  • 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!

    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.

    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

      He ran drop boxes into the five tons to account for the driveline angle.

    • @OSDCrusher
      @OSDCrusher 5 лет назад +5

      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.

    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.

    • @OSDCrusher
      @OSDCrusher 5 лет назад +4

      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.
