Monster Jam

A self-described farm boy from Oil City, Penn., Tony Ochs grew up driving off road trucks and ATVs. He didn’t race competitively back then but enjoyed riding off-road vehicles as a hobby. So he should feel right at home at the Q next week when he comes to town with Feld Motor Sports’ Monster Jam, the annual monster truck rally that descends on the Q, turning the arena floor into a racetrack by dumping truckloads of dirt and building a series of jumps and obstacles. Ochs will sit behind the mammoth Soldier Fortune Black Ops, a camouflaged, tank-inspired truck “inspired by the dedicated men and women who serve in the elite special forces branches of the U.S. military.” Performances take place at 2 and 7 p.m. today and at 1 and 6 p.m. tomorrow. Tickets start at $12. (Niesel)
