From Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road Magazine, June 1986.
Ford & Budweiser Championships
SRO Promotions and Pace Management
Anaheim Stadium, Anaheim California
February 1st and 2nd
I think this was Show 2, and Show 1 was January 4th and 5th.
The double-pull was run on tracks of 155-ft and 160-ft. Also mud boggins, jet quad, Brian Carson.
The monster truck obstacle course began with a sled pull, then a "10-ft hill", 2 sets of cars (either 13 total or 13 in each set), and then a small run to the finish.
I put "10-ft hill" in quotes because if you look at the photos on Midwest Monsters (www.midwestmonsters.com/miscgallery.htm), the hill is only 5-ft tall in reality.
Truck in Attendance
Bigfoot IV - Bob Chandler
Rollin' Thunder
Destroyer I
Monster Mash
Skoal Bandits
Altitude Plus
Cyclops
Jack Rabbit
Santanimal
Bigfoot Shuttle
The article said there were 12 trucks, so I guess I'm missing two. Destroyer and Bigfoot Shuttle do not appear in the article, but are seen in the photos on Midwest Monsters. Listing Santanimal as a 'monster truck' is a bit of a stretch, and I do not know if it participated in the obstacle course or just a parade lap.
Long story short: Bigfoot won both nights. No times or other information provided.
