A Monster Truck Wars production.
The ultimate monster truck throwback event for the 1989-1990 Tuff Trax Series. As many of you know, these events helped monster trucks become an attraction of live entertainment for kids and adults of all ages.
In April 2022 we brought back six of the original competitors to compete one more time to finally “settle the score." The drivers in 1990 competed in 15k pound, 8 inches of shock travel, and 800 horsepower trucks. This time, they piloted 10k pound, 30 inch shocks, and 1,500 horsepower machines 💪
We had a huge turnout, 25 total trucks and plenty of special guests, and the drivers put on an amazing show. Now, we're thrilled to be able to share it with monster truck enthusiasts all around the country. Enjoy!

It’s so nice to see actual trucks and not 4 wheeled superheroes and cartoon characters
Hearing Scott comentate gives me 8 more years of life.
Hearing Scott Douglas commentate is nostalgia to the max. The voice of monster jam at its peak. Dude kept me glued. So happy y’all made him part of this beautiful event.
I grew up watching every single one of these guys. Thanks to the influence of Tuff Trax broadcasts I now work within the industry. It PAINED me to have to miss this and work the Philly Monster Jam that weekend but watching this broadcast brought a tear to my eye to relive it. WELL DONE to everyone involved with this and i can only pray for an Unfinished Business II someday somewhere.
This was well done and it was missing five of the more famous trucks that were a part of TNT back in the day. USA-1, Bigfoot, the Kong trucks and Grave Digger
@@cfoster81 Absolutely. And don't forget King Krunch, too!
It was a pleasure to be a small contribution to what Michael Harper and his team Monster Truck Wars created for the fans, in delivering the best event of 2022, “TNT Unfinished Business.”
With the event that fans from around the world most immediately called “better than the last World Finals” it’s clear to see the passion MTW and it’s competitors have for making monster truck fans, enthusiastically happy!
Well done guys!
My great uncle is the original owner and builder of the Equalizer
I can't believe any of this. Oh my god. I can't believe this happened. This is beautiful. The old graphics packages in a modern setting. All the old drivers and announcers. I can't believe this.
Please for the love of god come back and put on another show at the NC fairgrounds!!! Just simple side by side monster truck racing is so needed and the show was awesome.
Man this was awesome!! I hope they can find a way to do it again this year! Brings tears of joy to my eyes.
This is a one-and-done. You are likely not going to see another TNT event. I would love to see a Penda tribute event, bring back like 8 trucks from that era and run it at say Lima. But, from what I'm told by many involved, this is the ultimate One-And-Done, and honestly that's how it should be. Having another would take away how special this event is.
You have NO idea!
How the hell am I just finding this? This is magical. As a kid that grew up with the 1989 Tuff Trax season on VHS, that I rewatched endlessly, it warms my heart seeing so many old faces again.
Somebody cutting onions? Man, the memories this brought up...I watched these guys on t.v, owned the toys, and use to watch them every year at Stafford motor speedway in Connecticut. Porter and the carolina crusher is and will always be my truck. Digger not far behind. But I loved all these trucks. Great times, great memories, great trucks/drivers. Thank you to all these trucks and drivers who put on all those shows across the country. This needs to be brought back every year. Great stuff.
Man i feel like a 4 year old kid again. The legendary trucks and drivers. This poos all over monsterjam its back to basics sof monster truck racin no flashy jumps just car smashin beer drinkin fun. Honestly TNT needs to make a comeback
I absolutely love this all put together like the original Tuff Trax. The music and commentary smacks you across the face with nostalgia. I wish guys like Army and Scott could live forever, cause they are just so passionate and knowledgeable about the sport. I used to laugh at Army saying a truck had "landed goofy" and to hear him say it again here got a big grin out of me. Props to the team for making this event happen!
What would’ve been neat is seeing Andy Brass and Bigfoot 8 return for the racing portion. That would’ve been cool
BTW, Where were the boys wit' the St. Louis Toys?!?!?
@@eltoro6688 unfortunately, they have had a beef with monster jam for years. That’s been long discussed in other forums.
Jonathon Taylor here. This is totally awesome seein this awesome retro monster truck action and hearin Army Armstrong he's awesome and my all time favorite commentary in tractor pullin and in monster trucks.
Love hearing Armie again!
This was the best! I miss this format and Tuff Trax. Great show and Thank you for this!
So awwsome.. tearing up watching this. So epic seeing the trucks i grew up watching again
Absolutely wonderful event! I watched when it first happened, and I’ve watched it 3 times since, just so nostalgic and wonderful to see.
