The 2009 Carlisle All-Truck Nationals is one of the largest specialty, off-road and collector truck oriented events in the world. Representing all aspects of the collector truck hobby will be over 2,000 trucks, everything from Mini Trucks with the frames dragging the street to Monster Trucks crushing tiny compact cars.
In an uncertain economy, many people are looking for inexpensive things for the entire family that are close to home. Carlisle Events is trying to give families that option at this year's All-Truck Nationals, with admission cost of only $10 and kids under-12 free. One of the standard favorites for the entire family at the All-Truck Nationals is the monster truck shows and rides. Trucks, The Virginia Giant and Bad News, from the Monster Jam circuit will be at the All-Truck Nationals putting on shows and giving rides to families throughout the weekend. New to this year's All-Truck Nationals will be Megasaurus - a fire-breathing, car eating transformer. Megasaurus will be performing on Friday and Saturday, in conjunction with the monster truck shows. Also, new this year will be an antique fire truck display. Two local fire engines from Boiling Springs and Carlisle fire companies will be on-display inside of Building T, along with other highlight invitational trucks.
