at their 7th Monster Jam Event
this time at The Hampton Coliseum
in Hampton, Virginia

(This is page 1 - the Pit Party and introduction to the trucks and
drivers)

This is the
7th time that the two RV Gypsies have enjoyed seeing some of the 12,000
pound trucks and their drivers. If you have not seen the other experiences,
you can go to TOC-M and scroll down to Monster
Trucks. The amazing BIKERS are also included. Then you can return here,
or just continue on down this page now. Most of the monster trucks and
drivers were different on each visit, but some trucks were the same
with different drivers. |

headed off to El Toro Loco and driver, Chelsea VanCleave, but first
they had to wait a few minutes while Chelsea got interviewed by a reporter.
At all the other Monster Jam events Lee and Karen Duquette attended,
these type of interviews were shown on an overhead screen for everyone
to enjoy. But not this time! |
