Monster trucks set to roar this weekend at the WFCU
They are big, they are loud, and they are coming to Windsor – it's the main event: Monster Spectacular 2025 at the WFCU Centre. It's a cross-Canada pro tour making a stop in Windsor on Saturday, June 14th at 1pm. The event promises astounding stunts by monster trucks, high-flying freestyle BMX competitions, dirt bike performances and unique wheelie contests. It's family friendly - with tickets still available for the event up until showtime, including VIP pre-show access passes for an up-close look at the machines and drivers before the event kicks off. For professional monster truck driver and tour champion Michael Vaters – and his powerful, big machine 'Overkill Evolution' – it's always a thrill to take the show on the road across North America and around the world. Vaters has something special planned for the show Saturday. 061325 - car show Michael Vaters Jr. is the tour champion alongside his monster truck Overkill Evolution - they perform June 14 at the WFCU. (Gary Archibald/CTV News Windsor) 'We start the show out with the skills or best wheelie competition,' said Vaters. 'Then we go into a side-by-side racing competition where we just pretty much drag race over the cars and then to finale the event, we do a freestyle. Each truck will go out for 90 seconds on their own and put on the best show that they can.' Vaters comes from a professional stunt driving family. From 1993 to 1998, Vater's mom Pam Vahle was a professional monster truck driver – a pioneering woman driver in a male-dominated sport. Michael Vaters Sr. – Michael's father – is one of the most recognized names in the sport, and for decades has performed the circuit. Vaters Sr. is the owner of Vaters Motorsports and performs with his son in his custom big wheeler – Black Stallion. This family-friendly event also includes super modified lawn mower races, a motocross backflip and a BMX performance by three-time x-games champion, Mike Varga.
