MONSTER TRUCK weekend double header set for CFS – July 10 & 11
(Shediac, N.B.) — The Centre for Speed (CFS) is pulling out all the stops for its ‘ground rumbling’ double header MAPLE LEAF MONSTER MADNESS 2010 weekend on July 10 & 11.
On Saturday, July 10th at 7:00 p.m., the CENTRE will host a full slate of points championship racing in all four regular stock car divisions along with the Atlantic Open Wheel (AOW) Modifieds.
Then on Sunday, July 11th, the ground will definitely be shaking as Maple Leaf Monster Madness 2010 invades the CENTRE for an afternoon of ‘outdoors and unleashed’ competition featuring side-by-side racing, freestyle, and wheelie competition events. A field of SEVEN top Monster Trucks featuring Crushstation, Eradicator, Backdraft, War Eagle, Screamin Demon, Dominator, and Razin Kane will lay down tracks at the CENTRE for the biggest MONSTER TRUCK show to ever hit the Maritimes!
The large open infield at the CENTRE will feature two-side-by-side ovals complete with “big air” opportunities for the drivers of these Monster Trucks, similar to what fans have seen during the ‘Monster Jam’ events held at venues throughout North-America and featured on Speed Network. Sunday’s event will be the first event of its kind in Atlantic Canada with all sorts of opportunities for the drivers to showcase the awesome horsepower and handling of these awe-inspiring machines.
To round out the two-and-one-half hour show, the event will also include a full suite of additional Thrasher division ‘crash and bang’ action, with a Demolition Derby, Full Contact Racing, an always unpredictable ‘Barrell Race’ followed by a ‘Burnout’ competition with proceed going to the IWK Hospital, with a start time of approximately 6:30 p.m., for one ‘rip roarin’ day of non-stop action.
Fans can check out some of this year’s Monster Truck competitors from the videos and photos posted on the CFS website (www.centreforspeed.com). The site also features action from past Monster Truck shows at CFS.
The full throttle action gets underway at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, with an opportunity for fans to get up-close and personal with their favorite MONSTER TRUCK MADNESS competitors during a photo and autograph session. These 1,800-horsepower car crushing machines will then be ‘unleashed’ at 4:00 p.m. when the action starts with side-by-side car crushing races, freestyle and wheelie competitions.
