Truck/Driver of the year runner up, Brian Towensend/Boogey Van/Bear Foot Old School. Brain only made it to the second round in Valpo, which really didn't have a set bracket. When Brian Towensend came out for freestyle he put on a show. Including launching off of the dirt hill. Then there was Eve of Destruction at Rockford Speedway. There were two trucks in attendence. The schelduled trucks were Mummy and Ozz Monster. When we showed up it was Boogey Van, and we were glad it was. Ozz Monster Broke during the show and the rain was falling, then Brian came out and made a dozen or more passes over the set of cars. Each time with bigger air. Brian put together the best freestyle preformance with one set of cars I have ever seen. Brian unexpectedly showed up to Joilet too. The lineup originaly called for the Creten's Bear Foot and Monster Patrol to be there. Yet Shafer showed up, with Scorpian King and Old School Bear Foot. I first found out when we were driving to a display prior to the show. I had no clue what truck was going to be at the display. When we were getting close I saw a Blue truck and I said to my self, "It can't be Boogey Van?" Well it wasen't Boogey Van, but it was the same driver. Brian ended up breaking in Racing, yet he came back in freestyle, with a limpy truck to make a couple of sweet jumps clearing all 5 and then some plus a slap wheelie.
