One of my favorite races, so great to see it in whole. My word, the air USA-1 gets is insane, what other Motorsport launches 10,000 pounds of leaf sprung truck 20 feet up and 80ish feet across 12 cars. Compared to later record breaking jumps , USA-1 still has the stock Chevy 1 ton 3500 frame, beefed up of course. And the Only high technology on the truck was probably the ignition and Rod Litzau’s driving. Not to discredit the other trucks though. John Moore ran hard, 20:06 No Problem would’ve won that match against anyone else that day, except USA-1. I could go on, thanks for posting.
The 1988 USA-1 was the first truck to utilize a Profab quick change transfer that allowed for a higher gear ratio. Further more, the truck was one of the very few that was able to run straight off the axle without planetaries, thus allowing it to achieve greater speeds.
@@tsmitty777you sure the axle broke that day? According to Litzau, the bell housing on the transmission cracked in half down the middle from the pressure of the bounce and then the transmission went out. I know he broke an axle on one of the closed arena courses against bigfoot, but I'm not so sure it was an axle that broke that day
Tomsterstuff, Thank you so much for posting the whole video. troymcclurefan had this posted back in 2010, but he cutted out the pulling parts & it was posted in 4 parts. Also, it was the last video he ever posted. He hasn’t posted any videos for 13 years. There is a 2nd event of Milwaukee 1989 & only the Powertrax version of it is posted. I hope you have the Tuff Trax version of Milwaukee Show 2 & that you can post it here in its full running time. Also, I still hope you have Toronto 1989 Shows 1-3, Long Island 1989 Show 1, Chicago 1989 Show 1, & Nashville 1999 Week 2. I even found out that there are other 1989 videos that are either missing parts or aren’t even on here. They are 1.Louisville Motor Speedway Show 2 (TUFF TRAX) 2.Fishersville,Va Show 1 & 2 (TUFF TRAX) 3.Atlanta,Ga Show 3 (TUFF TRAX) 4.TNT 1989 Year In Review Part 2 (TUFF TRAX) Good luck finding these, Tomsterstuff. Hope it won’t too take too long & too hard to find them. I might as well call you the Monster Truck Video Archiver, because of you posting full or missing monster truck videos that fans like me haven’t seen on RUclips before. I hope you never stop posting until every video you have is posted on here. As I always say, I look forward to seeing the next video, Tomsterstuff. Hope it’ll be another video that’s not on here.
You're very welcome! Thanks a lot for the valuable information! I'm pretty sure the 2nd Milwaukee Tuff Trax is next on this tape, and I'm pretty sure I have some more of those missing ones, since I really followed the "TV Guide" closely back then! Thanks for the continued support and info! 🏁😎😎🏁
@@TomsterMusic I’ll keep it up until every video you have is posted on here. I look forward to seeing the next video you’ll post, Tomsterstuff, The Monster Truck Video Archiver.
I would’ve like to have seen Dennis Anderson in the late 90s pilot the 88-89 USA-1. Rod drove the wheels off that truck, I just wonder if a seasoned Dennis could have helped the truck stay competitive longer

"Bowling Green", is where St. Patrick invented the Bowling Alley, is why it is called "Bowling Green." St. Patrick's Bowling Partner, St. Kent, was a sucky Bowler, is why "Kentucky."
Love rewatching these real monsters trucks racing!

@@orangecrate5895that of course meant that they broke a lot of axles, as they did here on Day #2.
