The 12th annual Big Rig Truck Show is coming back to Eau Claire on Aug. 19-20 and a hot new feature will be part of the show.

The Big Rig Truck Show will have semi-drag racing, a light parade, a trade show, food vendors, trucks you can climb inside, as well as a brand-new attraction: the AFTERSHOCK Jet Truck. What is an AFTERSHOCK Jet Truck, you may ask? It’s a 1940 Ford Fire Truck with 24,000 horsepower and can get up to 407 MPH – and yes, fire shoots out of it.

You can also camp on the grounds and visit kids zone for the little truckers. Get fired up – and geared up – for this fun family weekend!


The Big Rig Truck show will be held at the Rock Falls Raceway (N1790 1000th St.), about 9 miles west of Eau Claire, on Friday and Saturday, Aug 19-20. To learn more and to buy tickets, go to bigrigtruckshows.com.
