This involved the drivers showcasing their monster trucks and mingling with the crowd. People can have photographs taken with them, and the drivers sign autographs. The second part of the event is monster truck racing, and the third part is freestyle, when the driver gets to perform for the crowd by doing tricks and stunts.
