The 2006 Philadelphia Monster Jam at the Wachovia Spectrum almost didn't happen, as the much talked about winter storm hit the area, dropping roughly a foot of snow on the city.  But that didn't stop the USHRA from putting a great show, and it didn't stop our own Dave VanArtsdalen from digging out of the snow and braving the conditions to show his family and friends a great time at the Spectrum.

Enjoy some of Dave's teaser shots, full coverage and many, many more pictures to come soon!!
