Tow truck and snowplow drivers beat the poo poo out of a parked car while trying to get the tractor-plow thing unstuck.

Do they not notice or just not care that they are repeatedly hitting the Explorer?

What i dont understand is why all their cars are toyota camrys or honda accords... if these guys care so little about their cars that they do this why dont they just spend some more and import a proper v8 RWD car so they can really just be complete idiots in it WITHOUT resorting to essentially losing control of the car at 100mph on purpose.

They dont even need to do the importing. You can even see the Buick (aka Commodore) in the video now and then, Holden sells a lot of them in the UAE/Middle East

If the car was RWD, they couldn't do their slides. They stay on the gas while doing that poo poo, so they need FWD.

What you're saying is true, but not the way you're claiming. That Saudi-style drift is easier to pull off by hammering the throttle and just swerving their FWD cars. So it takes less skill (I suppose you could call it safer). If they had RWD, they'd have to have skill to maintain that kind of drift at any speed. I honestly don't know which is worse.

You lucky son of a bitch, you. The last time I got to go on a monster truck ride I was... ten or so? And it was in a parking lot. No donuts or cool poo poo.

Monster Jam events are easily the best bang for the buck in motorsports. You get to meet the drivers, see the trucks, and it's pretty cheap. Make sure to have some hardcore ear protection, like the air traffic controller looking ear muffs. The ear protection helps but your internal organs will be jumbled up from the vibrations if you have good close seats. I actually credit the Air force Afterburner truck with some hearing loss in my left ear.

I was surprised how cheap the tickets are ($15 and $25), and all I have to do to get free pit passes is stop by a local Ford dealer. Ear protection is a gimmie, I've got a nice set of Remington earmuffs for my son and I'll just go with ear plugs. Depending on how well the pit experience goes I may just post a thread with pics.

The drivers have always been really friendly in my experience. I have two girls, 3 and 6, and they love Monster Truck events. If the event is in an enclosed stadium the fumes can get to you depending on the ventilation but the bigger arenas don't seem to have this problem as much.

My guess is they compared it to the V8s to mislead people into thinking that ford has created a truck with a smaller more fuel efficient motor, thats more powerful than the competition.
I haven't kept up to date with this thread, but though two pages late I couldn't let this stand.

The 3.6l TT is smaller, more fuel efficient, and more powerful than the competition. It's not misleading if it's true.

That is amazingly awesome! They welded a set of cylinder mounts onto a stock CBX case. I wonder how they worked out the crank, as it seems they used one crank for all 12 cylinders.

This really makes me want to try to make a V-8 using CR500 cranks and cylinders. A 4L with a redline of ~8000 RPM, and something like 600 hp. Sounding like a swam of wasps would only make it better. One day...

Some of the best race car sounds could be heard in the Mulsanne Straight in Le Mans when it still was a straight. Just glorious. Note that some of the cars emit so much RF interference that the camera records just static for a while when they come close enough.

(The same clip can be found from Youtube but there's something wrong, it doesn't seem to play right unless you download it and play it with an external video player).
