I was going threw a old tape that I got from a friend of mine who got it from Mike Nickell (Excaliber) and on it was a short 4 min clip of a TNT show from either late 1985 or early 1986 at the Hoosier Dome in Indy. The trucks present were Gentle Ben (on 73's), Goliath (still wearing the brown paint job), Lon Ranger, Excaliber (still on stock 5 tons with Goodyears), Blue Thunder (wearing the Grave Digger/Quadzilla gold wheels and Firestones), Mad Dog II and Stomper Bully 1 (wearing 73's and the aluminum wheels)
It was an obstacle course competition where the trucks ran one at at time for the best E.T. Not sure who won as the only footage of the competition was of Excaliber.

Found the full tape...
Line Up:
Excaliber (gray paint)
Goliath (brown paint)
Gentle Ben
King Krunch (long wheelbase black/red/yellow version)
Stomper Bully 1
Mad Dog II (yellow blazer)
Blue Thunder (on digger 1/quadzilla rims)
Lon Ranger
Intimidator
Track:
Single lane paper clip layout. Car set, double roller/rhythm hill, wide turn, longer car set, tight inside turn, run through the full mud pit. No official times stated by the announcer, (trucks would run as a break between pulls. The pulls would start before the trucks would be done) but King Krunch was by far and obviously the fastest on the course.

Is is amateur or professional footage, and if it is professional, I'd like to watch it. |
