While the Shepparton Showgrounds is no stranger to burning rubber and screeching tyres, having hosted Spring Car Nationals, it was a different kind of car show on display over the weekend.

The showgrounds played host to the Shepparton Monster Truck Festival across Saturday and Sunday, and News photographer Megan Fisher was on hand to get snaps of all the action.
