Christmas in January

For Christmas we bought the grandkids and their parents tickets to the Monster Jam Nationals.  It was being held at the Assembly Hall in Champaign.  Wow BIG trucks in a small arena.  I always thought the Assembly Hall looked huge but not with those BIG trucks in there.  Notice how close they are when they finally stop.



We had great seats.  Section A row 8 and 9.

These were the little ones driven by a 7 year old, a 9 year old and a 16 year old.  Pretty crazy.

 Star Marshall driven by a 17 year old young man.
 Chalkboard Chuck.  They kids got to sign this one with chalk.
Lucas Oil Stabilizer.  Driven by the father of the 17 year old.

The winner of the night the Raminator driven by a guy from Champaign.

Ear plugs were our friends for the evening.  Everyone had a wonderful time.  Another awesome Christmas present.
 Randoms of the day.  Headed down to meet the drivers.  They are all wondering around in that sea of people.
 Pictures on the red carpet.
 In front of one of the mini trucks.  Even as a mini it was pretty big.
And last but not least cotton candy, yummmmm!
