A monster truck is a vehicle that was originally just a pickup truck that was modified with a larger suspension and larger tires. Today pickup trucks are still used, however SUV bodies as well as themed trucks are driven and most of the bodies are fiberglass now rather than metal. Themed trucks vary from car bodies, SUV. A competition monster truck should meet the guidelines of being 1. BKT TIRES which were made specifically for the trucks, the weight of each tire is 4. LB. Monster trucks used to be side acts at popular motocross events and mud bogs but today they are usually the main attraction with motocross and mud bogging being the complimentary shows. A monster truck show usually involves the trucks racing each other in a 2v. These events usually consist of racing, freestyle, donut competitions and wheelie competitions.

These trucks can run up and over most man- made barriers, so they are equipped with remote shut- off switches, called the Remote Ignition Interrupter (RII), to help prevent an accident if the driver loses control at any time. The RII works with the trucks computer to allow track officials to shut the truck's engine off in the event the brakes fail or the truck becomes uncontrollable. During freestyle events, only one truck is allowed on the course at a time to ensure safety for both the drivers and fans. Most racing competitions feature two drivers racing each other on symmetrical tracks, with the losing driver being eliminated in a single loss elimination fashion. In recent years, the freestyle event is the last event of competition. Drivers are free to select their own course around the track and its obstacles. Drivers will often perform doughnuts, wheel stands, large aerial jumps and even backflips during this segment. Historically, additional items for the drivers to crush such as motor homes and school buses were frequently placed on the track specifically for the freestyle event. However, incidences of debris flying into the stands and causing serious injuries have influenced most event promoters to turn away from such frail obstacles. Most freestyle courses now consist of overly large jumps and ramps formed to allow the trucks to get excessive air and explosive wheelies upon landing. History. Several truck owners had created lifted trucks to compete in such events, and soon competition to hold the title of . The trucks which garnered the most national attention were Bob Chandler's Bigfoot, Everett Jasmer's USA- 1, Fred Shafer and Jack Willman Sr.'s Bear Foot, and Jeff Dane's King Kong. At the time, the largest tires the trucks were running were 4. In April 1. 98. 1, Bob Chandler drove over cars in Bigfoot in what is often believed to be the first monster truck to crush cars. Chandler drove Bigfoot over a pair of cars in a field as a test of the truck's ability, and filmed it to use as a promotional tool in his four- wheel drive performance shop. An event promoter saw the video of the car crush and asked Chandler to do it in front of a crowd. Initially hesitant because of the . After some smaller shows, Chandler performed the feat in the Pontiac Silverdome in 1. At this show, Chandler also debuted a new version of Bigfoot with 6. At a prior event in the early 1. Bigfoot was still running 4. Bob George, one of the owners of a motorsport promotion company named Truck- a- rama (now the USHRA), is said to have coined the phrase . There are claims that in the late 1. Jeff Dane's King Kong (who referred to his truck as the . Another truck, known as High Roller (currently known as . Cyclops, then owned by the Dykman Brothers, also claims to have crushed burning cars before Bigfoot. However, the earliest, widely available and verified video footage showing a monster truck crushing cars that exists shows Bob Chandler driving Bigfoot while crushing two mid- 1. April 1. 98. 1. This video was what the promoter viewed that motivated him to ask Chandler to perform the car crush in front of a crowd. King Kong and Bear Foot each followed Bigfoot to 6. King Krunch, Maddog, and Virginia Giant were being constructed. These early trucks were built off of stock chassis which were heavily reinforced, used leaf spring suspension, a stock body, and heavy military axles to support the tires. For most of the early 1. In 1. 98. 5, major promoters, such as the USHRA and TNT Motorsports, began racing monster trucks on a regular basis. The races, as they are today, were in the form of single elimination drag races, held over a course littered with obstacles. The change to racing eventually led truck owners to begin building lighter trucks, with more power. The establishment of TNT's first- ever monster truck points championship in 1. In 1. 98. 