JB, its worth staying up!

its the big daddy amercian style.

they had freestyle on it too last night

90 seconds to impress the judges,

they had a piramid set up 2cars 2 busses, a really high truck and the same again on the other side.

one big basty his it and rolled off the side,mangled the entire truck.

then he gets out and is like "yeaaaaaaaaah woooooooo god damn yeee haaar"

in typical amercian fassion, after just trashing a spanking truck.

plus a building in the middle of it wich they all went rumbling through

had old school grave digger there too. remeber that from the 90's :p

website

http://www.channel4.com/sport/microsites/M/monsterjam/


just read that from the engine page, quite beasty.

Custom-built, supercharged and methanol-injected, a monster truck engine burns up to 2.5 gallons of methanol per run (approximately 250 feet). The size of the motor is limited to 575 cubic feet, according to United States Hot Rod Association (USHRA) regulations. The average monster truck team will go through five engines in one year. Average cost per engine: $35,000
