Took my son to another show this weekend at the Buck Motorsports Park in Lancaster. We went to the Linc (yes, Eagles stadium) in Philly last month for a BIG show that will be on SPEED Channel soon.

What's not to like about a 5-ton truck with an 1600-1800 HP big block Ford or 572 Chevy engine? They sound amazing...like a muscle car but 5 times louder.

From the Philly show:

Check out the awesome save starting after the wheelie at about 0:20.



After 1:00 gets good.




From this weekend:





These guys have some driving skills to control a 10,000-pound vehicle like this.
That is crazy I was there too! I sat near the Chicken Strips stand. My son went for the first time, he loved it but still loves baseball more.
