By Ellsworth Boyce, NJ.com blogger Residents of Central New Jersey may want to pay particular attention to where they park their car this week. They needn't worry about parking tickets, or being towed, but, rather, the return of a fire-breathing, car-eating monster known as "Robosaurus". The 42 foot tall, 30 ton, half-dinosaur, half-robot, makes a return visit, this Wednesday, to Raceway Park in Old Bridge, New Jersey, for the 41st Annual PC Richard & Son Summer Motorsports Spectacular.
This Wednesday, at Raceway Park, can truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for both kids, and adults alike. The "Robosaurus" is an amazing, technological marvel, that can only be actually appreciated in person. The seemingly ordinary looking trailer, while traveling on the road, unfolds into a dinosaur-looking robot that not only breathes fire, but eats full-size cars. "Robosaurus" will simply amaze with it's ability to pick up a car in it's "hands", bring it to it's "mouth", set it on fire with flames from it's "nostrils", and then bite it in half. While there are numerous videos of this machine in action on YouTube, it is only in person where you can feel the heat, and hear the noises associated with it's performance.
As if, a car-eating dinosaur isn't enough action for you on a Wednesday night, the PC Richard & Son event also brings you Monster Trucks, Jet Cars, and more. There will also be nitro-powered Harley Davidson motorcycles, Funny Cars, and even child-favorite characters.
The Monster Trucks scheduled to appear are,Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Stallion, and Viper. They will be joined by a Monster Truck School Bus, with working lights, and the most well-known Monster Truck of all-time, Grave Digger. The trucks will race on a course filled with junk cars, which they will have to jump over as they make their way down and back the course. They will also participate in a freestyle stunt show, where fans determine the winner by applause.
Raceway Park will also present four jet cars, all capable of exceeding 280mph on the quarter-mile track. These cars, with their flames and smoke, are a visual experience as much as their sheer speed is shocking. They will be joined by nitro-powered Harleys, and many other types of racecars, in fact, you may see anything from a station wagon to a snowmobile going down the drag strip.
So if you really want to see something that can truly only be appreciated in person, head out to Raceway Park, this Wednesday night. Just be careful where you park your car!
Spectator gates open at 5pm, with the featured show scheduled to begin at 8pm. Admission is $30 for adults, $10 for children(6-11), and kids under 6 are free.
