For the first time, Monster Jam®, the world’s premier monster truck series, will bring the Batman™ monster truck to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. John Seasock, the driver of the truck, will be available for photographs and sign autographs for TSRHC patients on Friday, February 26, 2010 at 11 a.m.. A show will be held on Saturday, Feb. 27, at the Cowboys Stadium.
One of the more extreme customized bodies in Monster Jam® today, the Batman™ monster truck closely resembles a Batmobile straight out of the TV or movies. With the triple jet engines sticking out the back, its sleek black color, and huge wings standing high in the air, you get the illusion of movement even when the monster is standing still.
Batman stands approximately 11 feet tall and is 12 feet wide. The truck sits atop 66 inch tires and weighs approximately 10,000 pounds. John Seasock, who is the driver of Batman, is a 15-year veteran of professional monster truck competition.
