II. Frequently Asked Questions
------------------------------
Q. What is a Monster Truck?
------------------------
A. For the purposes of this FAQ we'll call a Monster Truck a highly modified
four wheel drive vehicle. The most distinguishing characteristic is the
extreme oversize tires.
Most monster trucks are speed and handling enhanced in order to race
similar trucks over obstacle courses usually set up with cars to run over
(crush), dirt ramps to jump, possibly a little water puddle, and a drag
racing style timing system.
Q. What is the MTRA?
-----------------
A. The MTRA or Monster Truck Racing Association is the organization of
Monster Truck owners, drivers, sponsors, promoters, officials and Fans.
This group exists to promote the sport and to provide safety guidelines
for conducting events.
http://www.truckworld.com/mtra
MTRA

MTRA has a new address!

Florissant, MO. 63032
Q. Isn't there a second class of trucks now?
-----------------------------------------
A. Yes, Pro-Stock Class. a smaller tire class:
Sam Marino debuted the Raptor and the Pro Stock monster truck class in
June 1997 at the Truck Fest in Charlotte, N. C. Featuring 48" tires
in place of the more familiar 66" tires, the class was developed to allow
more participant growth in the sport. Running a Pro Stock class provides
a cheaper, more realistic method of competing while still keeping the
enthusiasm and principle of full blown monster truck racing.
Currently Sam is exhibitioning up and down the eastern seaboard hoping to
add this additional class to monster truck racing. (Info courtesy Andrew
Palochko. www.Truckzone.com.)
Q. Why would someone build a Monster Truck?
----------------------------------------
A. It's a business! Maybe the owner/driver started to build a truck because
the sport seems exciting. Or maybe they own a 4 wheel drive or
performance shop and realize the advertising potential. The costs
involved are just too high for most individuals without a sponsor or a
business purpose.
Q. How many Monster Trucks are there?
----------------------------------
A. There are currently 14 trucks in the BIGFOOT fleet alone. You can see a
list of these trucks along with their specifications in the Team BIGFOOT
Section of the Bigfoot home page:
http://www.bigfoot4x4.com
Around the world there are over 500 monster trucks, only 100 or so of
which are full blown racing trucks. Others are exhibition, car crushers,
ride trucks, or promotions vehicles. This includes the majority in the
US. There are several in Canada, England, Australia, and New Zealand.
Q. How big are those tires?
------------------------
A. Sixty Six inches tall by 43 inches wide with about 10 psi of air. They
weigh about 900 lbs. with rims and (sometimes) tubes. Most of these tires
are run tubeless unless a puncture or other problems forces a tube to be
installed.
Q. Where does BIGFOOT get their tires?
-----------------------------------
A. These tires are often used on fertilizer spreaders and are called
flotation tires because they spread the vehicle's weight across a wider
surface. Some Monster Trucks have floated on water with these large tires
on. There is a used market for these tires, too.
Firestone and Goodyear both manufacture 66X43X25 Flotation Tires.
http://www.firestone.com
http://www.goodyear.com
Q. About those tires, I noticed some have the treads cut! How do they
cut those treads?
-----------------
A. Most of the crews have found a `Ginsu' knife blade mounted in a `Sawzall'
cuts the fastest and easiest. It's still a lot of work!
Q. How big are those engines?
--------------------------
A. The engine in a MTRA certified truck must be no larger than 575 cubic
inches! This refers to the bore or barrel size x the stroke or travel
length!
The actual engine displacement calculation formula is:
Bore in inches (Cylinder Diameter)
Bore Again
X Stroke in inches
--------
result
X 0.7854 (Factor to account for the cylindrical shape)
--------
result
X number of cylinders
--------
result Engine displacement in cubic Inches
Q. How fast can a Monster Truck go?
--------------------------------
A. BIGFOOT has been driven at over 80 miles per hour. On the quickest
courses, drivers usually can get the truck up to 65-70 mph in a 300-foot
span. Typically indoors, drivers max out at 25-30 mph.
