Check out this amazing save by Melissa Stathas, the driver of the God, Guts and Glory monster truck at Saturday’s show. Melissa was doing her thing during the freestyle portion of the show. She made her jump, but landed off to the side of her run and nearly flips the truck on its lid. Just as the truck is ready to go over, Melissa guns it, spinning the the two gargantuan tires still touching the ground. That gives just enough grip to get the truck back safely on the ground. The crowd went nuts.

I wonder if EM is thinking about taking up the sport or just renting one out for a day to get revenge on the hit-and-runner.
