BIGFOOT #9 Racing In Kansas City, MO 1990 - Jim Kramer - BIGFOOT 4x4, Inc. 

Oh yeah! Bigfoot in general was fantastic!

Him and brass were the best

Bearfoot never copied bigfoot

Bear Foot was a Chevrolet truck until he switched to Dodge

@@TheIcpfan23 Foot in both names with a similar name/logo. Both were blue. And Bearfoot then went from all blue to blue-yellow-red right after Bigfoot did... 🤔 Copy, maybe not. Influence, most definitely.

@@roosduster No disrespect, but I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment.

@@TheIcpfan23 He never did copied Bigfoot to the TEE but Fred Shafer sure did use the technology that Bob Chandler created. Bigfoot/Bear Foot are similar since Bear Foot was the second Monster truck created. I know the story about Fred naming the truck after his two pet bears but why did he put the name foot on it??? Both were solid blue until Bigfoot 8 started using the red and yellow stripes....then Bear Foot started using red and yellow stripes. Duncan Osgood is right to a certain point.

Nope they said it cost more trying to bring back number 9 so just built a new truck

NO

No

Sadly no. If I remember correctly it something like it would cost more than the truck was worth to get out of customs over there so the Bigfoot crew basically just had to write it off and let it go. Brazil basically just stole the truck. Unforgivable if you ask me.

No they didn't, someone else has it and runs it under a different hood.

No Supercharged

Supercharged alchohol injected. Some publications said a 540, others a 571 or 557 all at this same time.

No.........but it is super charged.

Supercharged

No, it's a supercharger (Blower). The whine you hear is that plus a bit of the exhaust note as this bigfoot had mufflers and sounded different than a lot of other trucks.

Sierra Hotel Alfa November Echo The Bear Foot around 95 was mean. Racing was so good around 94,95.

Due to Bigfoot running at the same Penda racese as Bear Foot, Fred Shafer and Bear Foot couldn't win a single Penda Champion ship to save his life. Not to put Fred down, he did set some fast times in racing and win a few races, but year after year on the Penda circuit he hit dry holes for a Champion Ship.

I noticed that he jumped the flaggers, but Jim spanked him anyways. I liked this era of monster trucks, everyone was innovating and Bigfoot was building new trucks every year. The Bigfoot and Bearfoot deal was good as well, both teams pushed each other and the sport. I'm glad that the Bigfoot organization has stayed strong through the years. Just look what's happened to their competitors.

@@NobleNoob356 Racing was great from 91-97, the Penda years.

Never monster jam sucks

Big dispute a few years back that led to Bigfoot permenantly bein banned or somethin. Summit Racing is where it’s at now

@@amptrontwenty-five2352 It's been more than a few years back, like 22 years to be exact. Chandler refused to sale his trucks like Dennis Anderson and also the likes of so many others to Field Motorsports. There were disputes when it came to merchandising too. Field wanted to control all of the videos and merchandising Bigfoot had and made. At every race the Bigfoot crew would film how their trucks would handle over the race courses, this would help the drivers adjust their driving style or their trucks for better performances. BF would also use some of the footage to make movies to sale to the public. Again Field wanted to cut in on these video sales for themselves. Since Field couldn't purchase Bigfoot they said that they would build their own Bigfoot truck...which is where the truck Blue Thunder came from. Weather Bigfoot was banned or not ( I never read that) Field refuses to book any of the Bigfoot trucks even though Chandler has offered to supply them trucks for their events. When Monster Jam first started out in the late 1990's with Bigfoot and other trucks they had great racing competition, now MJ in my opinion is no more than WWE on wheels... a big "F-ing" joke. I'm glad Bigfoot doesn't run with them anymore. IMO the best racing series was the Penda Points Racing Series from 1991-97. Also Summit Racing is a sponsor that provides funding for parts to Bigfoot like Ford Racing did years ago. Summit provided sponsorship for Greg Anderson's Pro Stock Drag Racing Team as well, it is not a promoter like Field Motorsports is or the Penda Series was.

@@dragonfly492 and here's something else, too. All the Monster Jam trucks run the BKT tires (one of their sponsors), whereas Team Bigfoot is sponsored by Firestone tires.

Was it a 575?

Wrong, 572 ci.

I asked the same thing. He went straight from 8 to 10 but I wondered if he drove it on the rest track. By the time 10 was built, 8 and 9 were closer due to changes. Plus Jim quit driving full time so close to 10 being built.