Q. How heavy are most Monster Trucks?
----------------------------------
A. Somewhere in the range of 10,000 lbs. For Racing, the bare minimum
is 10,000 lbs, and most trucks will come across the scales at just
about that weight.
Older trucks from the early 80's weighed nearly 20,000 lbs. and
added weight simply because they would look better crushing cars.
However as time evolved and monster truck racing was introduced,
most started using aluminum to replace steel, tubular chassis and
fiberglass bodies to reduce the weight.
There is a proposal to reduce this minimum weight to 9,500 lbs.
in 1998!
Minimum weight now, according to the MTRA, is 9,500 lbs.
(Courtesy Andrew Palochko).
Q. Who makes these fancy shocks?
-----------------------------
A. One company is Kuster out of California. Also, Knight Stalker's
Steve Combs has built many shocks for the high tech trucks, such
as Carolina Crusher and Grave Digger.
Q. Who makes those four link frames?
---------------------------------
A. Dan Patrick, of Patrick Racing Enterprises, Inc., specializes in
Monster Truck frames and chassis components. Patrick, who also
owns the SAMSON Monster Truck, was instrumental in designing and
building the first ever tubular chassis on Bigfoot 8 back in 1989.
http://WWW.Samson4x4.Com
At a recent event I attended, every truck there but one sported a
Dan Patrick frame. One of the trucks was completely built by Dan
for a owner/driver client.
See also the suppliers listings at the end of this document!
Q. How do they move a Monster Truck from one place to another?
-----------------------------------------------------------
A. Most often these are hauled in a semi-trailer with all the tools
and spare parts needed to move and repair the Monster Truck. On a
real short run the truck may be `Wide Loaded' on a flat bed trailer.
Q. How do they get a Monster Truck into the semi-trailer?
------------------------------------------------------
A. The crew members remove the big tires and install small tires that
will clear the sides of the enclosed trailers and reduce the
height of the truck to where it will clear the ceiling during
loading and transportation.
Q. HOW DO YOU GET IN THEM THINGS?
------------------------------
A. In most of the new fiberglass body trucks, there is a hatch in the
floor for the drivers to climb up through.
On a older truck, the driver would open the door, grab hold of the
seat and door, push off the front tire and pull himself into the
truck. The hatch is definitely easier.
Q. How does the driver steer the rear wheels? Are they hooked to the
steering wheel also?
--------------------
A. No, the rear wheels are not hooked to the steering wheel. On most
Monster Trucks there is a toggle switch mounted where the driver
can operate it with his free hand. The center is off and moving
the toggle in either direction cause the rear wheels to steer more
left or right.
Many of these steering systems also have a second switch to select
a automatic centering capability. When the driver removes pressure
on the steering toggle the wheels will return to a centered
(straight ahead) position.
Finally, when side by side racing many drivers mechanically lock the
rear steering at center position by bolting on a locking bar or
aligning a hole in a locking tab on the steering tie rod with a
corresponding hole on the rear housing.
Q. What kind of fuel do they run in a Monster Truck? Do they run
Nitrous Oxide, too?
--------------------
A. Racing Alcohol is the fuel of choice for most monster trucks. It
runs cooler while producing more horsepower. Nitrous oxide is NOT
allowed by the Monster Truck Racing Association and a monster
truck won't pass Tech. Inspection and will not be certified to
race with an engine injected on it.
Most of these trucks use a little gasoline to start the engine,
either squirting it in by hand through the Blower air intake or
using a auxiliary fuel pump to inject a small amount to the intake
area.
Q. How can I get a ride in a Monster Truck?
----------------------------------------
A. The Virginia Giant, Bigfoot 4x4, and Grave Digger all have trucks
that have been converted to multi-passenger ride trucks. BIGFOOT #2
has a BIGFOOT Body while BIGFOOT #3 appears as the SNAKEBITE! The
Grave Digger Ride-on is a old Ambulance body!
