ESTEVAN - Monster trucks returned to the Estevan Motor Speedway on Friday and Saturday night for Monster Mania, drawing hundreds of people each night to the track.
The fans – many of them young children – were thrilled thanks to the stunts and the talents performed by the five drivers. The trucks crushed cars, executed donuts and participated in races against each other, but the drivers really had the opportunity to showcase their skills in the freestyle portion, when they performed as many manoeuvres as possible in a few minutes.
Three mega trucks were also part of the entertainment. They were smaller than the monster trucks, but performed the same stunts.
Drivers and vehicles for the monster trucks were Jason Court (Roughneck), Jared Vogel (Crude Behaviour), Krystal Carey (Sabotage), Perry Como (Hellion) and Devin Tardif (Sheer Insanity).
Among the drivers for the mega trucks was David Alexander of Estevan. Local fans were eager to watch him compete.
Fans could get an up-close look at the trucks and get autographs before the events, and people enjoyed rides on the True North monster truck.
The next program at the speedway will be the track championship night on Aug. 23, starting at 7 p.m.