8, to standardize rules for truck construction and safety, Bob Chandler, Braden, and George Carpenter formed the Monster Truck Racing Association (MTRA). The MTRA created standard safety rules to govern monster trucks. The organization still plays a major role in the sport's development in the USA and EU. With racing taking precedence, several teams began to think in new ways as to how the trucks could be built. Towards the end of 1. Gary Cook and David Morris debuted Equalizer, a truck with a combination of coil springs and shock absorbers as the main source of suspension rather than the standard of leaf springs and shock absorbers. In 1. 98. 9, Jack Willman Sr., now with his own truck, Taurus, debuted a new truck which used a four- link suspension system and large coilover shock absorbers, and that weighed in at close to 9,0. However, the ultimate coup de gr. The truck revolutionized how monster trucks were built, and within a few years most top level teams built similar vehicles. In 1. 99. 1, TNT was purchased by USHRA and their points series were merged. The Special Events championship began to grow in popularity with teams as it had open qualifying spots which the invite- only USHRA championship did not have. The Special Events series lost its Pendaliner sponsorship in 1. The short- lived Pro. MT series started in 2. Even though racing was dominant as a competition, USHRA events began having freestyle exhibitions as early as 1. These exhibitions were developed as drivers, notably Dennis Anderson of the extremely popular Grave Digger, began asking for time to come out and perform if they lost in early rounds of racing. Promoters began to notice the popularity of freestyle among fans, and in 2. USHRA began holding freestyle as a judged competition at events, and now even awards a freestyle championship. The cars have ramps on one side for racing and are left bare on the other side for freestyle. The jumps around the perimeter are for ATV races. Promoters.

Today, trucks now have custom built tubular chassis, with four- link suspension to provide up to 4- feet of clearance and they also now have fiberglass bodies. Mounted just behind the driver on most trucks are the engines, which are typically supercharged and run on methanol, an alcohol and corn- based oil, and have displacement up to 5. L). Axles are mostly taken from either heavy- duty military trucks or road vehicles like school buses, and are modified to have a planetary gear reduction at the hub to help turn the tires. All trucks have hydraulic steering in both the front and the rear (four wheel steering), with the front wheels controlled by the steering wheel and the rear wheels by a toggle switch. The tires are typically . Most trucks utilize a modified and/or custom designed automatic transmission, such as a Turbo 4. Powerglide, Ford C6 transmission, or a Torque- flite 7. A limited number of trucks utilize a Lenco transmission, which traces its roots to drag racing. Most of the automatic transmissions are heavily modified with transbrakes, manual valve bodies, and heavy duty gear sets. Trucks running a Lenco use a centrifugal clutch as opposed to a torque converter, which are used in automatic transmissions. Lenco transmissions are usually found in two- speed or three speed configurations, and are commonly shifted using compressed CO2. Trucks are equipped with three shut- off switches: the RII (Remote Ignition Interrupt), one within the driver's reach in the cab, and another at the rear of the truck so that all electrical power may be shut off in the event of a rollover. Many trucks are constructed with the driver sitting in the center of the cab for visibility. Most cabs are shielded with Lexan (or comparable polycarbonate), which not only protects the driver from track debris, but also allows for increased visibility. Drivers are required to wear firesuits, safety harnesses, helmets, and head and neck restraints. Most moving parts on the truck are also shielded, and high pressure components have restraining straps, both in case of an explosion. Accidents. On January 1. Monster Jam event in Tacoma, Washington a 6- year- old spectator was killed when struck by one of the driveshaft loops, a safety feature to retain the driveshaft, that was crushed on an earlier jump and thrown into the stands. In 2. 00. 9 at the Monster Jam World Finals, the truck Captain's Curse lost its brakes during the run, causing the truck to flip violently when the driver attempted to steer it. The truck eventually landed several rows in the stands of Sam Boyd Stadium, although no one was injured. In 2. 00. 9, the monster truck named Samson was involved in an accident that caused the death of announcer George Eisenhart after he accidentally stepped in front of Samson while it was moving. The vehicle's length can exceed seven meters. Guinness World Record.
