My favorite trucks were Chalkboard Chuck and Samson, but I took pictures of several of the trucks and tried repeatedly to snap the perfect picture. {Obviously my perfect pics are a bit fuzzy.}

In addition to the big-honking Monster Trucks we also got to see some daring and dangerous motorcycle stunts!
