Notes: -This event was historically significant in that Excaliber's final round win was the first time Bigfoot had ever been beaten in a side-by-side race. -It is not widely known why Kirk Dabney's Thunder Beast did not compete. Thunder Beast, which started life in 1984 as Blue Thunder, would eventually be parted out by the end of the year to help build the Duraliner Giant.

Date is 8/24/86. Thunder Beast did compete. The footage commonly seen is edited in a way to make it seem like the final round was the semi-final race with Excaliber and Bigfoot, but this is not the case. Here are the full results:
QUARTER FINAL Hercules d. Thunder Beast Michigan Ice Monster d. Lone Eagle Excaliber d. Mega Force Bigfoot d. Skoal Bandits
SEMI-FINAL Michigan Ice Monster d. Hercules Excaliber d. Bigfoot
FINAL Excaliber d. Michigan Ice Monster
