Big Truck: Grinder pt.3 (Video)

Earlier this evening, I posted pictures from the parking lot of Advance Auto Parts, of the monster truck, Grinder.

I understand that the truck had been in the parking lot for a good part of the day, and with the weather being in the 50s, the guys from VA were very happy not to be met by very cold weather or snow.

I must say that the guys who were responsible for the truck and greeting fans were some of the coolest cats. They answered the kids' questions, signed autographs and posed for pictures...all with a smile.  I can only imagine that after doing that for 4-hours, you're tired, and all that you can think about is having a good meal, a few drinks and relaxing before an action-packed weekend.

The DCU Center is playing host to Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam, taking place Feb. 18-20.

So, here are a few videos that I shot with my phone, and, in both of them, you can hear the engine roar and see how a truck with 1,500 horsepower gets in and out of it's trailer.



And, in this second video, you'll see that Grinder has been outfitted with smaller tires so that it can fit into the trailer.
