A muddy day at Monster Jam University
Learning how to drive a 12,000 pound monster truck in the best way possible-- in the mud.
Emme Hall
I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.
My day at Monster Jam University started out with a very clean truck.
It ended with a truck covered in mud from top to bottom.
In between I got all four wheels off the ground.
OK, I rolled the truck after an enthusiastic donut.
Here's what it looked like from the outside.
And here's what the donut looked like from the inside. I may have gotten just a bit dizzy.
Monster trucks have rear steering, controlled by a switch with a driver's right hand.
No keys needed here -- just a flip of the switch.
The highlight of the day was a big ol' Monster Jam jump.
