Des Moines, IA 1997 Event Highlights

[DiggerFanJSB]

@MrAvenger2 For its first few shows after debuting, Bulldozer ran the vertical horns. Due to issues with either fitting the truck in an enclosed trailer, or manoeuvring the vehicle through the entranceway of smaller arenas, the horns were changed to the horizontal configuration.

[DiggerFanJSB]

@MrAvenger2 Depending on who drove the truck, the Bulldozer did run with the Executioner team on occasion. Guy Wood ran a Bulldozer body on his chassis (the former "Hulk" chassis), and Mark Hall ran a Bulldozer body on the rear-engined Executioner chassis in 1997.

[DiggerFanJSB]

@MrAvenger2 Yes, Guy Wood's first monster truck was called "Aces High" (different then Jake Henke's "Aces High" El Camino), which he drove around 1987. Guy later went on to drive "Heartland Express," "Bearfoot," "Hulk," and finally "Bulldozer." He also returned from retirement for a short while to drive "Hot Wheels."

[AOTVProductions]

DiggerFanJAB, I just wanted to say thanks for telling me the title of the video. the only thing i don't know where the heck the video is. do u know where i can find one?

[DiggerFanJSB]

I know the video used to be available to order by phone, however, I don't think it's being sold anywhere, anymore. You might be able to find a copy on Amazon or eBay, though.

[AOTVProductions]

One more question, did u ever see this year's world finals on CBS Sports Spectacular?

[DiggerFanJSB]

Yes, I did watch the broadcast of this year's World Finals on CBS Sports Spectacular.

[AOTVProductions]

[DiggerFanJSB]

Some of the songs they used, I already know, but there may have been some I'm not too sure about.

[AOTVProductions]

[AOTVProductions]

[AOTVProductions]

Does it show highlights from this season?

[DiggerFanJSB]

Yes, the video shows highlights from the 1997 USA Motorsports season.

[DiggerFanJSB]

I'm pretty sure the tape you're thinking of is "Monster Trucks & Pros: The Thunder and Lightning of Arena Racing," which came out in 1998, I think.

[GTAfanatic507807]

[ourtube4u]

[kaijuking588]

I heard they changed Bulldozer's horns to help fit him in the trailer.

[cheese2507]

Lol. Mike always told the story about the dude who drove the Going for Broke truck.

[Dogman36]

I'm lovin' the track for the monsters. it's more fair than the track where they turn they same way.

[Tromoly4130]
