I attended that purely American event that we call a "Monster Truck Show" with my 15 y/o son in tow.

I can remeber way back when the Monster Truck first started.
That was the time too go and see them!! Usally outside and all the "runway" possible for the trucks too get to top speed!! Talk about air time! Now they are usally cooped up inside stadiums or arenas where they can't go as fast as they used too  :'( But it understandable why, saftey for one I have seen some wicked crashes happen in outdoor events!
And Demolition Derbys are great too!!!! Nothing like controled car accidents! :)
Great fun for the family and cheaper than a movie! And you don't need to live in a trailer too enjoy them:)

Monster Trucks and Demo Derbys- Not just for Southereners anymore!  ;D
