Saturdays Eve of Destruction at the races was a blast. The grandsons had to check out all 3 Monster Trucks that were there to perform. They were, TailGaotr, Devastator, and Big Dawg. This is a shot of them with TailGator. The trucks did 3 segments as their show. The first was called a show off where they just drove around showing off their power and paint jobs etc. Then they did races as well as a free style section also. Hunter the youngest held his ears as the roar of those engines are very loud. The show was just a little over 4 hours for $15 adult and $5 for kids so for $25 total the whole nights events. Also the food added it came to just under $50 I spent. This was a great family value of entertainment. When was the last time you spent less than $50 for 3 people to have 4 hours of non stop fun?
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Those monster trucks are awesome aren't they and they do put on a really good show. It has been awhile since the entire family was able to do something under 50.00 for a nights entertainment. The race track I used to work for here had the monster trucks come every March and I worked there selling pre-sale tickets for over a week before it started and all during the shows on friday night, sat. night and sunday afternoon so I didn't get to see much of the show but I was allowed to get my entire family in for free each showing and my grandson was able to be here then before he started school. He even was given some souveiners free but we also bought some plus they bought from the concession so they could eat and have something to drink.
We had a head set for my grandson but he didn't use it most of the time. Now me, I love the roar of the trucks and the race cars and I love to feel them vibrate in my chest. hahaha
I am so glad that you and the boys had a good time last night.

Here's a shot of Big Dawg starting his freestyle by jumping a stack of junk cars. I loved the roar and sound of all that horsepower as they started the engines and reved them up. Ooooh yeah baby. I love feeling the ground shake as they pass by. I guess you can tell I had as much if not more fun than my grandsons did.

I just brought up the web site for Elko Speedway and it is a huge race track. I was looking at their schedule of events also and it looks like they keep the crowd entertained. I also saw where they are having another Eve of Destruction on July 5th. Will you be taking the grandson's again? Or will they be taking you? hahaha Looks like they will have different monster trucks there on that night.
I will get back to looking at the site now.
Have a good one.

We haven't been anywhere for a very long time. We are always too busy working or the funds are low or something else takes the time or money from us. I love things like that and it is very enjoyable for the whole family. It has been about 11 years since I have enjoyed a good thrill like that. It is hard to make time since my husband and I both are working seven days per week just to make ends meet right now and buy a few extras we always wanted.

That's a shame. I guess I am lucky I don't have a "real" outside the home job at times. But it is still a great family venue for cheap entertainment here.

I loved taking my kids to the monster trucks! We especially like Grave Digger, is he still around?! Dennis somebody, can't remember his last name.
I'm so glad you take your grandsons out like that. It's so important. And besides, us oldies get to have fun and act like kids!
