BIGFOOT

Bob & Marilyn Chandler's BIGFOOT #14, made its debut at the New Orleans Superdome in January, 1994. Running as POWER WHEELS BIGFOOT, the truck took 1st Place in the 1995 Special Events Penda Points Series, after finishing 2nd in 1994. Sporting the traditional BIGFOOT blue graphics, #14 also took 2nd in the USHRA Points Series in 1994. In 1996, BIGFOOT #14 & driver Dan Runte took their 2nd Championship together after winning 8 of the 13 races! The new world record for an outdoor long distance Monster Truck jump belongs to Dan Runte & #14! Visit the video gallery to see these amazing jumps! In 2000, Dan and #14 took second place in the new ProMT (Professional Monster Trucks) racing series, behind Bigfoot teammate Eric Tack and #15. In 2001, they took first place in this series, while following up that with another second place finish. This truck is currently touring the U.S.
