The Monster Jam series, an event that features humungous trucks racing against one another, takes place each year at the Q, and organizers have just announced details for next year’s event.

The series returns to the Q on Feb. 17 and 18. The competition takes place at 1 and 7 p.m. on Feb. 17 and at 1 and 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 18.

With names such as Grave Digger, Max D, Zombie, El Toro Loco, Womder Woman and Monster Mutt Rottweiler, the trucks are approximately 12 feet tall and about 12 feet wide. They generate 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower and are capable of speeds of up to 100 miles per hour.

New this year: Fans will have the chance to vote for the truck winner in the donut, wheelie and freestyle competitions by participating in real-time, in-arena fan voting on their smartphones.

Tickets go on sale today.

  1. YouTube has a neat video that salutes the era when top pro wrestling organizations sponsored monster trucks…..which can be accessed through the title: “Monster Jam WWE/WCW/WWF Monster Trucks Tribute”.
