BIGFOOT |
|
There is alot of work done by many hands to run a major Monster Truck organization such as Bigfoot. Here are a number of the people who make it all happen. Some don't work with Bigfoot anymore, and there are many others that I don't have here. |

Bob and Marilyn are an incredible success story. I've often wondered what they must think of all that they have accomplished. Back in the 70's Bob was a "Construction Contractor", using his truck on the job and for fun. You know by now the story of how he continued to build the truck and established the Midwest Four Wheel Drive business, so I wont go into it. But it is funny that for the last 25 years, Bob has been a "Destruction Contractor", still using his truck on the job and for fun.
A quote from the Bigfoot site, "Then, in 1981, Chandler tried something that forever changed the monster truck concept. It fueled an explosion of fan interest and led to a legion of imitators. He decided, just for fun, to see if he could drive BIGFOOT over a couple of junk cars. A few months later, he duplicated the stunt in a stadium show. The rest is history." |
