Approximately 12-feet tall and about 12-feet wide, monster trucks are custom-designed machines that sit atop 66-inch tires and weigh a minimum of 10,000 pounds. Built for short, high-powered bursts of speed, monster trucks generate 1,500-2,000 horsepower and are capable of speeds of up to 100 mph. Monster trucks can fly up to 125-130 feet (a distance greater than 14 cars side by side) and up to 35 feet in the air.

The United States Hot Rod Association (USHRA) originated in 1978 as a sanctioning body for truck and tractor pulling events, later expanding to produce mud and sand drag racing. The USHRA grew steadily and within its first decade emerged as the premier Monster Truck racing organization. Today the USHRA, together with Feld Motor Sports, produces quality events and involves coordinating competition, defining regulations and technical requirements, setting safety standards and officiating at each event. Whether the USHRA event entails Pro Race Trucks, QUAD WARS, or Monster Trucks, you can be sure the event will be the highest quality show motor sports has to offer, creating unmatched excitement and spectacular memories.
