Wheels: Monster and Jam

wheels: Gauthier, who became the first female Canadian Monster Jam World Finals winner, told CTV News Channel she easily fell in love with the sport, according to CTV. It's more technical than people think, she said. But the loud engines and big wheels of a monster truck were too much to steer away from. Gauthier is one of the female drivers who'll make an appearance at the Monster Jam in Toronto later this month at the Scotiabank Arena. What most people might not know is that drivers control the front and back wheels separately. A Monster Jam truck weighs approximately 5,400 kg -- with 360 kg wheels -- and typically runs on 1,500 horsepower. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
