Monster trucks rev up engines for El Dorado County Fair
On June 18 in the arena at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds, WGAS Motorsports Entertainment presents the Truck Pull & Extreme Free Style Moto X Spectacular with shows at 2pm and 7pm.
Founded more than 30 years ago by John Borba, who grew up on a dairy farm in Central California, WGAS is now based in Cool and is California’s leader in tractor and truck pulling events. Fans can expect to see 4X4 truck pulls from street to super stock classes. Plus, professional free style riders Jeff Griffin and Garrett Allf will perform “sick tricks and back flips” on motocross motorcycles, just like in the X Games.
Monster Truck rides will be offered in conjunction with the show at the El Dorado County Fair in Placerville. Ticket holders to the 2pm show can take a free Monster Truck ride from 1-2pm on June 18. Rides will also be offered after each show and before the 7pm show for $5.
Admission to the 2pm show is $12 for adults and $8 for juniors. Admission to the 7pm show is $15 for adults and $9 for juniors; entry to the fair is included.
The 2011 El Dorado County Fair is June 16 to 19 in Placerville. For more information, call (530) 621.5860.
