Within hours of arriving from Paris (France), I was invited by a friend to attend my first monster truck rally. The flyer for the event advertised "A night of good clean family fun!" During the festivities, two factions emerged from the crowd: anti-Ford and anti-Chevy. The beer served throughout the evening did not serve to mellow the mood of the two warring parties. Skirmishes and brawls erupted during the numerous events. The object of one contest required the contender to pull a concrete weight a certain distance. When a winner is determined the crowd goes berserk, and two intriguingly underdressed models appear to congratulate the winner. At this point many observers dressed in costume paying homage to their favorite monster truck. Within the same period of twenty four hours I was visiting the Louvre and attending a monster truck rally. Both were exhilarating.
