Regular trucks are so passé. I mean, when I pass by a Dodge Ram on the I-35, its bulky exterior rarely ever has huge cartoon teeth jutting out or dragon scales airbrushed over the driver’s side door. Thank the car gods for the rev’d up freaks poppin’ wheelies this weekend as monster truck mania hits Austin. See favorite four-wheelers like Grave Digger or El Toro Loco fly through the air among many other icons of the genre like Sparkle Smash. Plus, up the vehicular mayhem by snagging a spot at the Pit Party, where families can meet drivers, engage in fun activities, and meet the real stars, the big ol’ trucks. – James Scott
