drivers)
|
This is the
third 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. |

This 2024
event featured 8 Monster Trucks and Drivers (listed alphabetically by
truck name)
El Toro Loco and driver Armando Castro
Grave Digger and driver Krysten Anderson
Hotsy and driver Kurt Kraehmer
JCB Digatron and driver Tristan England
Over Bored and driver Jamey Garner
Raminator and driver Mark Hall
Sparkle Smash and driver Kayla Blood
Wild Side and driver Jack Garner

As usual, THE FUN BEGAN WITH THE MONSTER
JAM PIT PARTY - June 30, 2024 - 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Time for the two RV Gypsies to once again see the massive trucks up
close, meet the drivers, and take pictures and get autographs. |
Below: The two RV Gypsies got their first views of
the arena and monster trucks as they prepared to enter the pit party.

from the seats - one Monster Truck in each corner and 4 monster trucks
on the center mound. 8 in total. |

Below: (At a previous Monster Truck event, Karen Duquette
received a flag at the after-event signing where the drivers signed
it. She brought the flag with her to this event and got all eight
drivers to sign her flag because they were mostly different drivers
than at the last Monster Truck event.)
Time for the two RV Gypsies to meet and greet the
drivers by their Monster Trucks, and to get the banner signed once
again. As usual, they headed straight to Grave Digger first.

Once again, the bikers also signed the flag even though they are not
shown on the flag - although they should be. Their act is dangerous
and they are very talented. Josh Headford, TJ Tiffany, Nick Desmond
and Brent Schwalm. |

Below: After
getting the drivers signatures and photos of their monster trucks, it
was time for the monster trucks to drive off the center mound and line
up in their assigned spots. So Lee and Karen Duquette went to find their
assigned seats. |
