- I recorded this on VHS tape in 1986! Bigfoot, King Kong III, Hercules! Some of the first USHRA monster truck racing ever on ESPN! I was in total awe seeing Jim Kramer actually getting all 4 tires off the ground. Mike Gallaway and Steve Physioc are your announcers! Hope this brings back some memories!
Big foot will always be the king of the monsters
Jim Kramer be like, don’t mess with the King!
Bigfoot is always #1!!
No better paring of truck and driver ever existed than Bigfoot #4 and Jim Kramer in my opinion. Even though Andy Brass and Dan Runte have both made names for themselves, no one beat Jim Kramer, he really pioneered racing and aggressive driving in this sport. And Bigfoot #4 was just the truck for him to do it in. It was much more solid and race worthy than any of its competitors in those days.
Isnt this Bigfoot #2?
@@Ubeer85 No this is #4. At this time I #2 was still using the same 1973-1979 body style as Bigfoot #1 and it didn't get a makeover until around 1987, Bigfoot #3 and #4 were the only ones to use the 1980-1986 Ford truck body style.
Thx for answer. I thought only the #2 had the white rims but now i know
@@Ubeer85 No problem! Glad to help.
@@Ubeer85 And knowing is half the battle..... G I JOEEEE !!! LOL. Not trying to be a jerk, but it was there, had to be done.
The good old days no fire suit or helmet just go out there and get some LOL
Jim Kramer was wearing an open face helmet
Bigfoot is the best name in monster trucks! Love the old school monster trucks!

Beautiful just beautiful stuff crazy how slow they moved but amazing at the same time love those old monster trucks
I had this on VHS taped off TV too
Love it, sticking their head out the window to see if they are lined, regular seat belt and Im sure a few beers in ice chest next to the tool box
Short wheelbase monsters always looked a bit awkward to me lol
No helmets like a boss
6:18 serious air for the time
I had a poster of Hercules as a kid!
I had King Kong when it was the blue and silver mid 70s Ford and I also had a poster of that monster truck Peterbilt, Super Pete? I think that was his name it was so long ago now
me too bigfoot at the superdome poster
my fave
No helmet... total badass
Driver of Bigfoot was wearing a helmet
Amazing! Thank you!!
5:50 bigfooooot
Awesome trucks. Back when monster trucks were great. Not fiberglass shells. Bob Chandler had the right recipe. Bigfoot was lower than the other trucks and the fenders were cut out. Not stock fender openings. That truck was made to run
never noticed the odd drive set up on Hercules
He ran drop boxes into the five tons to account for the driveline angle.
Bearfoot had rotated Corvette differentials and they went directly into the top-loader heavy 5 ton axles. Hercules and Kodiak had drop boxes instead of rotated diffs that fed into the 5 tons. At this event, King Kong III was still fresh, Jeff Dane didn't have time to install rear shocks on Kong.
lol wow no helmet, people standing on track lol holy cow
People all over the track haha skip to 7:19
I was just thinking about that. Don't and won't see that anymore.
BIGFOOT!!! 🇺🇲
The engine smoke was the most obvious issue but that front end got smacked around too, something broke loose on that last jump but it was hurt before that.
Rough track, geometry for damage.
The smoke from Bigfoot #4 after the hard landing was caused by a blown hydraulic line, fluid sprayed onto the engine causing the smoke display.
5:48 was that necessary
