PLEASE make this an annual thing. This honestly made me wanna tear up watchin my childhood come back alive straight off the VCR tapes 🔥🔥🔥 The OGs STILL got it 32 years later. Incredible 🙌🙌🙌 Whoever put this together, thank you 🙏
@@Spyke-lz2hl It would draw in different a bigger locations with a bigger lineup for sure. There's plenty of ways to do it multiple times and still make it special.
@@nickcrim6735 I can get on board with that! Different locations, a tour of sorts. There are plenty of former drivers who they could cycle through so they wouldn’t kill any of them.
You have no idea how much JOY this brought me!!! I've been watching old TNT reruns of monster truck racing, while I've been building my Clodbuster remote control monster truck- and seeing most everyone again, doing well in this video- was like a family reunion! I hope everyone is still doing well. What a time it must have been to be alive. Even if I was only a child at the time of seeing my first MT race in Tacoma, WA- seeing you all again means the world to me!
@@chadha1412 no doubt they have money. But Bigfoot didn’t give in to the money with Feld. There was a deal on the table many many years ago. But Bob Chandler backed out because of the direction the USHRA was heading. Instead he kept the business in the family and now it’s ran by his daughter Ann and son in law Bob Trent. They’ve been doing a great job of keeping Bigfoot mainstream without the need of Feld marketing. Many monster truck teams are successful without Feld and even more so now with independent promotions putting on better quality shows at half the cost to fans to attend
To see these guys drive again is like going to a high school reunion but this is much better and to see names we haven't heard from in years. To see these guys is like seeing old friends or family members, the pioneers of monster truck racing and the two greatest monster truck commentators Scott Douglas and Army Armstrong. Please welcome- Gary Porter- Carolina Crusher Greg Holbrook- Equalizer Mike Wine- Outlaw Kid Rarig- Thunder Chicken John Kwasniewski- Buffalo Tremor Dave Wieczorek- Night Life Jon Breen- Mad Dog Mike Vaters- No Problem Also the truck that had a mix of several trucks paint schemes, Bigfoot, Grave Digger, Awesome Kong, Clydesdale, Whiskey Business, Pony Express and Micro Machines was freaking cool as well. And RIP to those who couldn't make it- Jesse Birgy in Playin' for Keeps, John Moore in No Problem, Rich Hooser for Team Bigfoot and Steve Wilke for USA-1.
I'm so glad someone recorded this!! This is my childhood coming back. I was obsessed back then! The trucks all look amazing,but that No Problem looks extra 🔥😮🔥😲🔥
Too cool every monster truck nerds dream show. Great to see all the legends on the track the stands and well as the mic. Thanks for filming and sharing seen Mikie Vaters Jr there hopefully to see V2 Vids return.
Great to see these pioneers drive again!.. Rod Litzau needs to do the next one in the USA-1.. we've been friends for about 25 yrs and fun fact; he even built one of my trucks which was basically a small version of the USA-1 🤙
Man these Legends look different than the last time I seen him drive a monster truck I almost did not recognize Johnny k or Greg Holbrook they look totally different how time has changed on these trucks I was 10 years old when I first watched the monster truck event on TV and these guys were the ones that was running the trucks
Thank you so much for putting this GR8 show together, I wish I was there to watch it all unfold. This was history in the making watching stars of the 80s and 90s in the world of Monster Trucks! I sure do miss the good ol days watching them television way back in the 80's when I was in my early 30s, but again thanks for putting this together!👍
Those trucks look freaking amazing! Great to see a decent turnout by fans too! I can’t believe the authenticity, all the way down to the officials shirts! Wow!!
2023 TNT Unfinished Business 2. These 6 come back but add 6 more trucks. USA 1 with Rod Litzau, King Krunch with Scott Stevens, Steve Dane in Awesome Kong, Paublo Huffaker in Just Showin Off, Dennis Anderson in Grave Digger, and Andy Brass in Bigfoot.
Only issue there is grave digger can't compete in another series Dennis made the name but sold most rights and the gd name to feld that's why you don't see digger doing any other shows but mj ... it would be great to see but never happen. And the TNT made me feel like I was 6yrs old again watching this on TV and vcr tapes going out and buying the micro machines I love the nostalgia
My goodness Scott Douglas and army just wow those 2 together is just great to see and hear I hate what my has become its no longer about the fans it's about feld stuffing it's pockets I thought that the hot wheels monster trucks was going to make it but haven't heard much out of them renegade did a awsome job with this event they should do it in many venues outdoors also good to see Gary porter in his truck again idk if he is still with gd and mj and if he owns the rights to his trucks name anymore
They couldn’t get USA1 because the new owner is a douche. Didn’t want nothing to do with this event. Bought up a ton of trucks and is half assing them all. Being that USA1 was the first national champion the truck should’ve been there. Bigfoot should’ve shown up too being they were the last national champion crowned. Hard to imagine that Bigfoot still has sour grapes over the 1990 season but anything is possible. Either way. The event was still a success and Mike Harper and the rest of his crew did a fantastic job.
Was he there? Not on this video though, right? Otherwise I totally missed it. He and Douglass were fantastic, very similar to the pairing with Armstrong.
If they do this again, I'd also love to see a Krimson Krusher with the 70s Ford body. (Double tires would be awesome too, but not hoping for too much).
I'd love to see a league created for older name trucks to race in and by race I mean ''race'' not destroy them in long freestyles. Get Bigfoot and USA-1 back in on it.
It could happen, even for the modern monsters. I reached out to Mikey Vaters and the impression I got was that the industry was comfortable being a sideshow. I think some enterprising person with a fair amount of cash and a bit of a get it done attitude could make it happen. You wouldnt even have to get many big names on board before others would follow. Places for tracks would be easy enough to find. Except Bloomsburg, they burnt that bridge. Sponsors... Sponsors would be a big thing. Difficult but still doable.
Gary Porter in The Carolina Crusher, that's my favorite truck of all time, I remember meeting him at the Ag Center at one of MANY shows I attended (Thank you Dad) he signed a hat for me. The red and yellow truck with yellow wheels was my favorite version and the one I remember most. You have Bigfoot and Grave Digger, but Carolina Crusher is THE Truck.
Mike Vaters seemed so proud to give that sky wheelie to the Moores. John’s wife (Heidi?) must have been so proud of what the two of them accomplished to see the response to that truck.
Absolutely amazing show. So many here already said, huge flood of childhood memories, I feel the same there. This is monster trucking at its core. Not super circuit courses with pre-crushed cars by bucket loaders. Some said this should be an annual event and another said they should have a retro series. I couldn't agree more.
The myths and the monsters good to see the old names come back.Good to hear Mr.Scott Douglass and Can't forget the voice of tnt and tnn truck and tractor power the man army armstrong
It would have been nice to see the whole line up there. Bigfoot , grave digger. USA 1. Awesome Kong. But nice to see those who turned out. Even the crush cars!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm so disappointed I didn't see this until right now. I would have loved to run down to see this. I grew up seeing VHS recordings of these events my dad had.
Only thing missing was a digger tribute but we all know feld wasn’t gonna let that happen, or it wouldn’t have been easy. Anyways what an event, so cool seeing legends come together and run again!
A big THANK YOU to everyone that helped put the Unfinished Business event together. I really appreciate it, and enjoyed it. I just hope that it’s not the last one….. 🇺🇸🏁🏆
This event is everything that a monster truck event should be. Crush cars, classic trucks, and old legends in the sport. Nothing like the Monster Jam bullshit nowadays.

