Bad ass thread: The story of jeff strand and the thunder beast monster truck

[Cooter]

oh it was a damn good read, but I just felt sorry for the guy most of the time

[turbostang]

yeah, no shit - talk about some BAD luck!

[tribaltalon]

yeah, it was really interesting because I know Pablo Huffaker, (one of the co owners/drivers of the Grave Digger franchise, as well as owner of a couple other trucks) and it was pretty crazy to see the stark contrast between their lives. its all about being able to sell yourself and your services in that industry and that guy really seems like he was perfectly content to give everybody the finger and do it his way. Cool, but sucks that he wasnt able to make it big without "selling out".

Holy shit! He said this was all between 1987 and 1990? No wonder he wasn't competitive, there were already guys with tube chassis rigs by them. His shit was outdated before he even had it together.

85' was when he bought the truck and then he toured till 99' before it got burnt up inside the garage

Bigfoot was introduced to the public in 1979 and was the original first monster truck
