INFORMATION: The Fastrax was the first vehicle not originally made by BIGFOOT.

Bob bought it off a friend from Colorado, in 1988.

When he first got it, it had two Chevy. engines, and it had a steering wheel to steer it.

He soon changed that, by putting two Ford engines in. As he found that it was very hard to steer at high speed, using a steering wheel, he changed it to two joysticks to control it.

It was originally over 12' wide & over 42,000lbs. It is now just over 8' wide & weighs under 24,000lbs.

It made it's first apperance in the fall of 1988 at the Pontiac Silverdome.
