So, How many people here have been to a Monster Truck event

you would be surprised where Monster Truck events are held, I dont know of any right off hand in Italy, but Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Denmark,The UK, Germany,The EAU, Egypt, Russia, South Africa, Mexico, Canada, a handfull of South American countries, I know all host Monster Truck events of some sort.(in fact, down in Brazil, there is a former BIGFOOT race truck that was "confiscated" by Brazilian customs has been doing events down there for a number of years down there)

Some of the guys in Sweden and the UK have some top notch equipment and can run with the Big Guns.


Flux, how long ago was it that you went to one, where was it, and what were your impressions of the show?

A friend once won four tickets to a monster truck rally in a drawing. So we and two others went and got shit-faced because we hadn't anything better to do.
 
Guilty, in fact if they bring them back to the speedway for 2010 my old car is due to be crushed by one, :devil:
 
Never and I want to go to one so much! I tried to look them up online but I couldn't find anything around here anytime soon. :(
 
I went to one once, was throughly unimpressed. Though I will admit to still having some BIGFOOT stuff around somewhere.
 
Want to get rid of it?
Im always in the market for Bigfoot stuff, old and new.

Kestra, what part of the world do you live in? there are alot of promotors that put on shows that dont get advertised very well, if you live in the Continental USA or Canada, the best place to find out if a Monster Truck event is coming near you is The Monster Blog's ( http://www.themonsterblog.com/ ) schedule page (http://monsterblog.lzsportsource.com/schedule.htm )

Otherwise, Its kind of hit or miss, theres a major up and coming Australian tour and several in the UK and Sweden
 
On a side note, I spent my Saturday working around a very old Monster Truck(was built in 1982 and has been parked since the death of the owner in 1986, the orig. owners brother and a few of my friends and myself have been working on it to get it back into running condition and Saturday was the big day, and after sitting in a garage with a tarpolian over it without being so much as started for 23 years 10 months, it was time to bring it back to life and move it around, and that we did.

im the guy in the Blue shirt in the 2nd video flagging the driver.

if any of you live in the Sulphur Louisiana area, the shop is right behind the Billy Navarre Chevrolet Used Car lot, if the doors are open, just come on in and tell Glenn Hi.

Hopefully we'll have the 66 inch tires back in usable condition and be able to mount them in the next few weeks!!!

Thanks! I'm in IL, so the closest I can find would be in Iowa or Indiana, and I don't know anyone who is willing to go to another state to see one of these with me. Oh well, I'll keep checking!
 
Yeah, I did see that but it's so far away that going to Iowa or Indiana would probably be closer.
 
Vroom vroom! I used to love these as a kid and haven't gone in year.
I saw an ad on the tv that there will be a monster jam near me (maybe it's over now I don't know) and I though I should totally get tickets. Also for got about it.
I always loved Gggggrrravedigger!
 
Yes, oh god yes. I've been to 3 in my life and they are soo much fun.

My favorite event, funnily enough, was the tractor pull though. The roll over comp was great too.

Totally worth coming home half deaf and smelling like gasoline.
