It’s January, and that means it’s time to get the year rolling in a BIG way: monster trucks are coming back! Each year around this time, Monster Jam, the fun, all-ages monster truck show, comes to our area.

At these exciting events, fans will see competitions using customized high-powered vehicles: Monster Jam Speedsters, Monster Jam ATVs, and of course the famous Monster Jam trucks. The scheduled premier athletes and vehicles vying to be the nation’s capital champion are: Grave Digger, El Toro Loco, Pirate’s Curse, Shark, Alien Invasion, Zombie, Monster Mutt Rottweiler, and Blue Thunder.
Approximately 12 feet tall and about 12 feet wide, Monster Jam trucks are custom-designed machines that sit atop 66-inch-tall tires and weigh a minimum of 10,000 pounds. Built for short, high-powered bursts of speed, Monster Jam trucks generate 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower and are capable of speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Monster Jam trucks can fly up to 125-130 feet in distance and up to 35 feet in the air. Seeing these vehicles in action is quite a sight! See our review from a Monster Jam event last year to know what to expect.)

My 7 yr old son loves monster truck but has never seen any live show. He has few monster truck toys and spend lot of toys playing with them making his own stories around them. He will sometime engage his 4yr sister while playing his trucks 🙂 It’s very hard to make any plans for an outside activity in Winters. But this show would be ideal to take him to. I hope to win these tickets for my kids 🙂
My son is 5 and this would be an amazing surprise for him if we win the tickets. I’d be sure to snapchat it and #monsterjam on social media. Thank you for the chance to win. 😀
