At 3:00 pm the Monster Truck Pit Party kicks off where attendees have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the trucks and earn a souvenir from the drivers.
The engines will fire at 4:00 pm with Overkill Evolution, Black Stallion, Walking Tall and Storm Damage soaring through the air, crushing cars and showing off their skills to the eager fans. We go big, and we go small – especially when it comes to monster trucks; driven by the owners son is the Grand Slam, a 1/3 scale monster truck that has the skills and power to keep up with the big boys.
But monster trucks are only part of the show, we will have professional lawn mower racing, demolition derby and a kids power wheel race. Enter your child for a $5 entry fee (kids must bring their own battery powered vehicles to participate).
