I'm hoping that I might be able to get some help working on this subject. Although I'm not a rabid fan, my son is.  :) I'd like to get the trucks in and clean up this article. Additionally, I'd like to see about getting a standard infobox created for the trucks. If anyone can help, please let me know. Wikibofh 00:02, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Monster trucks and rednecks

I'm making the request to stop adding in links to redneck articles in this article. While I do not object to the "rural residents" part of the article, classifying monster truck fans as rednecks is POV in my opinion. Arenacale 00:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Much of this article is a point of view and does little for people who aren't already knowledgable about the subject. If you have evidence backing up some of your statements, please cite them instead of ranting about how you think the shows are/not rigged and why you think it resembles professional wreseling in some way. 67.168.188.248 09:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I am surprised to learn that the term "Monster Trucks" has come into the vocabulary of certain Dubliners. What are the reasons for this? It makes no sense but is interesting nonetheless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.104.2 (talk) 22:00, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Class definition? Incentive structure

Are there regulations defining what a monster truck is for competition purposes? For example, I'm sure active suspension would help a monster truck, but I don't believe they have them. Also, is there documentation about the incentive structure for drivers and teams? How are teams funded and what incentivizes them to do things that run a high risk of damaging their vehicles? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 23:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
