4WD Truck and Modified Tractor Pulling Richmond Coliseum 1991

1991 4WD Truck and Modified Tractor Pulling from Richmond Coliseum, Virginia

[@Ricky_Grade10]

Still have my playschool Orange Blossom Special toy truck from the 80s. This upload has unleased a flood of childhood memories, ty.

[@andyharman3022]

I saw a few USHRA shows in the 80's. At the Pontiac Silverdome, they really put on a spectacular show in about 1983. Allen Gaines was there in the Orange Blossom Special 2wd truck doing an exhibition pull. It was a beautiful truck, something like a '37 Chevy with a supercharged BBC. The original Bigfoot truck was also there doing car crushing, and it was the highlight of the show. They had a couple of school buses that he would climb on top of, then get out and wave to the crowd. When he crushed the buses, every flashbulb in the place went off, and that was spectacular, too.

Thanks for posting this classic old school indoor truck pulling.My dad used to take me and my brother to see them in the Astrodome waaay back.

Art Arfons!!! Man, soo many good childhood memories from the 80's, mid south coliseum, Memphis Tennessee...

[@jamesbutler5995]

Who ever recorded thanks for doing a great job and posting it.I remember back in the 80's when they would come to Tampa,Fl.I always went to them thanks for sharing.

[@andrewrumer1634]

these events were also televised on espn back in that time

[@scottiebartz3098]

I remember watching this show on TV as a young kid and I loved every minute of it

[@Boosty_Boost]

Im so happy this was recommended, I was born that year, i would never have expected already back then to see jet engines on pullers! Amazing to discover!

[@Ole_CornPop]

I was also born in February of 1991, on the 18th. Some of the best humans on Earth were also born that year. We're the last of the old souls to exist, anyone born after was given the "shit end of the stick" as I'm always told.

You haven't lived until you've been to an 80-90s indoor pull. Nothing like the sound and feeling on earth. Wow orange blossom special and midnight express. Got a ton of pics of each from back then somewhere. Art Arfons. The John Force of tractor pulls. I'm 13 again.

@Paul Stuart Wilson What do you mean by Back when truck pulling was real??

[@chrisodom92]

It STILL is real. Lol. Just bigger horsepower and bigger weights. Hence why they increased the distance. Can you imagine today's pullers pulling these trailers in that vid in the short arena??? Today's pullers would jerk these tiny trailer and haul about 50-60mph in that building. THAT is the only thing thats changed. Now we got pullers with 4x4 trucks with 2-3 600+cubic inches engines and tractors with 5-8 engines so massive that one of these engines would shit on two of back then's modified tractor engines.
