This weekend, come see the ”Thrasher “ Monster Truck sponsored by Porter and Chester Institute take on “Grave Digger” and the “Batman” trucks of Monster Jam.

Monster Jam is a family-friendly experience starring the biggest performers on four wheels.  These twelve-feet-tall, ten-thousand-pound machines will bring you to your feet, racing and ripping up a custom-designed track full of obstacles to soar over – OR smash through.

Monster Jam provides a massive night’s entertainment and these colorful, larger-than-life beasts are sure to capture the hearts of both young and old.

We will have the Acura NSX, one of our student project cars, on display and the PCI booth located at guest services both days. Stop by to register win a Skyline T-shirt.

Join us for our Free Automotive Workshop on Tuesday March 9th  from 4-6pm.

We will be teaching basic automotive skills that’ll save you time and money. This workshop is designed for people who have little to no experience working on cars, so everyone is welcome.

Learn the basics of how to:

  • Change your oil
  • Rotate your tires
  • Check the air pressure in your tires
  • Change your wiper blades
  • Replace your exterior lights

These activities could save you hundreds of dollars if you buy the parts and do the work yourself rather than pay a shop for their labor. The workshop is free and there is no need to preregister, so feel free to invite anyone to come with you.

When: Tuesday March 9th from 4pm – 6pm

Where: The Rocky Hill campus of PCI
