What about round 2?

[@Roger-hp1yg]

They only had 10 minutes of monster truck coverage and the rest was truck pulling ?? That stinks🙄

[@user-uj3zk2cx8t]

They had a second day of monster truck competition and Bigfoot did a crush of a junkyard truck for the crowd also. They didn't show all the monster truck footage from this venue.

[@ryurc3033]

Think about when this was happening. I think it was the second ever monster truck competition. They barely had enough trucks to fill a bracket. People had only been building monster trucks for 4or 5 years. Literally the first generations of monster trucks. They were a sideshow act for between truck pulls.

This was absolutely not the second ever monster truck competition @@ryurc3033

[@user-uj3zk2cx8t]

@@ryurc3033 What you said is an unequivocally false statement, this was FAR from the "second ever monster truck competition".

@@user-uj3zk2cx8tushra first monster truck race was Bigfoot and USA 1 for the show 'thats incredible " First race with an actual bracket was Louisiana Superdome in late 1985. They still were experimenting with different types of events to use monster trucks in, and even though it was gaining popularity, it was a side show in between mud bogs and tractor pulls, and didnt become its own separate event until the ushra sold to tnt Motorsports in the early 90s. Your right, it wasn't the second event, but it was the second year there were monster truck events, and there were barely enough trucks in one place to fill a bracket. There weren't even safety standards across the sport until Bob Chandler started it in 1991. How many other filmed racing events (not exhibition only) with a real bracket of more than 3 trucks can you find from before 1987...
