Date: January 8th.
Track: Indoors, a roller hill, a set of 5 cars, a small roller hill, and a set of 7 cars. The finish line is at the end of the 5th car.
Lineup: Rich Hooser (Bigfoot IV), Steve Dane (King Kong III), Dennis Anderson (Grave Digger), Doug Spanier (Master of Disaster), Jeff Dane (Awesome Kong III), Rick Young (Bearly Tame), Jim Bowman (Gentle Ben), Jim Miller (Barbarian), Gary Porter (Carolina Crusher), Ron Dennis (Leadfoot), Kid Rarig (Mad Man)

Hooser 10.37
Anderson 9.53
Round 1:

Finals:

Notes: This was the first event of 1988. This was the first time Dennis Anderson ever beat Bigfoot, to which Anderson still claims is the biggest moment in his career. This was the first event for the newly designed Awesome Kong and King Kong, which were remodeled in December 1987. Both trucks were painted red, and looked almost identical aside from the name on the side. Ron Dennis' Leadfoot rolled the front left tire under the truck during its first round race with Gary Porter's Carolina Crusher
