You will be able to grab your food, drinks and monster jam merchandise before the start of the show. Foods include barbecue, skewers, baked potatoes, dipping dots and even churros!
Monster Truck Competitions at Monster Jam Salinas 2016
There were 4 main monster truck competitions during Monster Jam Salinas 2016. Race, Wheelie, Donut and Freestyle…
Timed Race
During the timed race, 2 monster trucks would race against each other and the winner would proceed to the next round until the final winner was declared. The winner was Gas Monkey for the timed race for Monster Jam Salinas 2016!
There were 2 female drivers at the competition. Unfortunately, Wild Flower bowed out almost immediately when her race begun. Scooby Doo (the other female driver) on the other hand, put up an awesome fight against the boys out there! Scooby Dooby Doo!

Wheelie
Wheelie as the name suggests is where the monster trucks would use the ramps to assist them to land on the back wheels. Thereafter, they would continue for as long as possible on only 2 wheels. The winner of the Wheelie competition during Monster Jam Salinas 2016 was Max D!
Besides the winner, one truck that stood out was Backwards Bob. He actually did all the competitions backwards! Meaning, he would reverse into the ramps, “hang” in the air and even drift backwards!

Donut
The Donut competition involves the monster truck going round in circles and as a result of that manoeuvre produce a pattern in the sand, in the shape of a donut. For real! Check out these videos!
Freestyle
Freestyle was probably the highlight of Monster Jam Salinas 2016. Each monster truck would try their best to impress the judges by doing various tricks and stunts within a stipulated time. The winner? Max D who did an unbelievable save at the last minute to win the competition as the last driver! Probably the save of the year! And of course, perfect scores all round for this amazing freestyle routine!
