Parkes Phoenix

Monstrously Good Entertainment

The giants have arrived for the first time in Parkes, and there are six of them! Ultimate Monster Action is gearing up to give Parkes an action packed show that will get the adrenaline flowing to drive all the winter chills away. Professional Monster Truck driver, Troy Garcia said the show would go on come rain or shine. “The wetter the weather, the more fun we have!” he joked. He is expecting a crowd of about 3,000 people who will watch every jump of the roaring monsters, as well as a host of other blood chilling stunts.

Hosted by Adam Brand, 12 times Golden Guitar winner, the freestyle motocross bikers will do some insane stunts, while the jet car will light up the sky with its after burn mode. Adding extra explosive action will be the gigantic firework show. There will be rides in a 3-metre-high monster truck from 1.30pm when the gates at the showgrounds open which will cost $10 per person. The main show will start at 4pm and last for about two hours. “It is a great event for the whole family,” said Troy.

Monster trucks were first built in the United States about 40 years ago to crush cars. “The latest models are able to do much more, such as racing, wheel stands, jumps in the air and other free style moves,” said Troy.

Get your tickets at the gate or online at www.monstertrucks.net.au.
