at the Breckenridge Events Center. Friday action saw Devin walk Barbarian up and over the set of cars, just grazing the wheelie bar. In the racing portion of Friday night, Devin was pit against the always tough Larry Swim in Bigfoot with Swim just edging out the win in the final round. Freestyle, however, was all Barbarian as Devin piloted the truck to another high paced and big air run. Saturday would be more of the same as Devin opened the show with a thundering wheelie that resulted in another wheelie contest win! Devin took the title of freestyle champion on Saturday afternoon in a run filled with great momentum and, after a bad bounce, Barbarian’s first rollover in quite some time! Devin would get Barbarian back to 100% and prepare for the final show of the weekend. Again, Devin won the wheelie contest with rollover #2 on the weekend by stabbing the wheelie bar into the dirt which twisted the truck, sending it over on its roof. Racing would see Devin make it to the finals, this time against Mike Hawkins and the Lucas Oil Equalizer. It was close, but Barbarian was just edged at the finish line. Freestyle was a different story as Devin completed the weekend sweep with big air, wheelies, and lots of momentum. The team would head back to the shop to replace the body and head to Liberal, Kansas for another round of CFP action.

The Friday night show at the Liberal Fairgrounds Speedway was dominated by Kaboom Motorsports as Devin picked up the wheelie contest as he masterfully walked Barbarian across the infield on the rear tires! Barbarian was extremely fast in the racing portion of the show and beat out final round competitor Mike Hawkins in Equalizer handily. As freestyle rolled around, Barbarian would get to stretch its legs with massive leaps over the van stack and more wheelies. To end the night, Barbarian was rocketed skyward for an insane leap that’s been deemed “The Biggest air in Checkered Flag Productions History”! As Devin attempted to turn the truck around, the left front tire caught a small jump and sent Barbarian over on its lid for the third time in two weeks! The truck would be put back together and be ready for battle on Saturday night though as Devin picked up where he left off winning the wheelie contest. Racing would see Devin taking on the Lucas Oil Equalizer again in the finals. Pushing hard into the final turn, Devin bicycled the truck on two wheels and made an awesome save, ultimately giving the win to Hawkins in Equalizer. Freestyle would see the Barbarian truck starting huge, but a blown right front tire would end the night early.

The team is now making the 12 hour drive to Sheridan, Wyoming with their friends at CFP. The team will then move onto its final stop in Kalispell, Montana before returning home. Check out our Schedule to see where Devin and Barbarian will be doing battle the rest of the summer!

Kaboom Motorsports staked their claim in hometown-Miami, Oklahoma this past weekend winning an impressive 4 of 6 competitions, including dominating both freestyle events over the course of the weekend.

The weekend kicked off with a wheelie competition that required a stellar effort just to stay on par with the competition! Devin and Barbarian stepped up to the plate and mustered their trademark, earthshaking wheelie bar landings on the first attempt, stabbing the back bar into the car set. To follow it up, Devin sealed the win by pointing Barbarian skyward and walking a masterful slap-wheelie across the fairgrounds. To close night one, Devin piloted the Barbarian to a very convincing freestyle win in only two wheel drive! The run was highlighted by a high paced air assault including a banzai shot on the backside of the bus stack that sent Barbarian vertical! To end the run, Devin wedged Barbarian on the roofs of the mutilated bus stacks to the delight of the sold out crowd.

The final show Saturday saw the Kaboom Motorsports team pick up where they left off by boasting a convincing win in the wheelie contest. Again, Barbarian was placed in a familiar, vertical position for three consecutive wheelies as well as into a chassis-twisting wheelie that walked the truck on the right rear tire on the verge of a rollover! The momentum continued into freestyle as Devin blasted out of the pits and went right for the boat, shattering it on impact and rocketing the truck into a quick vertical, slap wheelie. The run was ended short, however, as in a seemingly routine slap wheelie, Barbarian quickly grabbed traction too much to the right rear tire ultimately resulting on a nasty rollover. The crowd roared with approval as Kaboom Motorsports again proved why it’s become one of the most formidable teams in monster trucks.

There is no rest for the wicked as Devin and Barbarian head south to Edna, TX. To begin a month long tour with their friends at Checkered Flag Productions.

Devin and the Barbarian continued their winning ways in 2010 this past weekend at the Monster Truck Racing Super Series’ annual show in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Friday night started off with a bang as Devin stuck Barbarian vertical on top of the van stack and, in the process of bringing Barbarian back to Earth, ripped the doors of the van off and left them swinging on the wheelie bar! In the straight line drag racing and Chicago-style racing portions of the show, Devin put together fast and smooth runs, but came up short to the always tough Doug Noelke in Tailgator in both competitions. Unfortunately, Friday night’s freestyle was ended early as the input shaft in the transmission let go. After a quick fix, Barbarian was ready for battle on the final show of the weekend on Saturday night.

