Do you know of the best way you could get entertained? Statistically speaking in the United States of America, you would find that monster trucks have ruled the entertainment industry for some time now.
What started with a pickup truck some years ago has now undergone several modifications to be where it is as of today. These monsters appear at Monster truck rallies that happen every year.
Watch these rallies where these monster trucks crush the smaller some things much to your dismay!
This is one of the most popular truck rallies in the United States of America - The Monster Truck Rallies. You would find that the truck driver would have the liberty of doing almost anything that he wishes to do. He could go on a free-wheeling course and do almost any trick he knows that he has up his sleeves. Some things like crushing smaller cars and motor homes may not give you good thoughts but that is what these trucks are made for in the rallies.
As said before, these trucks were built from pick-up trucks. The first monster trucks burst on the scene in the 1970s. When they were first modified to monster trucks, owners had only one objective in mind - How to make them bigger and stronger! You would be surprised to know that some of them even went up to the extent of raising the vehicle into the air. Bigfoot, Bear Foot and King Kong, the first Monster trucks, owned by Fred Shafer, Jack Willman Sr. and Jeff Dane respectively soon went on to become a part of national folklore.
The first time when Monster trucks took part in regular racing was in the 1980s. The USHRA and TNT Motorsports triggered off a series of championships for monster trucks, one of them which went on to be a regular racing every year. In 1988, a new championship was designed by the TNT Motorsports where trucks used fiberglass bodies and lighter axel. This was to ensure better mobility of the trucks.
Soon, these truck rallies became so popular that they were being covered by National Television channels. The popularity of these truck rallies saw a spurt with the National Radio covering these monster truck rallies. By 1990, these truck rallies saw frenetic development in the way how they were covered by various broadcasting channels. A fast talking radio announcer screaming at the top of lungs soon became a permanent part of these races. Soon enough, you could see the popularity increasing for these rallies.
