E3 Spark Plugs & Lucas Oil Will Join Team BIGFOOT For Monster Nationals Series!!:  (Indianapolis, IN) In 1974, Bob Chandler created a machine that started a worldwide craze. It later became known as "Bigfoot". It was a larger-than-life, car-crushing "monster truck". It was the original monster truck. Now, 35 years later, there is a "Team Bigfoot" featuring the trucks that followed the original-still owned and created by Chandler of Hazelwood, MO. Team Bigfoot thrills crowds around the world with more than just crushing cars. Now, the powerful machines do wheelies, jump through the sky over impossibly high obstacles and roar and spin around tight racing courses.
     In celebration of 35 years of thrills, Chandler's team will unveil a special 35th anniversary Bigfoot at the E3 Spark Plugs Monster Nationals Presented by Lucas Oil series of arena shows across the Midwest this fall and winter. In addition to the 35th anniversary logo, this machine will carry the logos of E3 Spark Plugs and Lucas Oil. These two companies will be partnering with Team Bigfoot through the first quarter, 2010 on a vehicle recently named one of the "Top Five Marketing Vehicles of All Time" by the St. Louis-based experimental marketing firm Pro Motion.

     Steve Joiner, Vice President Sales and Marketing-E3 said: "We are very proud of the E3 Spark Plugs Monster Nationals Presented by Lucas Oil. And when it comes to putting our E3 logo on a monster truck, we want to be associated with the best. You can't do better than getting on board with the man who invented the monster truck-Bob Chandler and the Bigfoot crew. The new Bigfoot truck is spectacular. We can't wait to see it in action at the Monster Nationals events."
     Bob Patison, Executive Vice President- Lucas Oil Products said: "After 35 years, Bigfoot is still on top. It's a legend. At Lucas Oil, we have enjoyed working with racing teams and venues that are built from the grass roots up. What better story of grass roots growth could there be than Bob Chandler's? It's a lot like our own Lucas Oil story--humble beginnings to worldwide popularity. Most of all, we appreciate quality and attention to detail, and that's what Team Bigfoot is all about."
     Bob Chandler of Team Bigfoot said: "It's hard to believe it has been 35 years. We are very proud of this special Bigfoot that will carry the E3 and Lucas Oil colors for this series. Most of all, we are looking forward to putting on a great show and getting to meet all the Bigfoot fans at the Monster Nationals Shows."
     The 2009-2010 Monster Nationals shows are scheduled in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Patrick, Koehler 2009 South Pacific World Finals II Champions!!:  After another great year of continued improvement for the Australian Monsters Tour of Destruction, tonight's South Pacific World Finals II went off in fine fashion with some great racing and freestyle competition at Brisbane International Speedway!!  Six American drivers took on four Australians in a great battle for the 2009 racing and freestyle championships. The Aussies proved they were ready for a fight when young Billy Featherby in Scooby Doo laid down the fast time in qualifying, edging out Dan Patrick in Samson, Paul Shafer in Monster Patrol, Kreg Christensen in Outback Thunda II, and Clive Featherby in Outback Thunda I.
     The fastest trucks made their through the first two rounds to meet in the semi-finals. Billy Featherby would take on Kreg Christensen and in a close race, it was Christensen powering out of the turn and taking the win. The next race was a classic as Dan Patrick and Clive Featherby had a great race to the line with Patrick barely taking the win setting up the all-American finals. In another photo finish, Christensen had trouble keeping the truck straight coming to the line while Patrick stayed smooth, taking the win. Congratulations to Dan Patrick and Samson for successfully defending his title from 2008 and again winning the South Pacific World Finals Racing Championship!

     Freestyle would see Patrick continue to have a great evening, putting together a solid run for a score of 15 points out of a possible 20. Things really kicked into high gear when the Featherby boys took to the track however. 14 year old Jay Featherby had some great moves including huge sky wheelies, big air over the bus and the destruction of an RV for a score of 16 to take the lead. 17 year old brother Billy roared to the track in Scooby Doo, but a massive sky wheelie on his second hit would result in a rough landing, sending the truck up and over on its lid. Another move of the night would come from Paul Jensen in Batman, as a huge sky wheelie would result in broken rear sway bars and end his run early.
     Things really shifted into overdrive when Mr. Excitement Jim Koehler hit the track. A jaw-dropping save early in his run gave him the wow moment he needed and he filled out his performance with big sky wheelies, huge air over the bus and a donut to take the lead with a score of 17 and only two trucks left to run.

     If anyone could eclipse Koehler, Kreg Christensen would be the man to do it. Christensen was on his way to doing exactly that after destroying an RV and grabbing the biggest air of the night. But a broken shock would bring an early end to Outback Thunda II's run and Kreg would have to settle for a score of 16.

     Heartbreak would strike for the national favorite Clive Featherby as a broken rear axle in Outback Thunda I after two hits would keep him from contending for the win. That would leave Jim Koehler as the high score and he is your 2009 South Pacific World Finals Freestyle Champion!!

