Car pad

A car pad is a set of cars, usually 3 to 6 in number, that our lined up,

usually next to a dirt ramp, for monster trucks to jump over. They are used in racing competitions, with each lane having a car pad that usually marks the finish line. Today, dirt ramps have become the norm for racing courses instead, but car pads are still used often for freestyle, often times mixed with vans.

car pads, as well as vans, are often spray painted a single color.

In 2000, the norm was red and yellow (each car pad in the racing lanes painted each color respectively). In 2001, blue and white was the norm. More recently, purple and yellow has been the norm, although other colors for vans and other crush cars exclusively for freestyle have been mixed in as well,
