I don't know what this truck's secret ingredient was, but I certainly remember it kicking a lot of butt, back in the 80's. If didn't break or roll, it was usually winning every bracket. Thumbs up for keeping the memories alive!

[MrAvenger2]

hey who do you think is a better of equalizer Mike Thompson or David Morris

[rolliesserpent]

4 now i say David Morris i never yet seen the new version yet

[starscreammtfan]

@MrAvenger2 It's Mike Hawkins.

Excellent video. My favorite Monster Truck back in the 80's. It was a revolutionary truck. Worldchampion over big names, such as Big Foot, USA-1, and The Gravedigger. David Morris and the Equalizer are the pride of Springfield, TN. The best Monster Truck of the 80's.

FYI, This very truck still exists today, and is still racing and competitive, it ran as Equalizer from late 1988 until just a couple of years ago when Mike Hawkins put the name on a patrick chassis, he bought it from Morris in 03 or 04, the chassis now runs mainly as Ragin Rebel, altho it still runs the Equalizer name from time to time, along with other names. It also won 3 Championship if my Information is correct, the 89 TNT Championship, the 1994 USA Motorsports Championship and the 1997

I never cheered for this truck, but i have to give it its due, it's preety much the first to take a step towards an actual "racing truck".

actualy mad dog was

My favorite MT growing up! I truly miss watching Morris and Holbrook tearin' it up! If I'm not mistaken, this video shows the event where Equalizer and Bigfoot tied TWICE in the final round...

I used to watch monster truck racing in the late 80s and early 90s. I remenber watching the Equalizer, it was one of the firts (if not the firts)of the lightweight four link suspension trucks.

it's two songs together "The Hellion & Electric Eye" by Judas Priest.

[gmtgmt123]

im not the biggest fan of equalizer but great tribute

whats the name of the song?

[sanddragracer]

i think that the frame from that equalizer is now under the name ragin rebel still racing but not very competitively

[ibewolfer]

I have the rollcage from that truck, David Morris is a good friend of mine, i helped him with the Equalizer until he sold it. I miss it alot.

[MrJoe53]

Do you have more video of the figure 8 race?

[icpfan19]

what happen to the truck when he landed it

[71m07hySm17h]

That was in Roanoke Virginia, David Morris said what happened that the A frame underneath the truck to hold up the front of the truck was made from some lighter material and it collapsed.

[smd8841]

I can't wait to see the Bear Foot tribute I requested.

[maverick12212000]

Only one thing missing, and that was the rollover in '89 at Richmond vs. USA-1. Awesome Video!

[maverick12212000]

And maybe the video of Roanoke where he and Digger tied up. I am not picking on you at all, this is one AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!

[BigBoy061084]

it is the best one yet...

[KingCrusher13]

one of the best races ever Louisville Motor Speedway Bigfoot 4 vs Equalizer, doesnt get any closer than that.
