Tallmadge, OH (PRWEB) April 10, 2015 -- In celebration of BIGFOOT’s 40th anniversary, the 2015 Summit Racing Equipment Atlanta Motorama will be the first—and perhaps only—time all 12 BIGFOOT monster trucks will be on display in one place. The Motorama will be held Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

“It is great being able to have all of my trucks in one place—we can’t thank Summit Racing Equipment and their team enough,” said BIGFOOT owner Bob Chandler.

The BIGFOOT truck and driver lineup will include:

  • BIGFOOT #1 with Bob Chandler—the Original Monster Truck® (April 18 only)
  • BIGFOOT #5 with Jim Kramer—world’s tallest and heaviest Monster Truck
  • BIGFOOT #8 with Bob Brown—first tube-chassis BIGFOOT
  • BIGFOOT #10 with JR Adams—first mid-engine BIGFOOT
  • BIGFOOT #11 with Kevin Koszala—made 1995 record jump of 117 feet
  • BIGFOOT #12 with Ron Bachmann—first display BIGFOOT
  • BIGFOOT #14 with Josh Gibson—made record jump over an airliner in 1999
  • BIGFOOT #15 with Rick Long
  • BIGFOOT #18 with Larry Swim—first Concussion chassis BIGFOOT
  • BIGFOOT #19 with Darron Schnel—first CRD chassis BIGFOOT
  • BIGFOOT #20 with Bryan Bertoletti—world’s only battery-powered Monster Truck
  • BIGFOOT #21 with Dan Runte—the Summit Racing BIGFOOT

40 Years of BIGFOOT
BIGFOOT was born in 1975 when Bob and Marilyn Chandler turned a brand new Ford F-150 pickup into the showcase for their new 4x4 shop, Midwest 4 Wheel Drive Center. The family spent weekends at off-road events and tearing through the gravel-bottom rivers of southern Missouri, where Bob’s lead foot earned the truck its BIGFOOT name. Over time, the truck got bigger with upgrades like military-grade axles, huge tires, and rear steering.

It was Bob’s decision to drive BIGFOOT over a of couple junk cars that really caught the public’s attention. An event promoter saw a taped copy of the aptly named Car Crush and asked Bob to do it in front of a crowd. The rest, as they say, is history. Bob and Marilyn built other BIGFOOT trucks to meet the demand for appearances—and an industry was born. Since then, BIGFOOT trucks have appeared in 26 countries, seven Hollywood movies, and hundreds of TV shows and specials.
