Location: Racine County Fairgrounds, Union Grove, WI
Track: A set of two cars with a space in between them, then a set of seven cars with a space in between the first and second cars. The first set of cars would be eliminated from the course after the first round one race.
Trucks: Scott Stephens - Auto Value King Krunch, Don Van Loo - Bad Medicine, Fred Shafer - Bear Foot V, Andy Brass - Bigfoot VIII, Michael Vaters - Black Stallion, Gary Porter - Carolina Crusher, Jon Breen - Micro Machine, Steve Hess - Nitemare III, John Moore - No Problem II, Colt Cobra (Gene Patterson) - Snake Bite (Bigfoot IV), Jack Willman, Jr. - Taurus III, Wayne Smozanek - Tropical Thunder (Night Life III)
-Cobra rolled over in qualifying
ROUND ONE:
Shafer d. Cobra
-This was the infamous crash that saw Snake Bite crush a storage shed off to the left of the track. Due to the problems that the narrow shutdown area presented, the decision was made immediately after this race to move the starting line past the first set of cars.
Breen d. Van Loo
Willman, Jr. d. Moore
Porter d. Hess
Smozanek d. Vaters
Brass d. Stephens
ROUND TWO:
Shafer d. Breen
Porter d. Willman, Jr. (red light)
Brass d. Smozanek
SEMIFINALS:
Shafer d. Porter
Brass d. Breen (fast loser)
FINALS:
Shafer d. Brass
Notes:
-This show marks one of the first televised appearances (as a Bigfoot crew member) of Eric Meagher, who would go onto drive Bigfoot 15 to several championships.
-This was a very rare occurence of a track having to be altered during the event due to safety concerns. The track was modified to allow the return of the original race course the following day.
-During its first round pairing vs. Bigfoot, Auto Value King Krunch had to be shut off completely to remove a wooden dowel that had somehow become attached to the engine.
-This was the first official victory for Bear Foot on the PENDA circuit. A previous victory in Bloomsburg, PA was overturned because the truck had gone out of its lane past the finish line and was therefore disqualified.
-The crowd did not like the decision to shorten the track and can be heard booing several times during the course of the broadcast.
-Other trucks that were in attendance in Union Grove but did not make the event included David Morris and Equalizer (who would make the Day 2 field), Milwaukee Iron, the 48-inch tired truck OverXcited, and the Hall brothers' Big Boss. Brian Welch's Hangin' On truck also appeared at the event, but a picture has recently turned up of the truck in the pit area with a severely damaged body and a broken off left rear wheel. It is not known whether this incident occured at the event or if Welch brought the truck to the event to try and repair it so he could make a qualifying attempt.
