BIGFOOT #11 Test Session Pt.2 & #10 - December 1992 - BIGFOOT Monster Truck

[@_NoDrinkTheBleach]

There's something about this design that is just timeless. Even though it's 28 years old, it doesn't feel that way at all.

[@ebtgboi103]

Man I miss the old days! Bigfoot STILL rules!!

[@GMdieselman]

I imagine Fred Shafer in those trees with binoculars calling Dodge, “We better put more hp in the Hemi” haha Anyways great footage, very cool to see the height difference between the two.

[@dragonfly492]

That is not how #11 raced, this is it being tested right out of the box. Look for KZbin video 1993 PENDA Monster Truck Challenge Lima, OH Race 1 and you can see the real difference.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Lol

[@AustinOgonoski]

As another guy said, it's crazy how this truck is 30 years old and yet still looks like it could be a mid-pack truck at modern Monster Jam events, if not outright win.

[@tylerwillison4962]

It just never gets old watching this truck.

[@Jt7166]

They days when monster trucks were built strictly for racing ♥️. So happy I got to experience this era as a kid. Thanks Bigfoot for making this Stay at Home thing a lot more fun and nostalgic

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

My favorite era of Monster Trucks!

[@tomdahmer1352]

I love those trucks, you know when monster trucks actually resembled trucks

[@danielgallegos8869]

Bigfoot always ahead of it's time, and everyone else!💯

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

The low stance of #11 makes it look good. This truck looks like it handles so smoothly.

[@dragonfly492]

This is only at this testing, the truck is brand new.During the Penda race series in 93 and 94 Brass had the rear shocks almost fully extended which gave the truck a mean bad ass leaning look. It was no sitting low in the rear.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

@@dragonfly492 Ohhh yeah, cause I remember when I first seen it at Lima, Ohio the truck didn't sit low like this. Even the front shocks had more of the shock shafts extended.

[@TBird100636]

Thanks for sharing! Cool to see #11 tested with #10, before #11 was retrimmed as Wildfoot.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

I'd like to see footage of Bigfoot #14 test. I remember Dan saying things about when he tested it back then, but I'm sure Bigfoot has footage somewhere of it. Especially being that #14 was the 1st truck of the Bigfoot stage 3 trucks to utilize the long shocks on the rear instead of the cantilevers like #'s 8,9,10, &12.

[@SS454LS6]

The difference in ride height between 10 and 11 is staggering.

[@dragonfly492]

That is not how #11 raced, check out this KZbin video "1994 Team BIGFOOT Racing Highlights - BIGFOOT 4x4, Inc." You will see just how high the rear of the truck sat.You can also see this of the 1993 wheelie run that the truck did. In this video the truck is brand new and being tested....looks like their not running as much nitrogen in the rear shocks because the body comes close to touching the rear tires while in motion.

[@danielgallegos8869]

The first time Bigfoot raced with the red and yellow stripes was in my hometown, our states flag is also red and yellow 👍🏼👍🏼 the good ole TNT days. I miss good serious racing!

[@BIGSHUNN]

WOW!!! Thanks for the video!!! U can really see the difference between BF10 & BF11!!! AWESOME!!!

[@yesop03]

Man I love watching these old videos!

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Same here, I've watched this video idk how many times.

[@vhsrevolt2226]

Wow, you can really see #11's tendency to want to pull up and wheelie here, we'd see Andy make that famous run in Wildfoot the next year.

[@hpiedsavageed7608]

The wheelie footage put a smile at my face. :)

[@ronniemcgiboney329]

Bob chandler and Jim Kramer were ahead of their time !!! And man you gotta love that Big block ford power !!!!!

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

I could never get tired of watching this!

[@SpacemanFan1988]

You can definitely see what concepts and theories are in play with this testing session for the Penda points series

[@mikerogers1984]

I really wish something like the penda points series would make a comeback. Don't get me wrong, some of the things the are doing with trucks now are amazing, but it also shows an ignorance for engineering. Seeing how long you can stand a truck on it's nose has destroyed more motors in recent years than we all care to talk about. Not to mention the fact that this right here is what I grew up on. Actual racing...

[@dwp139]

It had to be a bit weird for Jim since literally he was so used to being in the normal driver position, and then he tests out 10 and 11 with a center seat.

[@Strosfan85]

Was thinking the same thing! Had to be so awkward for him not to be able to hang his head out the window

[@jacklin694]

Awesome video thanks for posting it You rock

[@TBird100636]

I found this location by way of the St. Mary's Cemetery sign in the background at the beginning. The whole area is redeveloped into commercial property, the cemetery is dwarfed by buildings on almost every side.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing and posting.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

There's another test of #11 where it's sporting the Wildfoot colors. Wonder if we'll see that footage?

[@rogergibson7588]

Best suspension ever

[@NightShade-bb6vq]

Go Big Foot I miss BigFoot it’s been a long time i miss the TNT Days

[@Jt7166]

#11 with a little foreshadowing with all those wheelies off the line 🤣

[@aaronsparks5487]

Love the testing videos

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Same here, I wanna see the testing of #14.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Yes!!!! Keep them coming!!!!

