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?
