'NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION' AT VEGAS

The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will present "Night of Destruction" on Saturday, June 11, at 8 p.m. The main attraction of this evening of mechanized mayhem will be the only 2005 Las Vegas appearance of legendary monster truck Bigfoot. Bigfoot and its opponent, Snakebite, will crush cars and compete in a freestyle shootout.

Joining Bigfoot and Snakebite will be Jet Funny Cars and Jet Dragsters, two Fuel Altereds (Nanook/Rick Hough and Impatient/James Generalao), two Alcohol Funny Cars (including local driver Paul Crifasi), the Jelly Belly wheelstander, exhibition dragsters, a car burn (complete destruction of a passenger car by a jet-powered dragster), the Jerry's Nugget Championship Drag Racing Series (local bracket racing) and NHRA Jr. Dragster Series King-of-the-Track championship. Saturday night's show will be capped by a spectacular fireworks display. Whew, that's some lineup.

Say, wait a minute -- monster trucks at a dragstrip? The Agent thought The Strip was an NHRA track. . . . [6-8-2005]
