Monster Truck Rallys... ever been???

[Wishing on a star]

DH is thinking of buying tickets to take DS to the Bigfoot Rolling-Thunder monster truck jam when it comes to town. We can still get front row seats. We always said that, at least once, we should take DS to a monster truck rally. And, this should be a good one. I don't think the tickets are cheap. It's kind of a splurge thing, especially it was just Christmas!

DH wants me to go too. (I am not a monster-truck sort of person!! LOL!!!) But, it's one of those things that might be fun to see DS experience.

I told DH that I feel like Jill Taylor (Tim the Toolman's wife)

Has anybody ever been to one of these?

Did your kids really like it?

Ah, yes, I did one Monster Truck rally. Once was more than enough, but the men liked it and the boys did, too.

I have and it was alot of fun. I wouldn't mind going again but I'd definately take some ear plugs it gets really loud. Expect to smell fumes like gasoline and such..it did get strong at one point. I have two boys so this was right up their ally.

Have fun!

THis in our city on Jan. 20th for $18.00 per adult, $5.00 per child under 12. I'm buying tics for my DH and my DS8 for them to go together, it really is a "guy" thing, I don't have any desire to go back....but I wouldn't want the front sections though, cuz I'm such a worrier by nature, that I'm afraid if a truck lost control or can't stop, the lower sections are targets

I just remember the advertisements....SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!!!

Yes on the EARPLUGS

Yes on NO FRONT row plus MID SECTION is a better veiw in my opinion

We have been to a few and enjoyed them. They are very loud though.

Oh goodness!!!!

Thanks everybody. LOL!!! Dan.

I will mention that in our venue, even the front row seats are actually what is called lower-balcony. No way would I want to be on floor level at a monster truck jam!!!

DH has a set of head-phone ear protectors that are used for shooting.... I have already talked to my DS, joking around, that we would bring our ear protectors and be sitting there wearing these things watching the monster truck jam! (no music, of course!)

Definitely a guy thing, but Mom has to try it once. We all went as a family the first time, me, DH, DD, and DS. Definitely take ear plugs!! Half way through, I look over at DD - she's bored to tears, must say, so am I. DS and DH look like kids in a candy shop!! It's been a Daddy/Son outing since then. DS LOVES Monster Trucks!!
