Nigel started out in monster trucks in England with a truck that he called "Wild Child."  In 2000, after getting the opportunity to come to America, he made his way to BIGFOOT 4x4, Inc. in St. Louis, MO.  While there he was invited by Bob Chandler to attend the MTRA (Monster Truck Racing Association) Banquet later that year.  Nigel accepted and attended the event, which is held in December of every year.  Nigel, along with his friend Tim Barks, were the first ever Europeans to attend the banquet.  Nigel also became the first European to become an official MTRA Inspector.  At the conference that year, the MTRA board voted unanimously to create an MTRA European division.  Nigel was elected the President.  During the conference the next year, Nigel and Bob Chandler met to discuss having a "BIGFOOT" monster truck that could be run full-time in Europe.  They both agreed that it would be a great idea, thus giving way to the construction of BIGFOOT #17.  For even more information regarding Nigel, follow this link to BIGFOOT's U.K. web site.
