Monster Jam Trucks Tickets Information
Monster Jam Trucks
A monster truck is a large size automobile, and is most often a pickup truck. It is also usually a modified vehicle with large wheels. These trucks are mainly used for popular entertainment. In certain cases, they are featured alongside mud bogging, Motocross races, tractor pulls and car-eating robots. Monster truck shows include a truck that crushes smaller vehicles under its huge tires. Many people get a kick out of seeing destruction of this kind.
Monster trucks have the ability to run up and over almost man-made barriers. They can be operated by remote shut-off switches. These switches are called Remote Ignition Interuptor (RII) that help to prevent accidents in case the driver loses control. For certain events, only one truck can stay on the course. Other events have two drivers racing each other on similar tracks.
Recently, monster truck competitions have wound up with a "freestyle" event. This is believed to be similar to figure skating with giant trucks, in which drivers are free to choose their own course around the track and its obstacles too.
Truck design:
A monster truck is quite a scaled up, four-wheel-drive dune buggy. In a manner of speaking they are not really "trucks" but they get this name because of their huge fiberglass bodies.
A monster truck now has a custom built tubular chassis, and has four-link suspensions to provide up to 4 feet of travel. The engines are mounted behind the driver. These are run on methanol. The axles are from heavy-duty military trucks, and they have hydraulic steering too.
The tyres are often "Terra" tires, and measure 66"x43"x25". They also have an automatic transmission, such as a Ford C6 transmission, Powerflite 727, Turbo 400, Powerglide, or a Lenco transmission.
They also have many safety features. The RII is one of three kill switches on every truck. The other two are within the driver's reach. Drivers are supposed to wear firesuits, helmets, safety harnesses, and head and neck restraints.
Popular culture
Due to their initial popularity in relation to tractor pulls and mud bogs, monster trucks are often seen as a popular truck only among the rednecks.
Monster trucks are very often depicted as a form of motorized professional wrestling. It is common to find names being used for these trucks, as opposed to numbers and sponsors. Very often, there are also accusations of rigged races, particularly because some trucks (like Bigfoot and Grave Digger) are believed to win more often to please the crowd.
Promoters of these monster truck races deny any wrongdoing. Some shows now even display evidence to clear their names. Drivers on teams are thought to hate one stereotype more than the other. Perhaps the redneck stereotype is disliked more than the pro-wrestling stereotype. Drivers are believed to feel unfairly disrespected regardless of their efforts to perform well at the top level of competition. Fans too feel this way, especially for those who feel that this sport should be treated by the media as NASCAR. However, monster truck events for now are taken as a form of "sports entertainment".
