Gosh, I remember these shows on Saturday mornings. I miss Army Armstrong calling races.
Hey Daniel, awesome comment. From what I have heard, Army is now a Hall of Famer and is retired already from calling the races that we all grew up watching growing up.

USA-1 had quite a rough year in 1990 and it shows. After numerous flips and breakages no wonder the truck stopped racing in the big leagues.
Thanks for upload this. Real monsters made of metal, not fiberglass. And cheers to all Ford fans reading this!
It would've been neat to see King Kong fine-tuned and to see it run at its full potential.
that kong truck is bad ass
I feel bad for Wilke. USA-1 was a literal antique at this point with that narrow stance, center of gravity, and suspension. Jasmer was so stubborn he refused to modernize the truck and seemed to think that it's light weight and power was enough which even during it's heyday with Litzau was barely staying upright.
wish Monster Jam do racing style like this
They still drag race like this at race tracks
@@orangecrate5895 there's still a couple of racing leagues, but they're not nearly as big as Monster Jam, and seeing how those events maybe reel in about 9000 spectators, while Monster Jam gets about 40,000, it's easy to see why people are starting to hate the sport
@@orangecrate5895 Truth!!
@@linux_doggo What racing leagues? They are all "shows" with no timing lights,no qualifying or points system.
Haha that's funny.
16:54 the balls on this guy to just stand there and take a picture while a 5+ ton truck is barreling toward you on its back tires. I wish we could see the picture he took.
i know right
Good observation. That photo must be amazing
The steel body monster trucks were the best.
I want them back.
The Equelizer knew how to race.
100% Balls out and fight to the end of track. Fk the shocks and landing,
JUST GO FAST!!!
This was the beginning of the end for TNT Motorsports. Dumb rules, unfair races and unfair lanes.
Wow and I thought King Krunch had the most flips
So they keep mentioning that this was the 9th rollover for USA-1. Were there other rollovers not on film somewhere because my math doesn't add up to theirs. Here is the list I have.
1. Freedom Hall, Louisville, KY 1988
2. Buffalo, New York summer of 89
3. Kalamazoo Michigan summer of 89
4. Flint Michigan fall of 89
5. Roanoke Virginia spring of 90
6. Richmond Virginia summer of 90
7. Stafford Springs, CT sulmmer of 90
What am I missing?
the other rollover was at a untelevised truck and tractor pull at the amni in Atlanta in 89. Untelevised Toronto canada 1989. Televised Chicago ill 1989. Dallas 1990. most wasnt rollovers they was more of running into things s yeah
Add to that 1988 freedom hall. That was the 1st. After beating bigfoot 4 for tne championship. Omni came after. Crash in chicago twice. Kalamazoo was another one. Flint 89. Roanoke 90. Richmond 90. Stafford springs 90. Thats 9 accidents 7 flips 2 crashes
He hit the wall in Dallas too
I think I might of Ben their I remember when bigfoot came out of retirement in Stanford
15:34 Jesse Birgy and the brand new Play’n For Keeps II
I have his signature somewhere on a racing pamphlet from this show.
more like USA-9, right guys?
Back when America was great
still is but it is what it is
I went to Stanford only place worth paying to see the trucks
Stanford? This was at Stafford Speedway
How tall is Andy Brass?! 4'9??
Or is that chick interviewing him 6'3?
He looks like Ben Stiller, specifically in Happy Gilmore
I believe Andy Brass is approximately 5'4 inches tall.
andy brass looks tiny
He's 5'2
He seems even smaller making excuses about track conditions 31:30 rather than driving better
Midget voice as well
@@josevorchese7461 there's no excuse aboout how he drove they was still working out the bugs out of bigfoot 8. so he wasnt making no excuses
I suppose you could have done better?@@josevorchese7461
I do not remember this USA-1 crash, definitely one of the worst ones! Clearly there were things wrong with the design of this truck and it shouldn't have been out there. I can't help but to wonder why, after all of the times this truck was rebuilt (and these had to have been MASSIVE rebuilds), why they didn't attempt to improve the truck. I guess that was the difference between USA-1 and other teams -- other teams constantly upgraded their trucks and made them better while USA-1 was forever stuck in 1988, never learning from mistakes. Kind of shocking GM put up with this mentality rather than leaving for another team like Equalizer or Crusher.
He didn’t believe in the new high tech trucks. He liked the old school leaf spring trucks
Nothing wrong with the design. It was one of the lighter and more mechanically sound leafers but that comes at the cost of narrower track and higher center of gravity. Would have been something to see how there tube frame truck would have run (too bad ushra bought out tnt and usa1 team didn't want to run there shows)
USA1 was the only truck still using a stock pick up truck frame as the base of its build and it was competitive. That's something GM could boast about in ads (and they did) that one-ups Ford who was sponsoring a truck that only used a Ford body and short block.
Cry baby Scott Stephens always whining about Bigfoot and USA1
42:32
I'm genuinely starting to dislike Andy. I'm aware he's retired from monster truck racing, but if you watch a whole lot of shows with brass driving you notice he never ever says anything about driver error, it's always the track, the opponent, the track officials, the truck not being set up right.
He was one of the best drivers Bob ever had. Multiple time world champion.
USA 1 stopped driving trucks and invented GoFundMe
not really
What?
Sad all "sports" are rigged
