It was just to prove that it wasn't the truck kicking Scott Stephen's butt it was the driver, Andy Brass was just a much better driver then him didn't matter what truck it was
This race event sticks out in my mind so vividly as a kid. The races that Bigfoot had were unbelievable. I remember being so heart broken at the end and convinced Bigfoot won. Thank you for putting these up, seriously its wonderful to see this.

You are exactly right, Scott made a comment during the Irving, Tx show about Bigfoot not having a truck that could compete. I heard that during this period that Bob was reluctant to putting in the big Alcohol injected motors, but if #4 had one of those that truck would have been a Beast. Bigfoot seems to have very reliable trucks that could finish a show from start to finish. Don't blame Bob for any decisions in regards to his trucks.
@@waynenorbreyjr9371 Scott Stephens was a sore loser at best and a nasty shit talker at worse. Watching him get manhandled by an at the time 7 year old Bigfoot #4 and Andy Brass was beautiful poetic justice after his comments in Irving Texas.
Bigfoot 8 was banned early in the season for being "too good". The other trucks couldn't hang with it, so they made it sit out for 2 months for the other teams to get their new trucks ready to race.
+jago107 yeah I remember alot of the drivers during the Memphis arena show I wanna say were not happy about Bigfoot 8 being around because A) they took off a full year or the rest of the 1989 season to build their new truck and B) the other divers were weeks away from bringing out their new trucks and theyd be weeks maybe longer behind Bigfoot 8 once competition got really going
I just found out that the Louisville Motor Speedway doesn't even exist anymore. It was torn down and turned into an industrial park shortly after the Kentucky Speedway was opened. That's a shame. I would've loved to see the modern trucks take a whack at this track.
+jago107 That's what usually happens to old race tracks. I'm in Jacksonville,Fla and we had 2 tracks Jacksonville Speedway Park which closed in 1973 and Jax Raceways which closed in 2004. JSP is now a housing development and Jax Raceway being where its at is a prime location for either another housing development or industrial Park.A sign of the times.
@@DWM2309 I too live in Jax. Where was Jax Speedway Park located, off Normandy Blvd? I at least got to attend a few events at Jax Raceways before it was closed, one of which was a monster truck race and a Powder Puff demo derby. Clydesdale was one of the trucks appearing, was lucky to meet Bennett Clark, he mentioned this night was the last show for that version as he was finishing up details on a new race truck.
@@waynenorbreyjr9371 they didn't HAVE TO. that's just how it turned out. Personally for me, I just think the competition was better when they were trucks and broke down easier. The drivers had to work harder on getting over the cars without breaking down.
Not sure what you think of Bigfoot 8, but it technically was the first of the "oversized dune buggies". What I think is really cool, though, is that Bob Chandler's team made the effort to keep it looking like a real truck on the outside.
No one seems to own a copy of the first episode. At least no one is willing to come forward. I'm missing Chicago 1 and 2 which were Tuff Trax airings and the 89 Review part 3.
Andy Brass, my favorite Bigfoot driver, ever.
i loved watching these when I was a kid. it was always a special day when monster trucks came on and they were doing the figure 8 course
I just love how Andy Brass spanked Scott Stephens with a seven year old truck on this night. Poetic Justice if there ever was any for Bigfoot
Scott Stephens was a crybaby, this was just a big blue Ford of karma coming back to bite him in the ass.
It was just to prove that it wasn't the truck kicking Scott Stephen's butt it was the driver, Andy Brass was just a much better driver then him didn't matter what truck it was
Andy Brass and Bigfoot 4 the MVP that night at Louisville
Bigfoot got screwed by tuff trax here. They always hated him. I believe Andy came back and won that race.
I'd love to see modern trucks of today do a course like this!

Can you do hypothetical points standings for 1988?

@@MisterGravelrama don't forget the untelevised events as well
34:42, IMHO, the best MT race EVER even with the early problems with the fuel system in Bigfoot 4.
Yet another fantastic upload from my childhood. Keep on keepin on, MT
7:00 the air that Grave Digger gets is unbelievable! Those ramps were ridiculous.
That's some bull shit I think there was a conspiracy to keep bigfoot from winning. It looked like from here Andy beat Equalizer at the last second.
Sweet Sweet revenge for Andy Brass against Scott Stephens and all that trash talk.

Still my favorite come from behind... Andy set qualifying with a the only sub 40 second pass. The run against Gary was 35!
It's a shame Bigfoot 8 was banned at the time. I would've loved to have seen how Bigfoot 8 would've handled this track.
+jago107 Why was Bigfoot 8 banned?

Knowing the handling problems they had with 8, #4 may have been the better choice for this track IMO.
look for a amateur taped 1991 figure 8 show and see jim kramer in #9 dominate the track and its similar to what #8 would have done.
Man I love that mopar magic truck but then again all the truck are awesome
RIP John Moore
Bigfoot is a fukin Badass!!

These are by far my favorite. Back when they were actually Real Trucks, and not over sized dune buggies that do wheel stands.
Yeah, but the trucks had to evolve from being actual trucks.

Always fun with new videos from you. :) I hope you continue. :) Thank you!
Will be going all the way through the 1990 season!
should bring this back
