So I liked all the facts, since ALL of them were new to me!

I can’t believe how much the tires weigh. My favorite fact is that tires alone can weigh 2700 pounds. That’s a whole lot. 4 million fans is a lot too!
“6. More than 4 million people attend Monster Jam events in North America, Canada and Europe annually.”
Hopefully we’ll be included in this number soon! 🙂
Wow! We love Blue Thunder and Grace Digger. I can’t believe how heavy those tires are!!
Now that my son is older, I’m sure that he would be THRILLED to go to another show! He was just telling me about All of the monster trucks…. HE DOESN’T HAVE… Oh, the millions you have are not enough Eh?
We’ve never been, but I know crushing cars would be my boys’ favorite part!! 3000 cars per year is awesome!!
