Now me and my family, we’ve never been to a Monster Jam event, this will be our first one. So what can we expect? Besides the extremely loud noise? Check out some interesting facts about Monster Jam Events:

- At Monster Jam, monster trucks face off in two different forms of competition — side-by-side racing and freestyle:

- Side-by-side racing – traditional bracket racing, where the first truck, with the least amount of penalties, crosses the finish line is declared the winner.

- Freestyle competition – allows drivers a limited amount of time on the open floor to show off their skills. In this category, the fans serve as the judges.

- 2007 was the 25 year anniversary for the Grave Digger Team

- More than 4 million Monster Jam fans attend events each year worldwide

- The World Finals in Las Vegas, NV brings 24 of the top trucks in the world to compete for the World Freestyle and Racing Championships. Competitors are by invitation only.

- A monster truck race team will travel 45,000 Miles / 72,400 kilometers a year by land to attend events.

- Typical monster trucks cost $600,000 yearly to build, staff, compete, transport and maintain on the Monster Jam tour.

- Steel body full-size cars are the vehicles typically crushed during a monster truck event.

- Cars, as well as vans, buses, motor homes, airplanes and ambulances, are attained from local junkyards and returned after each event.

- Average number of cars crushed per year: 3,000.

This isn’t typically the type of thing we go to, but I’m kind of excited to see it… It sounds just like that… EXCITING! I can’t wait to go, how about you?
