The space in the arena is limited and the trucks certainly took up what space there was but the drivers are professionals and really knew how to entertain us.
Throughout the event, we watched big trucks jump, roll, clash and crash! We were pretty much deaf by the end of the two hour event, so, for future reference, we suggest EAR PROTECTION if you go! We certainly will take it the next time. You can buy it for $10 a shot! However, a beer is ONLY $7 for a bottle (oh my goodness!).
Well, anyway, what a night we had. One of the "hokie" acts was watching the Transformers battle it out! The perverbial "good vs evil", and of course, good won! The technology was fun to watch and of course the kiddo's (Don included) went wild!
Prior to the event start, the drivers and their trucks hosted a "Pit Party" of which we had tickets for and so we were able to get up close to the trucks and get to know the drivers a little. A great bunch of folks, and all of them very personable!
Sonja is jealous of the "tires and wheels" on the trucks. She loves her jeep but the "33 inch" wheels are not good enough for her! She wants some of those 84" ones! I keep trying to tell her the jeep will NOT fit into the garage if she puts those on! PLUS, imagine her getting into the jeep with some of her short skirts that she works in! Boy!
Anyway, I digress! I hope you enjoy the pictures and short videos. Sonja took some with her camera and I took some with my trusty iPhone. So keep the wind in your sails and never let a mad ardvark ride in the back seat of your car!
Till next time, Gator D is off to a wedding for one of the "drummer" friends that we have here on the island! We are blessed with so many talented musicians to listen to, and for us, this is a treat to see one of the best tie the knot to such a nice pretty lady! Congratulations Nick and Tina of "Deb and the Dynamics".
