What is the Big Sky Truck Fest Happening in Billings?

When we travel our city streets we often meet up with large, semi-tractor-trailer combo vehicles at a stoplight.  After the light turns green, you quickly pull away from them in your sporty ride.

But what if you were suddenly faced with a 3000-horsepower beast that was able to do a burnout with all eight of the rear tires?  Yellowstone Dragstrip is hosting some of those hot rod semi-trucks in August and they might just surprise you how quickly they could leave you in the dust.
