Little update. The New York mini tour actually started on July 14 in Weedsport, then Flemington on the 15-16. I forgot to add Watertown, NY the day after West Lebanon.

Great work putting all this together . Love USA-1. I have pictures of me with that truck in Roanoke and Richmond before those 2 wrecks.

Have really been enjoying these videos, have seen them all over these last three days, thanks for uploading!! USA-1 was my favourite monster truck ever since I saw the Battle of the Monster Trucks video (´85, 86?) and speaking of monster trucks in general my favourite era was up to around these years. I don't get the right feeling about todays plastic clad rail jobs, I liked'em best when they were monster TRUCKS, steel bodies with their engines stickin' out of the hood. Of course, progress moves forward, and as far being racing machines I recognize that those of today are far superior, and technolgically much more interesting. But it's these old ones that give me the right nostalgia feeling that I like! With that said, it was sad that the USA-1 didn't keep on being a regular contender. There were talk of a new car being built, ut it seems to never have happened? I would have loved to see the upcoming iterations of the truck and being able to keep on cheering for it. I had to go with Bear Foot instead (yeah, one of the pioneers of turning the trucks into the style I dislike, I know... Give me a break, it was a cool truck! xD), so I would love to see videos about the Bear Foot career and development. Thanks again. Greetings from Sweden

I feel so badly for poor Steve Wilke. You can tell he was pouring himself into everything he did and the equipment just wasn’t able to hold up.

88 thru 90 was the best Monster Truck years. I think Everett got out at the right time. He had the for site to see that Monster Truck racing was turning into what wrestling was. The most beautiful Monster Truck ever. I think Everett posted on Facebook months ago that 4x4 Barbie was supposed to have licensed the USA-1 and would be running the colors this year. I haven't seen anything about it since he posted that.

Nicely done. I look forward to the next truck you want to do a story on.

I wish I was there in those days I know why USA one kept rolling so much it was because the truck was too narrow the tires were too close under the body easily giving it a lack of center of gravity I noticed this because I built fast racing hobby trucks before and learn this When the tires are not out far enough it makes it top heavy

Whoah! Did Rod roll the original in Japan? You know there’s video of that race and the Omni crash somewhere. Has to be!