[@Jason1Pa]

My goosebumps have goosebumps watching this!! 😂

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Love the testing videos. I hope that there's video of #'s 14, 15 and 16 of them testing before the trucks hit the track and in the public's eye.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Now that Bigfoot #10 has a new home in Pacific, Missouri and Bigfoot #8 is currently undergoing a refresh it would be cool to see Bigfoot #11 back in it's original form. The only question would be if the 1993 body style that was ran was able to be reproduced. It was really be cool to see the original Wildfoot name and paint scheme return. Plus, we don't even know if Bigfoot kept the Cantilevers that was on the rear. I wonder how bad was the chassis damaged on #11? I still have copies of when Bigfoot 11 aka Wildfoot was in Peterson's 4 Wheel Drive magazine.

[@Jason1Pa]

I forgot just how fast some of these trucks were back in the Panda series days. I think they were turning 4 second runs at times!!

[@Dogman36]

this was before they pumped the shocks up on 11. also, was the PENDA thunder drags in the RCA Dome in november 1992 the debut of 11?

[@timt8029]

No. The debut was Sema 92. The 92 show you were talking about was number 10.

[@JerOutlaw]

You can tell this was early testing, 11 never sat this low in race trim.

[@dragonfly492]

Finally someone who knows about how #11 ran.

[@deltauljCustoms]

The 'Wheelie Run' truck...

[@midsouth2strokes185]

Man u could clearly see that no. 11 was faster and lighter than the high tech bigfoot 8 a few years earlier. U can really see the progress 💪.

[@nathanmcdonald610]

I honestly believe that the fastest monster trucks as whole have ever been was the mid/late 1990s, during the PENDA/TNT/TNN era of racing. They were lighter "in some cases under 10Klbs", totally engineered for racing and making as much power as the contemporary trucks of today do. Modern monster trucks have gone back up in weight, in some cases as much 13,000lbs or more which rivals the old leaf sprung trucks of the 1980's, but todays monster trucks are built as all arounders. With the added emphasis on long freestyle sessions the extra durability is needed for doing wild stunts like backflips and stuff, but they trade off some of the raw speed for that added durability. I do miss when these were primarily racing machines though.

[@m_12_44_w]

Crazy how different they are in height!

[@yeahok115sure]

Kinda crazy to think this style chassis is still used to day

[@craigbowne7722]

Old school monster trucks are better looking than the new ones

[@lowellthomas6222]

I wonder if this Bigfoot could keep up with the monster trucks of today I feel like Bigfoot 10 is the baddest monster truck evert created

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

It's tough to say which one was the baddest cause #8-16 were some awesome trucks. Bigfoot 11 and 14 have been 2 of my favorites. I can only imagine what other designs Bob Chandler had up his sleeve and on his computer. Really wished that the Penda style series had stayed around even if it was under a different sponsor's name.

[@alexander1485]

any close ups of the license plate?

[@monsterjambrony]

Why is there a squealing noise coming from #10?

[@garrettott6044]

#10 had mufflers than ran through the chassis. The squealing noise is the whine from the supercharger. You’re able to hear it in 10 because of the mufflers, just like #8.

[@shawnconder4984]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe a different style supercharger? But 10 also doesn't have that slope at idle that 11 does. Makes 11 sound meaner

[@wellthatsjustpeachy90]

@Monsterjambrony its bc both of these trucks have a super charger on them that was specific to that particular motor make if I'm not mistaken, and down to the way they have them set up motor wise, monster jam trucks have a total different set up. Thankfully bigfoot got out of what is now called MJ before it went to the screw show it is now.

[@ScrewGL]

this is some good footage? Does #11 still run? what is the oldest bigfoot running

[@Leatherface123.]

Bigfoot 1

[@jbbarham5186]

it doesn't they still have the frame, #14 is the oldest truck still in competition

[@TBird100636]

#11 was retired in 2015 after a severe roll over.

[@thedevilsM45]

ScrewLag 11 was retired a few years back due to frame fatigue surpassing usability after a nasty nose first crash. 10 was also retired due to similar issues. 14 and 15 still run

[@dragonfly492]

Of the race trucks....Bigfoot 8 is only used as a display or training truck. #9 was lost in customs in Brazil a many years ago and has never been recovered. #10,11and16 were all retired due to some very bad crashes a few years ago, though #10's completely striped chassis was seen recently being used to test fit a new 70tys model body. #14, 15, 18,19 and 21are all still running. #17 owned by Nigel Morris and raced solely in Europe was sold and is currently running as "Sheriff" in Spain. And they still have #1,5 and 20. #2,3,4,6,7,Shuttle, Ranger and Fastrax were all sold off.

[@amptrontwenty-five2352]

Ford Power!!!!

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Hemi power at that as far as Bigfoot #11 goes.

[@Leatherface123.]

Those are badass stripes on those badass trucks

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

And then Bigfoot #11 got it cool looking Wildfoot name and paint scheme.

[@SupaMan865]

#10 had a REAL nice engine package, that thing made a shitload of power!

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Yep, and #11 engine package was even better with the bigger Ford Hemi motor.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Definitely has a low stance that #10 when there sitting side by side.

[@monsterjambrony]

Wayne Norbrey, Jr Actually I think that #10 is the higher one.
