CANFIELD -- Motorists on Route 224 Monday and Tuesday got a sneak preview of the Mahoning Valley Motorsports Spectacular.
Some motorists slowed and others stopped to see Draco the Dragonator and the jet-propelled monster truck, G-Force. They were on display in the parking lot of Canfield's Do-Cut True Value hardware store on Route 224.
Draco is a 40-foot-tall mechanical dragon that weighs more than 40,000 pounds. Originally an excavator, Draco is able to crush cars in its jaws and breathe fire.
