Super Modified Mud Racing Evansville Indiana 1989

[@KadeCr0we]

Such a weird feeling to randomly find something from my hometown on youtube. Looks like it was in the old Roberts stadium.

[@ryanlagoda1352]

Talk about a trip down the ol early 90's power sports memory lane...I LIVED for watching this stuff as a kid.

[@Snowwarrior]

I remember seeing this as a kid....I miss it so much

[@death8844]

I can remember back in 90 something when Tom ran mud patrol way up here in northern WI, it was amazing

[@315Stain]

I used to watch these as a kid on TNN! Sled pulls and Monster trucks! Yesssss❤

[@ryanlagoda1352]

Same here!!! Good times man!

[@nerdlingeeksly5192]

I can't believe we had this in Evansville so long ago and don't do this now

[@johnchase7667]

Went to several of these and truck pulls at robert stadium. Not sure why they thought they could do it in suck a small area. Always excited to go and always let down once there.

[@rustbeltcustoms4049]

BAD ASS!!!!!! I can't believe they did this inside... Monson Hill Climbs..... Monson Massachusetts... The Under The Hood Show.. You're welcome

[@thecommonsenseconservative5576]

I remember when I was 5 years old lol oh man they need to bring back this shit.

[@imdjc4]

Great footage of a potentially exciting event. But could they not find a bigger venue - maybe outdoors? Kill switch? Only a thimble full of gas required for that distance.

[@GraceEngineering]

Tom Meents. Famous monster truck driver.

[@brucehall5267]

Hey Tom!!! You don't know me but I know you. You and Dennis really truly are legends.

[@isthisforreal7731]

Hey I'm from there. Pretty cool.

[@RyanBenbow]

I know where a mud bog is on laber day weekend is. Behind my shop And a demolition derby haha

[@robsorgdrager8477]

Tom mintz!?! Max D?!? Mud racer!? Makes sense.

[@speedylee69x]

Yeah before he got to monster trucks I remember when he first came to monster trucks in the Goldberg truck they brought up his past as a mud racer

[@4x4BMW]

Lol right . I feel old af .

[@Magnacharger07]

@@speedylee69x mud patrol he was great in monster patrol too. He was accomplished but Goldberg was the start of a legend.

[@speedylee69x]

@@Magnacharger07 don't remember him in monster patrol

[@dougb6239]

SHAKE ME is a legend in mud racing history. Tom drove other cars too but the shake me car was HIS car.

[@brucehall5267]

I remember for for show one time family tradition shit far that thing went through a long way thru the mud and at rupp arena in lexington ky. And the wheels never got muddy. Just the tires. Me just a kid. Got that thing was bad.

[@thereluctantgearhead4544]

I was there.

[@beargibson3100]

Roberts Stadium was a tiny place. You should've seen em' try to run monster trucks here.

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

_I bet it was as sad as Roanoke, Va. LOL!! They had to keep from crashing into the other trucks that they stupidly had in the arena because the outer arena didn't have anymore room to keep 'em inside. There was a bad ice storm going on outside and half the trucks wouldn't crank. xD_

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

_I wish everyone could visit Darryl Jones' huge 4-Lane mud racing complex he built 20yrs ago for Mud Racing racing in Sanford, NC. His gang "Doo Crew Racing" had some awesome vehicles._ _If ya ever wanna show someone that there is such a thing called "Having Too Much Power", in the very early 2000's Darryl's truck called "Scooby-Doo" (before he detuned it), stayed on it's roof more than it did on 4 wheels xD. I think those vids are still on YT somewhere._ _Been over 10yrs since I've been there. I don't know if the complex is still open anymore. Had a great time._

[@dennisfant2620]

Yeah! I remember back in the 80's at Barton colisium in Little Rock AR. Dirt drag strip in the center for the tractors and 4wheel drive trucks. And the mud pit on the side. Really short like this.. Art Arfon Rigs . Makin Bacon special . Master of disaster drag mud truck Good ole days!

[@jesseschnieders9734]

I was there in 91 or 92.

[@jamesfrantz6085]

Yeah, I live here where ROBERT'S stadium used to be is now mostly an empty park.It was cool for concerts and ball games but not truck and tractor events...

Hey my boy Physical Therapy 420 @ 21:45

[@blown572hemi]

Tuned exhaust? Nope. Actually a power sponge. Blown big blocks vs small blocks? Seems fair

[@dzlf2504]

Why just why. They should of just raced out in the parking lot.

[@Fitch93]

Was just one of those quirks of the USHRA in the 80's. They ran Monster Trucks, Mud Boggers, and Pulling in ANY arena they could get them into. I remember watching Super Modified tractors pulling on an indoor strip that was only 100 foot long.

[@petermc2183]

Yeah... 65 Yards... Really!

[@charleschastain4228]

Hey Heath, I think my ford with the blown off doors you talked about could have drug you through there sideways

[@RyanBenbow]

I think my mud truck will beat your truck anyday anytime anywhere in Michigan unless you are chicken

[@kevin61906]

Kills me Everytime he says they're just not getting any traction in the mud , and tire spin. Um it's mud dude

[@distilledmilk2441]

Fr that’s the point😂

[@denniswoycheshen]

"4 feet of mud!!"... And also.. "no traction." Lol

[@mattgyver1]

Mullets

[@robertlawler2229]

Well this is boring at only 65 ft

[@kevinwest3689]

1100 horsepower in a foot of mud with nitrous, and you say the tires were spinning? Go figure🤔

[@user-sj3iz6ns4u]

Что то короткая дистанция🤔 Интересней было бы на заднем приводе...

[@RyanBenbow]

No rear wheel drive will. Make it. You Need to speak English

[@Wolfblitzerreporter776]

Melvin brown driving the budweiser racer lives about 45 mins from me. I remember as a kid he had a monster truck at his shop. Does anyone on here know anything about it or any videos of it?

[@timmorris3056]

All 4 paddles and a Ton of HP,... the Only way to hit these pits. Here they're restricted to Street Legal tires, junk......

[@peterparker9286]

Exactly no tires. They would have done better with a set of wild countrys or set of swamper boggers. Nothing beats 4" scoops at the corners and some power.

[@colejohnson3705]

Announcers doing more to ruin motorsports than a low budget.

[@joebob7344]

How crappy is that??? A 50’ track. That is just silly. A full 2 second run.

[@user-ez9vx8tj9m]

Мне интересно как эти навороченны и прокачаные самоделки вездеходы поедут по болотам и снежным сугробам?

[@denniswoycheshen]

They are only made to run for that one race and then have to be set up again. Some don't even bother to have a radiator.

[@RyanBenbow]

​@@denniswoycheshenit's because They use race fuel and nitris oxide I will never use nitros oxide

[@dwightstewart7181]

Only 65-feet? In piled up mud? What an incredibly stupid race. They need to find a new venue, something that actually challenges the vehicles and drivers, something that actually provides more entertainment.
