I think I'll take the original Bigfoot next to it. Monster trucks nowadays are a joke. At least the original Bigfoot was a REAL TRUCK, instead of flimsy fiberglass bodies on tubular racing frames.

That, and the original look of a monster truck (i.e. Bigfoot until 1990, Rollin' Thunder, Michigan Ice Monster, Monster Vette, etc.)just looks better over the NASCAR look of them nowadays.
And if I haven't already mentioned, lol. The original Bigfoot logo looks WAAAAYY better than the one nowadays.

Steven,
For you to even remember Michigan Ice Monster you must be a long time fan. By the time Bret entered the scene the sport was already focusing on racing. However contemporary trucks were not fast enough, or structurally sound enough, to clear the cars.
BF held onto their original paint scheme until they added additional color (orange & yellow stripes) in ‘89 at the long time urging of promoters.
After over 20 years, and many setbacks, to this day the sport is still struggling to acquire legitimacy.

I think Gravedigger has a big part in why the sport is struggling to find legitimacy. Of course, it's my personal opinion, but I find Dennis Anderson and the entire Gravedigger team to be ridiculously wreckless.
Oh well.
Now that I've derailed the topic, lol...

Dennis "One Run" Anderson is the real deal. He has always been a WFO driver. However he is now paid to be reckless because it sell tickets. Most people don't realize that he hasn't owned Gravedigger for some time. IMO, the most damaging event which brought the wrestling image upon the sport was the introduction of ‘Snake Bite' which is/was BigFoot. This was actually done in an attempt to compete with Gravedigger's popularity. But don't get me started.....

Well I cant remember the Michigan Ice Monster but I can remember The year Big Foot came to Silver Lake Sand Dunes man now that was cool. Seeing sand fly all the way down the hills was un-real.

Rollin' Thunder, Monster Vette (The Cliff Starbird one), Awesome Kong II (The '84 Ford Stepside version), Michigan Ice Monster, Blue Thunder, etc...
:: pops "Return of the Monster Trucks" in the VCR::
Ahhh... Those were the days.