Man this brought back so many memories..... My only wish would be to see Rod in USA-1 again.
nostalgia overload
The way they filmed this really takes me back to the early 90's, I miss those days. It was straight line racing, no freestyle, some tough truck competition with mud drags or tractor pulls. Now you go to a Monster Jam event all you get is one day racing, one day freestyle, and then other little competitions in the mix like wheel skill, etc which is cool. BUT THIS is where it's at, and the old school guys duke'n it out really made this event worth it. All the kids when I was growing up were all about Grave Digger or Big Foot, me personally I was a Crusher fan and still am, Gary Porter is still my favorite driver.
Got some dust in my eyes and it just won't quit.......
Two Names, one superlative, Scott Douglas and Army Armstrong, GOAT!!!!! Heard them do MANY TNT pulls and Monster Truck shows as a side event at the Mid South Fair in the Mid South Coliseum. Sad day when TNT went under. At least we have old videos!!!
Legendary. AND SCOTT DOUGLASS IS BACK HERE😭😭😭 I can’t wait.
God I miss TNT!!!!! Monster Trucks haven't been the same since USHRA bought them out!!!! The only change I'd make to this show is to have Andy Brass and a couple other drivers and trucks return.
I cried…so many wonderful memories most kids slept in on the weekends I was up at 6 am Saturday mornings to watch and these were the men I watched and idolized and to see that except for Jon Moore we’re blessed to still have them all with us. That’s just the best. Thank you MTW for doing this and letting us be kids one more time….damnit this was great that’s all I can say
man this brings me back to my childhood in the early 2000's. Used to have a VHS Tape from the early 90's and loved every minute of it. Much respect to TNT Motorsports.
The feeling I had when I was there live, with the heroes that became friends, it cannot be described. I have said it before, and I will say it once more. This was the most perfect event I've ever been to. Better than any World Finals, better than any outdoor show...I know this moment will live on. It was absolutely perfect.
I’m super happy this is back!!
It’s been a LONG time coming. I’m glad it’s now. Keep it alive. This is what the purists want & looove!!!
Michael Harper, this was the best thing in the sport sense Bob ran over the first 2 cars in that field. You and I went to the World Finals together but this was better than that. I wish I'd known you were doing it in time to have been there in person. I went to Releigh in 1988 and 89 and met most of these guys there, so it was an emotional return to the golden days of Monster Trucks for me. Thank you for using some of my pictures from those shows in this video. Now for everyone else, my site has been down for a while due to complication with the server but it should finally be resolved this coming week. I hope.
I first found BIGFOOT running around in the Movie, "Take this Job and Shove it". Later he made an appearance in " RoadHouse".
Thank you for filming this and putting it out. I remember being 4 years old watching tuff trax and finding it again on RUclips recently.
Y'all just showed everyone how it's done. From the racing to the production. Very well done!!
Yall should definitely make a dvd of this. This show was probably one of the best motorsports events ive ever been to
That’s awesome that Dennis was able to speak at this event! Wish he could have run at least once down that track but I’m sure Feld Entertainment would have put a stop to that real quick.
Yeah, I agree. But since he did speak as you said, and the tribute truck had a Grave Digger door. I'd say Dennis and the Grave Digger were at least there in spirit if not in person.
Dennis had an event at the dungeon to get ready for. Had nothing to do with Feld, he had the annual Easter egg hunt to get set up. Everyone at the place very busy when we were there shooting that segment.
Probably could in king sling
I'm still so upset I couldn't get off work to witness this amazing event
I counted the minutes between Sundays waiting to see Army Scott and all these Legends Pioneer this sport!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much all involved with this!!!!!!!!!
こんな素早いショーを地元で見れるアメリカが羨ましいぞ。
Being local to Raleigh, it makes me sick that I was not aware of this show until after it was over. At least it's on YT!
Oh man, I wish this was a touring event; but I love the whole concept of this. Its a shame that USA-1 or Bigfoot couldnt be in the show. Grave Digger is owned by Feld Entertainment (Mosnter Jam) so you'll never see that truck in other competing shows.
This is amazing
This is great. I love all the old-school trucks and drivers. Grew up watching Tuff Trax and my bedroom was full of posters of these trucks.
This entire show was awesome. Monster Trucks are supposed to look like trucks, not sharks or whatever else. I really hope this event returns. Had a great time with my dad here. Brought back memories of me as a kid going to these events.
Can't wait!
Hearing gary say that about mike was so funny cause dennis said the same thing 🤣
Hope they bring this back and dennis is able to run
That night life truck is so beautiful
❤❤😊 I love these guys red make a lot of memories these guys turn me into a grease monkey watching them growing up
old boys still got it in them
The memories. Thank yall so much for letting me relive this.
