Note: This was NOT a Feld show!!

Just a quick history lession, George Sr was the owner of Dragway 42 and Thompson Dragway at one time, bad deal indeed. Condolences to the whole Eisenhart family.

UPDATE: Show's promoter and announcer dies after monster truck accident
Wisconsin State Journal

The promoter and announcer of the Monster Truck Nationals show, George Eisenhart, Jr., 41, of Chardon, Ohio, was identified Sunday as the man killed during a performance of the huge trucks Saturday night at the Dane County Coliseum.

A news conference is scheduled later this afternoon.

A spectator at the show, Jeff Murray, Madison, said Eisenhart stepped out onto the Coliseum floor just as one of the pickup trucks with oversized tires was about to go by.

"He just walked out in front of it," Murray said. "There's no way either one could have seen the other."
