Trading Cards

I scanned these shots from Michael Bargo's book "Monster Trucks".

I scanned these pictures from Magazines that I purchased.

We lived in Hawaii before I was born and my Dad got some good ones at Alhoa Stadium of Taurus crushing the busses. My dad was good friends with Cliff Starbird who built Monster Vette, Wild Stang and Frankenstien. I have a lot of these trucks on and off the trailor. I did get a new digital camera that takes stills and video. On May 31st and June 1st it will be with me as I visit friends Jimmy and Dawn Creten at the 81 speedway again in Wichita, KS. Bounty Hunter and Scarlet Bandit will be appearing. As a lover of the 1991 Monster Truck Challenge sereis to another I hope you enjoy them.