Picking up where he left off on Friday night, Devin won the wheelie competition by stabbing the wheelie bar into the car stack and commanding Barbarian into one of its infamous tail-dragging slap wheelies. Again, Doug Noelke in Tailgator just edged Devin in the straight line drag racing finals and made a solid effort in the Chicago-Style portion of the show finishing third. Devin was determined to regain the familiar title of freestyle champion and piloted Barbarian to first place with a high-intensity run.

The Kaboom Motorsports team has a few weeks off to regroup for their hometown show in Miami, Oklahoma on May 21-22 for John Darnell and the MAP Motorsports crew. Be sure to check out this show if you’re remotely close as it proves to be action packed.

Welcome to the all new Barbarian4x4.com website!  We started off the year with a great new look on the truck and we've now completed a top to bottom re-design of the website to match.  We had a great first quarter finishing third in the CFP points and we're gearing up for an exciting summer.  Check out the Schedule page to see where Devin and Barbarian are headed next and stay tuned for more updates!

The Monster Truck Winter Nationals season is in the books and Devin brought home 3rd place in the overall points after a hard fought championship battle in Pocatello.  The night started with Devin and Barbarian having a slim, outside shot at overtaking both Larry Swim in Bigfoot Bad Boy and Bill Payne in the Rock Star and winning the title.  That task wasn't made easier after the wheelie contest, where Devin attacked the ramped van stack and was unable to get the truck to go vertical. Fortunes would change in racing however, as Devin stepped up with a huge first round win over Larry Swim!  This race could have had huge championship implications had Larry been eliminated in round one, but all trucks were brought back for round two.  Devin took out Donald Epidendio in California Kid in round two, but would meet Swim once again in the semi-finals, this time falling to Bigfoot. Swim would go on to win in the finals over Bounty Hunter clinching the championship, while Devin would defeat Hot Tamale for third overall in racing.  In freestyle, Darren Migues laid down a huge run in Bounty Hunter for a score of 57 out of 60.  Devin took Barbarian to the floor and did an amazing job but would fall one point short of the lead.  Bill Payne ended up winning the freestyle with Barbarian ending up third overall and third in the final point standings.  A big thanks to everyone with CFP for making us a regular here on the 2010 tour, we greatly enjoyed chasing down a points title for the first time and we're looking forward to a great summer with CFP as well.  Check out below for some video highlights from the event, thanks to Auz Grahams for putting it together!

The regular season on the CFP winter points tour is over and now we head to Pocatello with a shot at the 2010 Championship!  Two weeks ago Devin and Barbarian were in Billings, Montana for a one night only event at the MetraPark Arena.  Devin ran strong all night with a runner-up in the wheelie contest, a semi-final appearance in racing and an amazing freestyle run that would leave Barbarian on top at the end of the night!  Check out below for a video of Devin taking down California Kid in Chicago-style racing.

From Billings it was off to Wenatchee, Washington for CFP's inaugural event at Town Toyota Center and the last chance to gain points on leader Larry Swim before the championship event in Pocatello.  Devin did not waste the opportunity to close the gap, sweeping all three freestyle contests on the weekend and moving even closer to Swim in the overall points.

Now we've got two weeks off to prepare for the big championship event at the ISU Holt Arena in Pocatello, Idaho.  While overcoming Larry Swim and Bill Payne to take the title is a tough task, Devin and Barbarian will be on kill and ready to give it everything they've got in a few weeks!  Stay tuned for updates!

After enjoying two weeks on the O'Reilly Outlaw Nationals tour to finish up February, the last two weeks have seen Devin and Barbarian once again doing battle on the CFP championship tour.  The first stop of March would be in Hobbs, New Mexico with a stellar lineup of trucks to compete against.  All the championship players under one roof as Larry Swim in Bigfoot Bad Boy, Bill Payne in Rock Star and Darren Migues in Bounty Hunter were all ready to make things tough on the Kaboom Motorsports team.  Devin held his own, going to the semi-finals in racing and tieing for the runner-up in freestyle, but this night would belong to Bill Payne and Rock Star.

Three more weekends left before the championship event in Pocatello, and all three would take place in the great Northwest starting in Pasco, Washington.  Three big shows against Bounty Hunter, Rock Star, California Kid and Kelvin Ramer's Time Flys and Fired Up machines.  Despite best efforts, Devin and Barbarian were unable to break into victory lane on the weekend, getting runner-ups in all competitions Friday night and Saturday afternoon before experiencing breakage on Saturday night.  Check out the video below for some highlights from the weekend's shows.
