Firestone Wilderness (BIGFOOT 15)
 

This was the first show for BIGFOOT, running as the Firestone Wilderness truck.
 

 Firestone Wilderness vs Equalizer
In the obstacle course, the finals came down to Firestone Wilderness, with Eric Meager driving, vs the Equalizer, driven by David Morris. At the first turn, Equalizer went up on two wheels and couldn't hold the truck down and ended up tipping the truck over. That put the Equalizer truck out for the rest of the evening. That also gave the Firestone Wilderness truck, it's first ever win.
 

Virginia Giant
In the drag racing, the first round saw, Dan Patrick in the Samson truck, vs Executioner, driven by Tim Hall. At the end of the track, Executioner couldn't stop & had to turn the truck. But as he was  going too fast the truck  rolled over. The truck wasn't badly damaged & was able to come back to race against Samson again in round three, but lost. The finals came down to Bulldozer vs Samson. Samson won by about two hairs.
