Just wondering if anyone is goin to the monster truck thing in Waterloo tonight? A buddy, his son, my son and I are going.. If anyone is and you see a guy with a Dale Jarrett jacket and a Ford racing cap, it's probably me

 

Didn't make it there... too far for me.

Your post reminded me of the time I took my boys to one at Vets in DM 10 years ago. They were all excited - until it started. Too loud and the exhaust bothered them... they were too young for it. I kept buying trying to bribe them so I could enjoy it, but we ended up leaving half way through the show.

 

My son just loved every minute of it I took him a set of earplug so the noise wouldn't bother him..

It was a rather long ride for him (just over an hour) on the way there, but he was excited. He slept all the way home though

 

sounds fun, im glad he had fun, getting him started young.

 

in waterloo, do the trucks have some room to run? i saw the monster trucks at "The Mark of the Quad Cities" a while back, and it was pretty lame due to the lack of room...the "Outlaw Nationals" at the mississippi valley fairgrounds is usually entertaining...they kinda mix it up with the monster trucks, tough trucks, quad racing, and/or motorcross freestyle stuff...

 

No room at all They where in McElroy Auditorium... The one truck hit the ceiling during free style But it was fun and the lil dude loved it

 

well, that's all that counts... glad you had a good time...

 

I've seen Monster jam in Vet's auditorium in DesMoines which was pretty lame due to the lack of room, but Monster Jam put on a pretty good show when I saw it in Mineapolis at the Metrodome.

 

I bet that was great. The metrodome is a really good size for it. I've been in there quite a few times, but never for Monster trucks.
