truck shows
Venues for stunts, power displays, or competitive spectacles using trucks or construction equipment.
A truck show venue is a site where drivers and operators of trucks and construction equipment perform stunts, exhibit feats of power, or perform other kinds of spectacles and competitive events using the vehicles. They include truck pulls, monster truck shows, truck races, and so on.
The vehicles are operated as part of a spectacle or competition. Truck pulls, monster-truck performances, and truck races are included.
Construction equipment can participate alongside trucks. A static commercial display of parked vehicles has a different purpose from these operated performances.
