Word reaches Biglorryblog that "Monsters are making their way to Essex!" Only calm down dear... It's only a collection of car-crushing monster pickups like this one!

Yes on Saturday 18^th April, Arena Essex at Thurrock will host the Southern round of The UK Monster Truck Nationals. According to the PR blurb: "Europe's most famous names in monster trucking will be racing in head-to-head car-crushing action, including 'Red Dragon', 'Swamp Thing', 'Slingshot', plus current European Champion 'Podzilla' and local favourite 'Crusher'." Oooo... Errrrr...

In addition to the racing, there will also be a full round of monster freestyle, where all the trucks impress the crowd with wild jumps and stunts including 'Sky Wheelies', 'Cyclones' and 'Donuts'. If that isn't enough, the event will also feature one of Europe's top motorcycle stunt riders 'Flyin Ryan' - the master of freestyle motocross, performing giant jumps and extreme stunts.

Road Rat has e-mailed me to say:

"Hi Brian, here are some photos taken at 'York Dragway' (no cross-dressing involved) yesterday. It's a Peterbilt Monster Truck which as you can see makes a large mess of 2 cars. It sounds great too !!! Regards RR."
