Lol exactly

yea but you were talking about a guy that held the land speed record, and really was a pioneer in the use of jet engines in autosports, also he was the father of tim who is the driver of the funnycar green monster I belive later called starfire that is in the indoor pulling event, hard though for the turbine tracters to get a grip with the newer sleds they use they just spin the wheels too fast or so I was told by a guy that was one of the officials at the bowling green nationals, never got to see art pull in life though but saw gardnerston and the general mark 4 the first time I went to fort recovery in 1994 If I remember correctly that summer, he did not win that day though, it was one of the banner brothers that day, but they were good pullers when they were in it always were. makes me a bit sad, as I love the sound of the turbine engines always did even wanted to learn about them and make a monstertruck with one, since I have known of none that use a turbine, though I see from studying there is a good reason for it as its a constant turbolag and just keeps building, not to mention the fuel consumption, when you are running a monstertruck you want all that power to take off, not to mention change direction when they steer. nor do I have the financial means to buy a turbine of that size

Monster Trucks, Nintendo and WWF. 80’s/90’s kids had thee best childhoods

From my experiences on public firing ranges, Korea veterans and boomers are not exactly known for firearms safety

Yeah, aged like fine wine :)

50

😬

I grew up on these tapes. And it was so much fun to go see the shows. Monster jam ruined it. It's so cheesy now, it's like watching pro wrestling

xrayracer1 you can get on dvd a three disc set

Ive got 4 vhs players that still work like brand new

I got all 3 for christmas one year as well wish i could find them they are in my storage somewhere i believe

That sounded wrong 😂

Jason Birchmeier same

Sad, all of the announcers from this show are dead now.

@@nathanmcdonald610 Judy Landers is still alive

Oh that's a bummer to hear, it's always sweet when any of the old school trucks get restored or even just brought out again with the wear & tear. But thanks for the info!

Baz82 became the keystone funny car puller and Dan Patrick still has it.

Richard Y. Yes. Some of them run chevron patterns backwards.

MJSGMC they held down the brakes on the sled

Robbie Williams ok I can see that happening. But still when the funny cars get close to the end you still see the tires spinning and the car is not going anywhere. U mean to tell me the sled operator is holding them back? Even though Jack and Judy said I can't believe we haven't had a full pull yet!

MJSGMC yes the sled has a weight box that puts weight onto the pan of the sled and the operator can apply the brakes at any time. and the exhibition classes where rigged at that time

Hard to believe he's pushing 80 these days.

Thats actually bigfoot 4. 5 wasnt finished till right before the 1986 indy Jamboree in September.

@@RobbieWilliamsandJakobWilliams I was honestly just looking at it thinking it looked like Bigfoot #3, it appears to have more chrome on it than #4 had.

Wild n the young high risk jeep

Robbie Williams damn Robbie your good how's jeepers creepers going

Wild n the young alot better after North vs South this year lol I'll make sure to post some new videos of it

Robbie Williams you got it bro I'll look out for it

It was a cool looking truck but I never understood why they had it compete since it was clearly inferior to the rest.

As someone who grew up on both shows today's monster jam 👎

@@darkkinggaming7988 lol waaaaaaaaaaaaaat this is why I like monster jam better because this one is too old

@@TheStupidestChannelOnEarth not exactly what I meant but ehhh now don't get me wrong monster jam is doing good these days there's just how do I put it...something missing

@@darkkinggaming7988 oh ok

@@darkkinggaming7988 Like legitimate racing? Monster Jam is all about the spectacle of freestyle, the sport of Monster truck racing peaked in the late 80's through most of the 1990s and then went downhill because of Monster Jam in my opinion. In the beginning you had USHRA that eventually led to the PENDA and TNT points series in the late 80s and 1990's. Monster Jam just doesn't have the same spirit as the early days of Monster Trucks, half the trucks don't even look like ''trucks'' anymore and are some weird shell of a cartoon or a super hero. Racing in Monster Jam just seems like an after thought while the main event is just a long freestyle session to see who can destroy their truck the most to please the audience. Monster Jam is also to corporate, the reason Bigfoot and USA-1 refuse to participate at MJ events is because they would have to sell all rights and ownership of their trucks and merchandise to FELD motorsports who owns the MJ moniker. I'm in my early 30's and I've been going to Monster Truck shows my whole life and sometime around 2005 to 2008 there was a sharp decline in the quality of it all. The earlier shows were much more exciting to me.
