I totally get it! Boys and their trucks smashing and ripping across my living room floor….it completely makes sense now!
Tonight I had just the best FAMILY time in quite a while. It was loud and smelly and dirty if you sat too close and I just LOVED IT! You could FEEL the cars and trucks as they revved up. It was awesome!
This show is not the show of last year! There were MANY new additions to keep you on the edge of your seat!
There we all our favorites there and some we hadn't heard of that quickly became our new friends.
Backdraft is awesome! If you have a kiddo who loves firetrucks they will fall in love with this one! The lights and action are too much!
The Instigator.....need I say more? We all have one we love that fits this name right?
I love to watch the racing part when it's as simple as who can cross the finish line first.
They were completely aware of the littles sitting in the audience and were quite tame even during their “fights.” This Momma Bear appreciated it that! As a matter of fact there was a fan who was not being as family friendly as the ushers would like and he was spoken to immediately! I loved it!
There was a quad race between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia teams. Even though the teams talked trash they kept their eyes on the little ears paying attention. It is probably the most family-friendly event that is meant to entertain kids over 6.
One of the new additions was the Megasaraus! He is an awesome fire-breathing engineered robotic dinosaur that destroys a car right before your eyes! It was crazy!
Then we were treated to what we thought was a joke. A little itty bitty SMART car that they kept warning us was the loudest part of the show. We thought they were just joking with his wittle horn....UM NO THEY WERE NOT! You MUST...even grown ups...have ear plugs or more for this one! It is equipped with a jet engine out of a helicopter! It goes 130 miles per hour and has 1500 horsepower! It shoots fire and heat throughout the arena! You will be like, "What in the what was that?" A pea sized power punch is what that is!
We do love the freestyle the best though! These cars just let loose! They spin and jump and sail through the air. It's what my kid does on the living room floor only with real live cars!
Monster Mutt...Who let the dogs out?
The new Zombie!
And the very cool Rap Attack!
Look at my little baby trying to look so old here! He had such an amazing time and he thinks I am the coolest mom on the block for getting him tickets. Let's just ride this train as long as we can ok people?
And last but not least...the drivers. So nice and they went into the stands several times to give stuff away. It was great to get up close and personal with such talents! You must go and enjoy...AFTER YOU GO BUY EAR PLUGS!
