Monster Mania 2007

A monstrously good weekend! If you like big trucks, action and noise this is the event for you. The annual monster truck racing event comes to The Hop Farm on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th August when 6 of the massive beasts take each other on and race against the clock. Each race involves a nail biting two jumps, speeding around a 180-degree hairpin turn and over a final obstacle to cross the finish line.
Choose your favourite truck at the start of the day and get ready to do some screaming to cheer on your truck and driver. Fingers crossed the truck doesn’t break down or get stuck when crushing those cars!
Monster trucks weigh in at a massive 5 tonnes each, are 12ft wide, 10ft tall and 18 –20ft long. Each have over 1000 horsepower, many around 1500 – or the equivalent of 2 and a bit Formula One cars!!

All the trucks are fully MTRAE (Monster Truck Racing Association Europe) certified and driven by a MTRAE certified driver. You can even experience the thrill up close and get to meet with all the drivers and trucks at the VIP pit parties each morning. Tickets for the pit parties are bookable in advance at £5pp.

Between racing and car crushing there’s loads more to keep the family entertained. A funfair and action packed motocross freestyle shows will be performing their awesome airbourne stunts and there’s even a beer tent for dads. This is one for the whole family. There’ll also be loads of trade and promotional stands where you can buy Monster Mania merchandise.

To end the day on a real high each driver and truck goes out into the arena and tries to impress the fans the most with speed, huge air jumps and a variety of stunts
