- Jim Kramer drives bigfoot into one of most violent crashes of monster truck history against Texas Toy driven by Leslie Anderson.
Hooser Dome, Indy. presently known as the RCA dome.
If I remember, after this crash, they started to require roll cages to be installed in all trucks. The cab of the truck was almost fully crushed.
"Higher than he has ever been tonight" haha great commentary
I'll never forget this, i watched the hoosier dome crash live when i was like 8 hahaha that's nuts.
nowadays you get extra points if you flip the truck over and stuff thanks for the post.
When it came to racing Bigfoot was balls to the wall!!
Better get Maaco. Probably didn't have Maaco back then. Damn I miss the 80's.
I love that 70s style f150 on Tex Toy.
back then it was still the Hoosier Dome
It's "buckin' bronco" but the audio makes it sounds kinda screwed up. LOL. This wreck actually drew the attention to Bob Chandler to put roll cages in his trucks and everyone else followed. This was actualy kinda scary...Kramer would have gotten really hurt.
After this wreck, Bob Chandler and the Bigfoot crew realized the need for a bette rroll cage, because very few if any of the trucks had a decent rollcage back then. They went back to the shop and rebuilt the truck with more bars inside to prevent the crushing of the driver's compartment. I was really little when this happened but this wreck paved the way for monster truck technology.
there was a roll cage but it was very simple non cross braced roll cage insede the cab.the reason for jim being alive is that his side of the cage had a brace that minimized an otherwise lethal crash.
This is a very famous racce here.
I remember texas toy would start off slow then was notorious for catching up at the end.
spacecityx I couldn’t believe how fast he got that Detroit movin!!
I was about 3 years old but I actually vaguely remember this. I was such a Bigfoot nut (still am) that I remember being SO UPSET because I thought Bigfoot wouldn't be around anymore. LoL
These trucks are also much heavier than their modern counterparts, where the chassis design not only makes them lighter but inherently strong since the chassis itself forms the rollcage.
I must have been about 8 years old when that happened. I remember that.
remember, this was back when these were actually trucks, that were just modied and lifted, the trucks they use these days are a cage frame with a fiber glass or sheet metal body on it.
almost the very first front flip
bob chandler is the father of monster trucks but jim kramer is the daddy....
did that have a BAR and not a CAGE... wow
This should be Bigfoot 6. According to the BF website Jim Kramer started driving Bigfoot 6 after Rich Hoosier took over driving Bigfoot 4. The first time a Bigfoot truck had ever been crashed was Bigfoot 4 by Jim Kramer in Murray, Kentucky, 1986 (during the national anthem). The second was this crash a year later to the day.
monster trucks are fukin awesome
That was pretty cool
I love that ford body, it's too bad they don't use these oldschool bodytypes anymore it looks way better
Bad habit relapse has an old school ford body and lets no forget grave digger. They look better
I remember, at the time this happened there really hadn't be a wreck this violent in this sport at this point...This is nothing compared to the rollovers that happen on a semi regular basis today with Monster Jam, but back then, this was terrible.
Damn that guy had some luck there...
This double rollover that you are referring to, is this the one that occured when Bigfoot was racing Hercules? If so, that was at a 1988 HART event in Columbus, Ohio.
I think that truck is toast. that's a lot of damage
Nah, it was repaired. Bigfoot 6 continued to compete long after this wreck. Most of the damage was cosmetic.
ahh. 240p we meet again
can anyone correct me on which truck this was that rolled over by the looks of it looks like it’s (bigfoot 7)
bob chandler as well
i thought he said fucking and then i sat there and thought could they say that back then maybe he said bucking bronco but he could have said fucking lol
Remember when Monster trucks were bad then and sex was better?
What style of roll bar did Bigfoot use?
@animefan1238 what about colt cobra/ snake bite? all three are the best imho these trucks these days dont even look like trucks any more like that stupid dog one and a bunch of others
Your right, Grave Digger is way better than Bigfoot. Bigfoot may have started the sport, but Digger perfected it. Boom.
the veeeeeeeeehicle
more like a summersalt
Wich Bigfoot is this
#6
r u serious bigfoot is a ford..come on..
holycrap!!
best
not a front flip
lol!! filming on the tv! xD
how stupid can someone be?!
@animefan1238 Actually Bigfoot, BEARFOOT, Dennis Anderson, and USA-1 were the original 4.
Back then, you didn't wreck the truck..... PERIOD. You waxed the truck, shined the chrome, and expected it to be that way next week.