If it was annual it wouldn’t be as special. The crowd definitely wouldn’t be there for an annual event. This was a great one off.
Dude I felt the same way not gonna lie 😀
Took the words outta my mouth. Recorded Tuff Trax every Saturday 💪

Seeing all these trucks together is just beautiful.
Great seeing all these trucks and drivers again! What a flood of memories.
Awesome show! Wished others from the 1990 TNT era was involved, but the show was definitely something to see.
Nothing Feld/MJ can do to ever top this. Absolutely amazing
Field sucks
Agreed
U said it man! Good to see these guys. Couldn't belive when Rod Litzu walked out.
They could wave their cash as a buy out like they do to everyone like including Bigfoot
@@chadha1412 no doubt they have money. But Bigfoot didn’t give in to the money with Feld. There was a deal on the table many many years ago.

Holy cow!! I remember seeing every one of these old trucks back in the day. What a great show and memory from my youth.
Can’t help but smile as I watch this.

To see these guys is like seeing old friends or family members, the pioneers of monster truck racing and the two greatest monster truck commentators Scott Douglas and Army Armstrong. Please welcome-

Dave Wieczorek- Night Life
Jon Breen- Mad Dog
Mike Vaters- No Problem
Also the truck that had a mix of several trucks paint schemes, Bigfoot, Grave Digger, Awesome Kong, Clydesdale, Whiskey Business, Pony Express and Micro Machines was freaking cool as well.
And RIP to those who couldn't make it- Jesse Birgy in Playin' for Keeps, John Moore in No Problem, Rich Hooser for Team Bigfoot and Steve Wilke for USA-1.
We 100% need more

