Several bits from this event would be later shown in "Blood, Sweat, and Gears". This includes Tim Arfons on the Kamikaze quad runner, Leadfoot's wheel breaking off, Super Pete getting stuck on the cars, and Bearfoot flipping over.
I spotted Terminator, Barbarian, and The Iron Butterfly in the background. I think I've seen footage of USA-1 as part of introductions at this event too, I wonder if any of those trucks actually competed.
Kind of sad to see the *double pull* concept never really taking off It was cool to see but it obviously had flaws. The teams have no time to service anything and also need to worry about 2 different tracks (to regular people they may seem identical, but track conditions can be completely different each time on indoor events.
Thank Yoiu fro uploading this Monster Truck TV show. Does anyone know, why the Trucks drving that slowly over the cars? Already at that time, Monster Trucks in competitions were driving way faster over the cars to crush.
Would be very nice to see a "nostalgia" class of monster trucks, with this exact configuration. Crushing cars and pulling sleds. Slow and unreliable for sure, but with real vehicles, a lot of chrome, metal bodies and brand identity. Just look how cool is Bigfoot, Leadfoot or Super Pete. Thanks for this video.
+Tim Dudley It is indeed a first generation capture directly from the original TV recording. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to capture and share it.
Was this the show where the sand dragster crashed? I bet they stopped the show and that is why there isn't any more racing and they probably filmed the bridges in the empty stadium after when in before planning it was to still be a full stadium.
@@user-uj3zk2cx8t Mackey Thompson promoted the ushra events back then. It was at a ushra event the accident happened. Never understood why this bracket just ended.
I was at this event lol. 6 years old at the time.

Yep, good catch, they just replayed half of this show for that video :)
This is first race Leadfoot ever ran without breaking a wheel of....oh wait, there it goes.
Wow this is awesome! Thanks for uploading.

Barbarian, Iron Butterfly and USA-1 competed. I think Iron Butterfly and Barbarian may have only competed the second day.

Unfortunately that isn't what puts people in the seats. They want to see back flips, nose stands, 80 feet of air, etc.
@@user-uj3zk2cx8t probably. Man you pay me more attention than anyone else i know.
If anyone has any USHRA footage of USA-1, please post.
Wow, how in the world did you get HQ of this...Looks like it's right from 1st generation copy!

That is awesome! Did you get any more from this year or year before or etc.? Love to see what else you got.
That's all I got from it. Well, I think I got nice quality of the TV version of War of the Monster Trucks too with the extra Taurus feature.
Is it possible to please edit the video and get rid of the no footage from 44:18 til 46:27 please?

It is not. Separate event. Non MT event. Event the dragster was just an exhibition run.
Nope, that was in 1988 and it was a Mickey Thompson promoted event. Not a USHRA production.

No..u s.a 1. Monster truck ?
Did Showtime EVER finish an event without breaking down?
Classic trailer queen that broke down the first time you drove it.