Other monster trucks which have sister ride trucks include
Excaliber, Pure Pride, Eradicator, Shake-A-Paw, and Small Change.
You can take a ride in one of these enormous trucks at various
events like Street Machine Nationals, Fairs, and of course Monster
Truck Races. Performance Motorsports almost always brings the
Virginia Giant to their shows. There is usually a small charge per
person to ride (or is included as part of general admission).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To see if a "SAFARIFOOT" Truck (Bigfoot or Snakebite) will be in
your area, check out the Appearance Schedule in the Tire Tracks
section of:
http://www.bigfoot4x4.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Grave Digger and Eradicator ride trucks are permanently parked
on the beach in Wildwood, New Jersey each summer, giving rides to
all of the beach going fans. You'll find these trucks located next
to the NJHRA Office on the boardwalk. (Info courtesy Andrew Palochko
www.truckzone.com)
The Grave Digger Ride Truck has its own race course located at
Grave Digger headquarters. Beginning after April 1 of each year,
the Ride Truck is available for rides from dawn till dusk. The
last price I heard was $5.00 per person. Call ahead to be sure.
The Grave Digger Ride Truck can be reserved for birthday parties,
graduations, weddings - you name the celebration, and Grave Digger
will make it a "Monster of a good time!" All reservations are
subject to prior approval, and must be made at least one week in
advance for birthdays, and two weeks in advance for other events.
http://www.gravedigger.com
See also the ride truck listings further on in this document!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Have you ever rode in a Monster Truck??
---------------------------------------
A. Yes! I rode out for a parade lap and intro in the Equalizer Monster
Trax vehicle! And The Virginia Giant Racer! Plus, I've spent so much
time riding with passengers on The Virginia Giant Ride-On Truck I've
completely lost count!
Q. Have you ever driven a Monster Truck?
-------------------------------------
A. Gee, I just knew that would be the next Question!
Q. How can I get a Pit Pass??
--------------------------
A. First you need to find out, "Do I need a pit pass?" Pit Passes are given
to Media Representatives and people who are required to be in the Pit
Area during the show! If the event includes a `Pit Party' you won't need
a Pass for that (at most shows)!
If you really need a pass, then call the show promoter, tell them EXACTLY
why you need a pit pass and request one!
According to Andrew Palochko of Truckzone, Pit passes are available on
the USHRA site at www.ushra.com. Make sure there is a pit party prior to
the event.
Karin of Pace Motorsports added:
Pit passes are not available on our web site, however, if there is a pit
party, information as to where to obtain pit passes locally is always
listed on our events calendar.
http://www.ushra.com
Q. What is the killer box?
-----------------------
A. Let's call these by their official name, "Remote Ignition Interrupter"
or `RII'. This is a specialized radio receiver mounted in the truck
and a hand held transmitter tuned to the frequency of the RII. The
transmitter looks like any other `Walkie Talkie' but has the ability
to signal the Receiver with a special code!
The Remote Ignition Interrupter can be used to `interrupt' the
ignition by radio should the truck veer off the track and/or the
driver become incapacitated.
This `RII' attempts to shut off the engine but it doesn't stop or
"brake the truck".
Q. What are the lights in the Windshield for?
------------------------------------------
A. There are two or three lights mounted in the windshield of most
monster Trucks. One tells the track crew and starters when the
engine is actually running. The other two lights tell the track
official(s) who run the Remote Ignition Interrupters which side
the driver has chosen to run his `RII' receiver box on.
You will see a 2" X 2" sticker in the windshield with a number on
it from 1 to 10. This number is the radio channel number. A letter
also may indicate right or left for use during single performances.
Q. I saw the starter's lights on TV. Where can I get info on building a
set of those for our club?
--------------------------
A. Send me a private E-mail and I'll fix up a wiring diagram and E-mail
it back to you! The lights are just tractor clearance lamps with green
and yellow lens! The battery is a 12 car battery. and the switch is a
`SPDT' (single pole - double throw switch) with center off!
Q. Where can I rent a set of `Stop Motion Video Cameras' and Recorder
system?
