At 4pm the track will clear and engines fire as the real show begins! The monster trucks will start and soar through the air as they crush cars, show off skills, take on jumps, and perhaps daringly leap a full size school bus! Grab a glimpse of the future as the next generation of drivers pilots 1/3 scale mini monster trucks! Professional lawn mower racing will run their championship rounds and an old school modified demolition derby with real cars will entertain fans. For a small $10 entry fee, your child can have a part in the show by participating in the Kids POWER WHEELS competition (kids must bring their own battery powered vehicles–more details to follow).
