Monsters at Bonneville

Monsters at Bonneville is a monster truck event held at the Bonneville Salt Flats Race Track near Wendover, Utah. The event is known for having open qualifying, sometimes over 30 trucks would be at one event.
== Event history ==
The Monsters at Bonneville event was first held in 1996 as a joint-venture of promoters Steve and Paul Fotopoulos of California and the owners of the Peppermill casino in West Wendover, Nevada. The Fotopoulos brothers, longtime promoters of events at Bonneville, wanted something more than land speed trials to take place on the Salt Flats. It was decided that a monster truck competition would be the way to go. Extra salt was trucked in from other areas of that part of Utah to build a course very similar to the West Lebanon, NY shows, where the trucks would run side-by-side racing rounds in a straight-line drag race.
