THE BIGFOOT 25TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT
Bob Chandler & Co. brought their Bigfoot
25th Anniversary Celebration to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville on September
8-9, 2000. My pictures turned out lousy because of the poor lighting at the old
Nashville Speedway, but I decided to post coverage anyway, because this is one of the best
shows we've seen all year. Please excuse the quality of the pictures taken after
dark. |
| The
Nashville show was an incredible treat for Monster Truck Fans. The original Monster
Truck, Bigfoot 1 was there, driven by Bob Chandler himself! Bigfoot 5, with its huge
tires, joined three Bigfoot team members of the modern racing era: Bigfoot 14,
Firestone Wilderness, and Snakebite. It was a great night of side-by-side and
Chicago style MT racing, excellent Tuff Trucks, and a demo derby. We caught the
Friday night show. |

Dan
Runte is the senior driver among the Bigfoot team. A new state-of-the-art truck is
in the works, and Dan will have first crack at it if he wants it. Right now he's
driving the ChromaLusion body on Bigfoot 14, specially designed for the new millennium.
Bigfoot 14 has served him well in racing events, and still holds the long jump
record. |
| Eric
Tack has his own impressive list of accomplishments in Bigfoot 15. On this tour, he
drove the Firestone Wilderness body. Firestone needs all of the good publicity it
can get, with its recent tire recall problems. |

We
have always loved Snakebite. This was the first time we've had the opportunity to
see it since the Fright Night show in Louisville in October 1998. Bryan Bertoletti
was driving the Snake in Nashville. |
| Scott
Hartsock brought Gun Slinger up from Florida to challenge the Bigfoot fleet. Gun
Slinger is always very competitive. |

John
Seasock made the long journey from the Keystone state to run Sudden Impact in the
Nashville event. John is a favorite with the fans wherever he goes. |
| Jim
Koehler rounded out the racing field with Avenger out of Michigan. This is an
exciting truck and driver. Avenger sports an extremely slick paint job. |
