[DiggerFanJSB]

@icpfan19 The clip of Lon Ranger at 1:13 is from an event (I think) in Ontario (Canada). I'm not sure on the exact location.

return of the monster trucks at the superdome is one of the best classic races from 80s

[gonnacrash]

@ 1:54 isn't that the original Blue Thuder with the pilot stick. I've seen it in the 80's At the Worcester Centrum.I remeber it was a Camaro. Thanks for any info!

[DiggerFanJSB]

Yes, the clip at 1:54 is of Kirk Dabney's Camaro-bodied Blue Thunder monster truck, from a January 1986 show in the New Orleans Superdome.

[gonnacrash]

Thanks for the reply. I watched the rest of the video and saw more of him.I seached under bluethunder but only kept finding the truck. This video is awesome to show my kids the events I went to (or similar).Thanks again !I love watching them!

[DKrage9]

ohhhh that explains a lot, lol. i had a vcr tape of that event and i knew its name was awesome kong but i searched and nothing came up but the regular truck. dam it that body was cool

[DKrage9]

does anybody know the truck at 1:42 i have been looking forver and cant find it

[DiggerFanJSB]

The grey Ford in the clip starting at 1:42 is "Intimidator."

[DKrage9]

i mean the red one with no body

[DiggerFanJSB]

The red truck in the clip ending at 1:42 is Awesome Kong, with a temporary body after a crash at a previous event.

OMG, 0:35, Heavy Metal, I forgot that truck even existed, wow, memories.

[MeganMarie88]

Afraid not bigboy, he crushed many cars in the field at the shop, before he went to the public venues with it. I'm from STL and know bob and marilyn chandler as family friends.