Wish we still had Tuff Trax along with Trucks and Tractor Power
I watched Tuff Trax every Saturday night back in the day. This was a great watch and a lot of nostalgic tears giving this a watch. Fantastic job by all involved!!!
What a great show, I remember watching these guys racing monster trucks when I used to be kid it brings me back a lot of good memories!
That was awesome from start to finish!
Some of these guys haven’t driven a truck in 30 years, yet this was some of the best racing I’ve seen since the 90s
This was one of the most Awesome events to happen in Monster Truck History, hopefully something that would turn into an annual event at tracks they ran at back in the day, would be Awesome to have the event at Fishersville VA, Augusta Expoland, one of the original tracks
Wished that I could've went, hopefully we'll see an Unfinished Business 2 this year
It’s a legendary Scott Douglas from Monster Jam
Thank you so much for posting the video! And most of all GOD Bless all our great monster truck legends in HEAVEN!
Thank you, that was a great video!!
Awesome
Please come back to the Raleigh State Fair!!
LOVE the old school trucks! But thunder chicken looks hilarious lol
This made me smile like I was a kid again thank you for uploading this
This is one of the coolest things I have watched in a long time! Great to see the old trucks and drivers again
Definitely nostalgic for sure these were the guys i grew up watching. Way back in the late 80s early 90s Gary Porter, Dennis Anderson, David Morris all came to Maine every year to a place called Hunneywell Valley. There is still videos on RUclips but they closed down years ago. Bigfoot came one year and got stuck in the river, there's videos of that as well.
I would have loved to have been there. I had to have emergency back surgery the very weekend this happened or I was going to be paralyzed. I was so happy to see some people that I grew up watching be there and sad that there were some that couldn't be. But it was still cool to see these people back.
I miss the good old days of monster truck racing
What can I say? I’ve essentially died and gone to Heaven! Thank you so much for uploading!
Needs Bigfoot and USA-1
Mike Wine was probably the best original driver there. Shame that he likes to look at little kids nekkid
Sick dude!!
This is the best thing I've ever found on u tube!
That was amazing. As a long long time monster truck fan this was amazing to watch thank you for putting this show on it was awesome!!!!
this is beautiful, i hope other tours do events like this!
Love this bring this back with the point scheme I’ll pay to watch it
This was perfect. 🎉
This needs to be a new circuit... Hit all the old tracks
I would definitely attend the Hagerstown stops.
Would've been neat to see USA-1, Bigfoot 8, Kris Chapman, Richard Leek and Mike Goss.
Who built the chassis'? The one under the Thunder Chicken was really weird lookin. Was very awesome to see these guys racing again. I have so many episodes of Tuff Trax on VHS stored away. I need to repair my VCR so I can watch them again. I always liked the underdogs, too. Like Johnny K and Dave Wieczorek. Gary Porter was a fav too.
Loved it the first time and this is amazing the second time! Great editing man!
This was a really great weekend for sure.
pretty neat deal that I was in this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please make this a yearly deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see Mike wine!!!!
This is so amazing!!!!
@41:00 Looks like Equalizer jumps the start. I know its only for show but I still say Night Life won.
I wasn't around when Tuff Trax was originally on TV but I've been watching episodes on RUclips. With out these legends there wouldn't be a monster truck motorsport! Too bad Bigfoot, USA-1, & Grave Digger weren't on the show (Id image FELD wouldn't let the Grave Digger truck on even if they were asked.) Awesome show over all!
I may be 30 years old but bring out the original crusher wow just wow not many know his story but Dennis had a major rival for the crusher an bear foot an equalizer
I hope they can do another event like this again maybe it’s not gonna happen but if it is going to happen, they should do one in California. That will be awesome especially in the SoCal.
Scott Douglas is calling out monster jam? 49:58
I belive so
What? You all are so quick to jump the gun on things. No script, simply stating it was real, purely real.
@@ausproductionsofficial that’s what I’m talking about
If it was really “real” there will be no rigging of scores
@@bigfanofmonsterjam2 or….5 year olds judging.
This is awesome. If this event happens again I’d love to see Bigfoot send a truck out for it
They still have the original number 8 in their shop it’s painted up the same as in 1990… Andy Brass available?
No way! Mike wine!?!
That's cool to see
This is awesome!! This was the best monster truck series.
8:57 Phil!!!
Where was Team Dane/KingKong/ Awesome Kong and King Krunch, TEAM TEXAS!!!!
Wonder if monster jam said no to grave digger running his truck
🤔 I noticed that he spoke of the 1988 1989 Seasons and clearly skipped over one of the most important Seasons, the 1990.
I remember army from 1988-1990s
Mike Wine 10 years ago was arrested in Ohio.
