CARLISLE, PA April 14, 2004 -– This year's Carlisle All-Truck Nationals takes place on a new date, but everything else truck fans love will return to the Carlisle (Pa.) Fairgrounds on Aug. 6-8. A judged show field with pickups, SUVs, sport trucks, 4x4s, big rigs and more is just the start. See monster trucks Bigfoot and Samson perform to huge crowds all weekend.

Every kind of truck is invited to participate on the judged Fun Field or the non-competition Fun Field. Those wanting to take part in the judged competition must pre-register. Register online for either at www.carsatcarlisle.com/truck or call (717) 243-7855. Awards for the judged show field will be given away Sunday at the Stage. The Big Rig Show Field features the best-looking working and non-working tractor trailers.

Other attractions during the weekend include the Ramp Travel Index (RTI), where you can find out how your truck would do off road; the high/low competition to measure who's got the tallest and lowest trucks; beauty contest; Toyo Tire Burnout demonstration; neon glowoff; and more. Carlisle Events hopes to have a professional rock crawl demonstration as well.

Two of the biggest names in the monster truck world – Big Foot and Samson – will perform stunts near the Grandstand. Toyo Tire sponsors the monster truck demonstration. Also, the Virginia Giant ride truck will be back to give attendees the chance to see what it feels like to ride on a monster truck.