This is one of the best monster truck shows I have seen in a long time

and Bennet Clark and Clydesdale

so awesome to see all these people again
Thanks for sharing this is awesome, brings back so many good memories from my childhood, the originals are still the best!
Monster trucks goin old school? Color me amazed! Not to mention its always awesome to see scott Douglas again!
Was he there? Not on this video though, right? Otherwise I totally missed it. He and Douglass were fantastic, very similar to the pairing with Armstrong.
This is awesome.. as some one who grew up watching the penda racing this was amazing
This has been by hope and dreams for a long time!!
I sure wish they would bring back these old trucks and run them on the circuit again.
Man I miss these days and the penda points days. So good seeing these men fly through the air again.
It would be nice to see TNT do it's tour again. The way racing should be. No roundy round circle crap. And crush cars!!!
If they do this again, I'd also love to see a Krimson Krusher with the 70s Ford body. (Double tires would be awesome too, but not hoping for too much).
I'd love to see a league created for older name trucks to race in and by race I mean ''race'' not destroy them in long freestyles. Get Bigfoot and USA-1 back in on it.
Yes! Mad Dog, First Blood, Taurus, Kodiak, Clydesdale, Outlaw etc

Lots of folks forgot that’s his main truck the Carolina Crusher during his time in monster jam everyone only remembers his time in team gravedigger
Mike Vaters seemed so proud to give that sky wheelie to the Moores. John’s wife (Heidi?) must have been so proud of what the two of them accomplished to see the response to that truck.
Awesome! It's like the throwback schemes raced at the Darlington race. 🤙🤙
I counted the days every week waiting till Sunday to see these Legends pioneer the sport
OMG Army Armstrong too!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic - Loved the vid - memories and these trucks still rock!
It would be nice if they did another one of these but Andy brass and and the original USA 1 driver
are you talking about Everett Jasmer the creator of USA-1 or Steve Wilke (who passed away in 08) or Rod Litzau
Probably talking about Rod. TNT!!
How cool is this!!! Takin it back to the Tuff Trax days!
Absolutely amazing show. So many here already said, huge flood of childhood memories, I feel the same there. This is monster trucking at its core. Not super circuit courses with pre-crushed cars by bucket loaders. Some said this should be an annual event and another said they should have a retro series. I couldn't agree more.

Thank you very much for posting this!
whoa this brings back so many memories i LOVED carolina crusher so much
The trucks look awesome
Equalizer looks amazing
this is awsome i remember watching these guys as a kid
This was a amazing experience. It's about time
I gotta have to have that TNT flag😍😝
Flip ya for it. LOL.
Awesome show! Hope they do another one some time.
This is AWESOME!!!!!!
It would have been nice to see the whole line up there. Bigfoot , grave digger. USA 1. Awesome Kong. But nice to see those who turned out. Even the crush cars!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Be cool to seen Dennis there with an old paint scheme
The Carolina crusher looks awesome
It’s enough to make this big kid cry I do hope this starts a trend
This is amazing!
Superrrrrr awsome love it
I'm so disappointed I didn't see this until right now. I would have loved to run down to see this. I grew up seeing VHS recordings of these events my dad had.
This is such an awesome event! Shame I couldn't attend since I'm on the other side of the Atlantic ☹
Best ever bro!!!!!!!!!!!
That intro brought back memories
Only thing missing was a digger tribute but we all know feld wasn’t gonna let that happen, or it wouldn’t have been easy. Anyways what an event, so cool seeing legends come together and run again!
At least they managed to reference GD with the TNT tribute and a video of dennis, that was cool to see.
I love how Is there's Scott duglas
Good coverage bro.
A big THANK YOU to everyone that helped put the Unfinished Business event together. I really appreciate it, and enjoyed it. I just hope that it’s not the last one….. 🇺🇸🏁🏆
If this happens again I will be there !
i recommend getting a new Fujifilm camera. it would look like a movie
amazing. ❤️
I would love to see a legendary matchup, Grave Digger with the Digger 3 scheme vs Equalizer..
This show was majestic. Noway anyone will top it but please try
Awesome event! Brought back some memories, too bad USA-1 wasn’t there.
Was the guy staging the trucks at the starting line Mike Speller?
Yes it was
Holbrook in the equalizer was the best driver there ever was. Balls to the wall 100% of the time
Good crowd!
This event is everything that a monster truck event should be. Crush cars, classic trucks, and old legends in the sport. Nothing like the Monster Jam bullshit nowadays.
Makes my hair stand on end..
would be sick if they put these trucks in the jam ngl
Really kicking myself for not going to this.
Why does Thunder Chicken sit so high lol
The last time I seen the original Buffalo trimmer it is in a junkyard and I don't know what happened to it
Why did Gary Porter retire again?? The man can still handle a truck better than most
At 1:14 you can see me talking to Phil in the stands lol
To bad these weren't the actual trucks
I like the way you start the vid but the low quality ruins it. Why didn't you do this in HD?
It may be in HD but TH-cam hasn't finished rendering it yet. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, tbh.
