Man, I remember watching these on VHS nonstop when I was a kid! I had all the tapes (and I still do), but my favorite by far was *Bigfoot Strikes Again!* Watched it so much I wore the VCR out, but the tape still plays to this day _30 years later!_
Fasttrax was so beautiful, so much more aerodynamic then the other tracked trucks of the time.
They didn't really go fast enough for aerodynamics to come in to play though, the thing that really made the Fastraxx such a rocket was its twin supercharged Ford 460ci V8's.
The OG trucks looked so much better than the baja crap they use today
That's a fair statement, but I personally think that the stuff they use nowadays is a lot cleaner, and just more slick of a design.
Enjoying all of the older footage! Keep them coming!
No.7 my fav bigfoot out of all of them! Thank you Mr.for sharing this for us to see . I drive a blue 91 f150 everyday.
Bigfoot at the Silverdome. The glory days of the sport.
Hey man, I LOVE your channel! I think I've watched every old school monster truck video on your page!
monster truck racing mud racing tractor pulling and brian carson stunts for 10 bucks !!!!!! OHH HELL YAHHHH !!!!!
I would love to see a retro bodied truck of this style. This is the Bigfoot I grew up with.
Boy, that was better then a Rock concert. Thank you BIGFOOT.
So glad I got to drive #7!!!!!
Did you work for Bigfoot at any point or was it a one off kind of thing? Like you knew someone that worked there that got you in for a short drive?
I find it so interesting not just in the truck technology but the safety changes that have come. Look at all the people on the floor. Just a few steps away from the trucks as they are racing. Now days the floor has to be completely cleared before they can even move a truck. Either people were smarter back then or we were maybe a little dumber.
I noticed the same. Just look at the guy standing at the tree between two monsters!
Cool stuff I remember being at that show …. dam now the silverdome is gone … bob is 78 yrs old and all the good stuff is gone ! DAM !!
Nothing lasts forever.
Hey man, just be glad it happened!
The silverdome is gone? Why do i feel like i've heard that....
monster trucks have been around for 45 yrs NOT BAD !!
everytime I drive down 75 and m-59 I can still visualize the stadium on the hill .. lol
Awesome Silverdome action! Hopefully one day we'll get to see the March 1990 or October 1992 shows! I know some short clips of the March '90 event has been on various Bigfoot home videos over the years, but never more than a second or so.
Agreed. Is that the one with Kramer and number 9?
Wow. Bob had a crazy good reaction time in his first race. Kramer was always wheelie g that truck great.
would be cool being able to go to a monster truck rally like this again. having trucks with true frames under them instead of the ones now that are just a frame with skins attached (meaning true trucks) and being able to see a tank truck racing again. i think a lot of people would attend just for the nostalgia.
Whos gonna be driving those trucks if it does happen
I want the same, monster trucks based in actual trucks, and why not, some of those insane tanks too!
Wow, nice watching old vids of Willie Townes, Virginia Beach Beast, tracked Chevy Blazer shredding. I remember back in the 80’s, when local boys, Willie Townes and Dennis Anderson built their first monster trucks. Willie, building his Chevy Blazer on a M3A1 Stuart tank chassis. Dennis did his Ford Sedan Delivery, using a cut down duce and a half truck frame w/4x4 axles, and Good-Year Terra tires. Both ran blown, big block Chevys.
This was so awesome! Thanks for another old school post!
0:52 dude is taking a big risk standing behind that Christmas tree.
love to have seen Fastrax against an actual tank coz i have a feeling it would still win.
such an awesome vehicle & incredible engineering genius to create it.
be great if they put Fastrax in the new PS4 Monster Truck game
Do you have any idea how heavy a fully armored tank is?
That truck is fast..super awesome
Bigfoot #7 was among the fastest monster trucks of this era, it used a big 540ci Ford V8. There we're a few that could keep up with #7 at that time, but not many.
Nothin says old school like hangin your head out the window of a monster truck while goin over cars!! LOL
True.
Competition had zero chance, specially against Fastrax. Bigfoot leads the way, always...
I didn't know a Goliath tank existed...
Another nice video from you, thanks!
Man there are so many people standing around on the track. Doesn't seem safe lol
Great video, thanks for posting this video
This is really cool fast trax is an amazing tanker truck
Yaaaay fastrax is still one of my favourite machines of all time. It's a shame bigfoot had to sell it
Ur videos are cool dude. It especially interests me because my grandfather painted the original paint to this monster truck. Really cool
If I could see the fastrax mud again
R.I.P. Pontiac silver dome
I remember this back then when monster trucks weren't that jumpable and a bit more stiff than usual
Pretty impressive how much more advanced Chandlers equipment was, compared to everyone else. Kramer was even trying with the truck
MisterTwister and leaving the competition for dead on the straight runs
Love your videos
Anyone else remember Trak Attak?? Used to be at the old sled pulls in the late 80s & 90s.
Monster trucks have made milestones since then.
I wonder how many of those tracked trucks still exist besides Fastrax
The original Ripsaw.
Damn!
I think I prefer fastrax with the econoline body on it. It looked the business .
Fastrax is bad ass, is it still around?
were the MOTOR CITY ….. what an entertaining way to recycle automobiles !!!!!!!
Monster trucks in their prime, monster jam was all about huge jumps and stunting. It’s not motocross lol. This was when trucks were still built for getting a bit of air but when they landed it was all about car pressing.
Wow I know BigFoot since I'm a kid but this is the first time I see Fastrax. Ripsaw has virtually nothing on this old monster.
It's so strange to see old school trucks crushing painted cars.
0:46 what truck is that in the far lane?
Bigfoot crossed paths with Goliath?????
I want to see the thumbnail video
Didn't Jim and Bob race #7 and Fastrax at this event? Why wasn't that shown here? If I remember correctly, #7 won the race, but just barely!
Also I don't think fast track was considered a monster truck but ok
Hello no- photo people
Brings back memories of all that '70s malaise getting crushed, hopefully modern monster shows get a bunch of Asian crap crushed..
I remember growing up watching Bigfoot as a kid and now with the evolution of what monster truck can do is seen on monster jam, the bar is set so ridiculously high now that Bigfoot kind of just got left In the past, kind of glad they havent signed on to monster jam because it would be embarrassing Bigfoot does shows where they hit a set of 3 cars barely even catch air and think that's still a show.. it's sad and unfortunate that Biggfooot wasn't along for the ride and progression from day 1

I wish the sport we're more like it was back in the 80s and 90s. I don't care for Monster Jam's format of freestyle until the truck is a crumbling hunk of junk and legit racing is secondary. Should be the other way around with more respect for the equipment, Even though it has cost them some exposure over the years I am glad that Bigfoot never sold out and stayed true to themselves.
