Monster Trucks at the Convo Sunday

The Lucas Oil Monster Truck Nationals invites you to the Bigfoot Birthday Bash and Smash Tour as it roars into the Convocation Center in DeKalb, IL this Sunday, February 22nd, 2015 at 3:00pm (doors open at 1pm).  2015’s visit is the first time monster trucks will return to the Convocation Center in 10 years!

Bigfoot®, the original monster truck is celebrating its 40th birthday in 2015, and the Lucas Oil Monster Truck Nationals is celebrating with a Birthday Bash where families can come help celebrate while watching FIVE of the world’s BEST monster trucks go all-out in crashing, car-crushing, axle-wrenching, high-flying competitions. Joining the fun and making its debut will be RockZilla, a green, fire-breathing fast-moving mechanical creature standing over 10 feet tall and stretching 25 feet long. RockZilla will thrill the audience between monster truck runs with danger-hungry feats that will amaze and delight the families who will attend the special Birthday Bash shows.

Five of the BEST Monsters in the WORLD!

• Lucas Oil BIGFOOT….the ORIGINAL Monster Truck
• Retro BIGFOOT…..paying tribute to 40 years on a New Chassis
• TrueMax BIGFOOT….the dominating racing and high-flying machine
• RAMINATOR….RAM is back in black and driver Mark Hall is ready to defend his 2014 Lucas Oil Monster Truck Nationals Racing Championship
• Rammunition…firing away with a powerful HEMI

Two hours prior to each performance, a special Pit Party will be held in the arena offering families an opportunity to get up-close to the monster trucks, get autographs from the drivers, take photos of the monster trucks that will compete in the thrill show, enjoy interactive displays and celebrate with special birthday bash activities. The Pit Party is included in the price of admission.

Each of these high-powered beasts weighs in at 10,000 pounds-plus defying gravity and the physics of acceleration in loud and furious head-to-head competition. The thousands of horsepower powering these machines will be unleashed in events such as The Wheelie Challenge, Long Jump, Donut Competition, Side-by-Side Racing and the no-holds-barred Freestyle competition.

Mike Moore, President of Family Events – Producers of the Lucas Oil Monster Truck Nationals said, “Every monster truck fan in the world knows that Bigfoot is the truck that started it all. It’s been 40 years of fun and excitement for families everywhere thanks to this amazing machine, its creator – Bob Chandler, and the whole team of Bigfoot pros at the shop in St. Louis. We think it’s time to salute Bigfoot with a big birthday bash and invite families to come celebrate. We believe that a great monster truck show is made by great trucks and with THREE Bigfoot trucks and the elite team from Hall Brothers Racing of Raminator and Rammunition, we’ve put together our best, most competitive lineup ever for the Monster Truck Nationals Tour in 2015.”
