BIGFOOT #8


Bob & Marilyn Chandler's BIGFOOT #8, completed in July, 1989, is the first totally tubular framed truck, dedicated solely to racing, with it's chassis completely designed and blueprinted with the use of CAD, a process which took Bob Chandler some six months to design.  The vehicle has a unique nitrogen shock/cantilever suspension which gives it about two feet of suspension travel.  The concept and design ideas have been awarded a U.S. Patent, another first in the monster truck racing world.  It is significantly smoother riding, faster, and easier to control, making it safer for the driver, as well as spectators.  In 1990, BIGFOOT #8 captured the TNT World Championship Monster Truck Racing Circuit, by winning an unprecedented 60% of the 40 races in which it ran.  It was the Monster Truck Racing Association's 1990 "Truck of the Year."   In 2003, #8 became the very first monster truck to offer a chance for fans to actually drive BIGFOOT as part of a driving school.  Today, BIGFOOT #8 is touring the US.
