Hope you planned for rain! Wow...I thought it was kinda funny. I've never seen anyone "tailgate" for a Monster truck show before. I've been to quite a few, but hey...it was in Washington State.

Wow did that suck. Rain wasn't too bad, but the field was all mud and the trucks just couldn't get going, stopping or turning.

We had planned for rain, thankfully. Even if we didn't, there was 1 million idiots selling ponchos for the unplanned people

We always tailgate for the Monster Jam. It's been an on-going tradition for me and my friends/family for the past 5 years or so. Great times too. Cookout, hang out, whatever. There was some candid moments that were suitable for a "Girls Gone Wild" video too

But definitely the weather had a serious effect on the trucks. Made the track super slow, and many of them had the wrong tire setup(s) on the truck - so they were snow plowing when turning / stopping. However, El Toro Loco and Max D kicked some serious ass. Grave Digger was a bit of a let down (no Adam Anderson ) - but he still put on a decent show.

All in all, we had a great time. Wet, cold, windy - it was still a fun event!

It sounds positivly miserable to me. Of course, I HATE the cold. Thats why I moved to Florida. LOL Glad you had a good time.

I say picsorban though about the Girls gone wild moments.
