It’s Monster Truck season
My hometown paper is running a story about monster trucks. I’ve been to shows in Texas, and I’ve been to shows in Ohio. The ones in Ohio are fun, but the ones in Texas operate on a whole other level. I suspect my feelings about monster truck shows here match how expat Japanese people feel about USian Sumo wrestlers.
In Ohio, I saw a jeep with a jet engine race around, and a I watched a few big trucks crush a bunch of cars. I have lots of photos of Bigfoots in mid-flight right here. I like this one in particular:
Meanwhile, at the show in Houston, I saw a guy set himself on fire and jump from the ceiling of the Astrodome. I watched a 20-car demolition derby that went on for an hour.
In Ohio, at the end, a giant robot dinosaur came out bit an old jalopy in half.
In Houston, a guy jumped his car off a ramp and flew into a tower of old custom vans.
Here’s a few pics of the robot dinosaur for those that were too square to be there:
In summary, I like Monster Trucks.
