They’re kind of a waste of money. You pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge.

On a serious note, we do get them at the Verizon Wireless arena in Manchester, NH from time to time (perhaps twice a year.). Super fun to go to. Not sure about Portland.

They usually have one show a year in Bangor at the cross center and I’ve been to one at speedway 95, I think they have a show every summer.

I went to one at the Cumberland County Civic Center probably 8 years back.

They roped off the first 15 rows of seats so the trucks would have a crash buffer.

The trucks didn't seem to have enough room to accelerate to do the better stunts.

They didn't have alternators so the drivers spent half their time charging their trucks back up and fighting over the lone extension cord. The trucks look like they'd seen better days-- their tires looked like they dug them out of a playground.

Kids had a chance to meet the drivers before the show, mine didn't quite know what to do.

But at the end of the show this dinosaur thing that shot flames came out and cut a car in half, which made it all worthwhile.

It must be expensive for them to tow and lug all of that junk around?

Portland gets them occasionally though I think Manchester is more reliable

Some of the fairs will have them during the summer as well. Pretty sure Cumberland and Topsham fairs have done it.

A year or two ago they visited Beech Ridge in Scarborough just before it closed. The year before that, they were in the Cross Insurance arena. They come around, you just need to keep an eye out.