-------
A. Find a `Surveillance Equipment' dealer and ask them for prices. Or
work a deal with them! Them things are pricey! And be very selective
where you set it up! You don't need a color system!
I own a B/W betamax system but have not considered renting it! Too much
custom setup work and cabling to get it positioned!
Q. What do they do at the drivers meetings?
----------------------------------------
A. Usually, there is a drivers meeting before the show, to discuss
the format of the show, any safety issues, and who gives the
signals to move a truck and when. So everybody involved with the
the show knows what is supposed to happen and when.
Q. I know the drivers wear seat belts, helmets and special suits. Can
you elaborate a little on what they have in the truck?
------------------------------------------------------
A. The drivers wear fire resistant suits, gloves, a helmet liner and
shoes. They are held into the seat by a standard 5 way racing harness.
The helmets are racing quality Snell Foundation approved (Minimum
rating is Snell 90). Most drivers also wear Helmet Restraints (Straps
running from underarm to clips on sides of helmet)!
Drivers must wear a neck collar and some drivers wear a `kidney belt'
to help absorb the impact compression forces on the spine and neck.
All MTRA certified race trucks must be equipped with a approved
onboard fire retardant system. The vehicle must also have a Halon
or ABC type 2-1/2 lb. (min.) fire extinguisher within the driver's
reach!
Q. How much does a Monster Truck cost?
-----------------------------------
A. Roughly, around $100,000 (not including the engine)! A engine can
cost $40,000 by itself. After that, you have to figure in how much
it costs to maintain the truck throughout the year. The cost of a
vehicle to move the Monster Truck is also a great initial expense.
Q. How long does it take to build a Monster truck?
-----------------------------------------------
A. It can take anywhere from 3 months to a year to build a monster
truck. This varies depending on how much time is put into detail
work and how many people are working on the project.
Q. When will BIGFOOT be appearing in my town?
------------------------------------------
A. For a listing of the most up-to-date BIGFOOT events, check out the
Appearance Schedule in the Tire Tracks section at The BIGFOOT WEB
PAGE:
http://www.bigfoot4x4.com

worth of information so that you only get the most accurate
information available. Along with the schedule, you can view
information about the event & get the telephone number of the
promoter putting on the event.
See also the calendar section of this FAQ!
Q. How can I get the autograph of my favorite BIGFOOT driver?
----------------------------------------------------------
A. There are a few different ways to accomplish this. One way is to
attend an event. A lot of times, there is a pit party before the
races where you can meet the drivers & get their autographs. There
is also a autograph table at many events either during intermission
or immediately after the event.
Q. How can I get a Tee-Shirt of my favorite truck(s)?
--------------------------------------------------
A. Check some of the Web pages! Sometimes you can use a Credit Card
over the Web but you might want to fax the card number or use the
telephone instead!
You may order a BIGFOOT picture or t-shirt from the BIGFOOT online
catalog found in the Merchandise section of The Bigfoot WEB Page.
If you want your item autographed, just request that the driver of
your choice sign the item, when placing the order.
http://www.bigfoot4x4.com/merch.html
Grave Digger has a excellent selection of merchandise. Shirts,
shoestrings, jewelry, and hats. They even have a deck of playing
cards last time I looked.
http://www.gravedigger.com/souvenir.htm
Most of the shows have a concession area, and sell all kinds of
mementoes including apparel items. And most trucks have a home
shop and are receptive to fan requests.

Q. How do I become a BIGFOOT Driver?
---------------------------------
A. To become a BIGFOOT Driver, you must be 25 years of age & have a
current CDL (commercial drivers license). You need to be in good
physical shape, have knowledge of mechanics, electrical & metal
fabrication before you are even considered for the crew. If you
make the crew, you would most likely serve 2 years apprenticeship
to learn to drive.
Q. I need to find out exactly how to get to a show! How can I get a
Map or directions?
------------------
A. Ask the promoter or venue first! If you have or can get the Street
