I grew up down the street from The Beast. This was cool to see. Thanks for posting!

[@duggantheoutlaw7818]

Holmans truck was beautiful.

[@Roger-hp1yg]

Now this is a REAL monster truck show. Not like Monster jam is today.👍👍

[@cyotie911]

I was at this show. Good Memories!

[@MrRockzilla86]

Great post! Love the design for The Beast truck. Never saw that one very much. Side by Side Tractor Pulling is pretty cool idea, they should be judging the time as well as the pulling distance, then break it down from there..Heartbeat, I remember Brett Engelmann when he drove the Michigan Ice Monster 🔥🏁🔥

Those Bigfoot Bearfoot races were all out war.

[@OSDCrusher]

He's real tough

I was going to comment that actually.. Cheesy Arena announcer says it like 30 times, with his shirt open and gold chains on 😅

[@4x4ManiacBadTimeGarage]

so awesome! please more!

[@RM-df9fr]

the show announcer not gary lee lol

[@Roger-hp1yg]

Think they were meaning the tv announcer. Not the monster truck show announcer.

[@isabelestrada108]

fun fact:beast is in hot wheels monster trucks live as tiger shark

[@mediamain6]

Yep, bigfoot 8. The "truck" that killed the monster trucks for me. They were so cool prior to the tube chassis volkswagon-all-parts-interchange-with-every-"truck" quad runner they are now. They were works of art and car crushing was awesome to watch.

@Weaver Cattle Company Lon Ranger & original red Samson are great examples of "real" monster trucks not today's bullshit

[@dragonfly492]

@@jamesnoble8205 It's so cool seeing guys in those so call "real" monster trucks get hurt or their backs broken like Jack Wilmer did. Maybe that's why Jack got out of a "real" monster truck and built his self a bullshit truck for safety and better performance like Bob Chandler did. With today's trucks, drivers stand a better chance of having a longer driving career where the can support their self and their family's. In every racing event...track & field, foot ball, golf you better improve or you will be left behind like all of those "real" monster trucks. I doubt Monster Jam will ever replace any of it's trucks today with the cumbersome trucks of the past just to please a few. You can't do a back flip or jump past 100 ft. in a antique and just crushing cars got lame decades ago.

The song? Music yeah yeah yeah?

[@DWM2309]

camera work back then was awful.

[@slmjm8849]

+DWM2309 Awfully horrible is a better way to describe it.

[@TheIcpfan23]

It wasnt the camara angles it was how the show was edited

[@tomtodd7744]

I have to agree with @dominic hocutt . It WAS how it was edited, NOT the camera work.

[@RoKKr023i]

@@tomtodd7744 Hush fellas. don't pay any attention to the fella behind the curtain.

[@dragonfly492]

@ DWMiness2018 So was this tough announcer

[@LextechLighting]

8 without stripes, no less.

[@MarvelMTs]

That was in late ‘89 and pre-TNT ‘90. There’s the BIGFOOT Family Reunion from ‘89, this, and Anaheim ‘89 where #8 raced before the HW stripes came along

[@LuisRodriguez-oe6od]

the song?

[@RM-df9fr]

i never did like the announcer he wqs annoying lol

[@dragonfly492]

He's TOUGH!

[@MrRockzilla86]

Stadium announcer, very annoying. The best TELEVISION announcers were Ken Broo and Mike Galloway..