     A big thanks to Clive Featherby and the whole Monsters Tour of Destruction for putting on a great event and for making it available in an online broadcast so those of us night owls here in the states could enjoy it as well. Also an extra big thanks to our good friend Darryl Smith who has provided the great teaser shots you see above, keep an eye out for more photos from him coming soon right here on TMB!!  Keep watching for coverage and more photos of the event at www.DownUnderMonsters.com, amt.mtm2.com, as well as www.MonsterTrucksAustralia.com, and our congratulations to Dan Patrick and Jim Koehler on their 2009 South Pacific World Finals Championships!!  (11/14/09)

Monsters Truck Drag Racing: Bigfoot versus Snake Bite!!:  (Hazelwood, MO) Well fans, Bigfoot 4x4 was invited to the ADRL World Finals in Ennis, Texas at the Texas Motorplex October 23rd and 24th to run BIGFOOT and Snake Bite down the drag strip, and it turned out to be a record-setting event for Team BIGFOOT. We sent Dan Runte in the Summit Racing Equipment BIGFOOT #16 and Larry Swim in the Firestone Snake Bite #14. We have run monsters down the drag strip before, but never side by side on the 1/8 mile!

     We raced Friday night at 11:15 p.m. and boy did we surprise the crowd. We think they were just expecting the trucks to race down the track, but we had a REAL surprise for them. We were able to do very smoky burnouts in the box and carried them right thru the starting line!! It was awesome. Then it was race time!  Dan ran 8.221 at 84.27 mph and Larry ran an 8.349 at 79.21 mph.
     On Saturday we were trying to find out who had the fastest speed for a Monster Truck and found that War Wizard ran at 84.328 mph (on a runway). Realizing just how close we were to beating that record on Friday, we thought we might have a chance on Saturday. The guys actually ended up racing at 1:13 am on Sunday the 25th, but Dan was able to eclipse the record by running an 8.261 at 84.49 mph! Larry had a little problem with traction at the starting line and ran a 10.861 at 74.88 mph.

     What a great weekend of drag racing!!  We would like to thank the ADRL and Summit Racing Equipment for giving us this opportunity. For more photos and video of the trucks' runs, head on over to www.Bigfoot4x4.com!!  (11/02/09)

Migues Takes Overall Win Night One In Farmington, NM!!:  The Del Taco Monster Truck Spectacular is back at Farmington, New Mexico's McGee Park Memorial Coliseum last night and it was Darren Migues in Bounty Hunter taking the overall victory with some high-flying freestyle!!  Migues took the opening round of the night, but it was Ronnie Sturges in Nasty Boy making some noise in round two as he narrowly edged out Migues after a run with several huge slap wheelies. Sam Sturges also had a great run in round two, almost going over in Unnamed & Untamed after a big sky wheelie over the cars. The finals would be all Bounty Hunter despite great efforts from Unnamed and Nasty Boy, as well as Joe Miller in Iron Outlaw and Travis Sturges in 1/2 Pint. The monsters are back in action tonight along with tough trucks and quads, so come on out and celebrate Halloween with monster trucks at the McGee Memorial Coliseum in Farmington, NM!!  (10/31/09)

Creten Sweeps Montreal, Quick Nails Backflip!!:  The 2009 Monster Spectacular at Olympic Stadium is in the books and wouldn't you know it, Jimmy Creten sweeps again!!  It was an incredible event tonight in Montreal as twelve trucks competed in racing and freestyle and Larry Quick attempted to perform the first ever backflip in Canada. Racing would be all 2Xtreme Racing as Joe Miller in Iron Outlaw and Jimmy Creten in Bounty Hunter marched through the brackets on their way to the finals. In the championship race, Creten would just be too strong despite a valiant effort from Miller as he picked up the huge racing victory.

     After racing was completed, Larry Quick rolled out in Ghost Ryder to attempt the monster truck backflip, hoping to be the first to complete one in Canada. Larry nailed the attempt and landed it perfectly on all fours as the crowd of over 45,000 went crazy!!

     Freestyle would see great runs from Rick Long in Bigfoot, Joe Miller in Iron Outlaw, and Dan Patrick in Samson, but the battle for the win would be between just two trucks. Breakage claimed heavy hitters like Amsoil Shock Therapy, Avenger and Brutus. Rich Hilgendorf in Weapon 1 put on an amazing freestyle as, after blowing a tire on the second hit, he continued on, launching over the biggest stuff on the floor before a nasty rollover ended his run with seconds left on the clock. It would take an extraordinary effort to beat him but one driver was up to the task.

     That driver would none other than the racing winner Jimmy Creten. Creten piloted Bounty Hunter like the pro that he is, getting huge air off everything and keeping up tons of momentum. As time expired, Creten cross-threaded the huge delivery van stack and got hung up, flipping the truck over on its side to end his run. As the crowd erupted in thunderous applaus for Bounty Hunter, there was little doubt that Creten had pulled it off, sweeping Montreal.

     TMB sends out a huge thanks to Chris Arel and all of his staff for inviting us up to cover our first event in Canada and for all their hospitality on our trip. Also a big thanks to Team Scream crew member Stephanie Cotnoir for taking Ross Bonar's camera and deliverying the amazing shots you see above and many more.
