INFORMATION: Bill Oliver built the Unamed Untamed truck in 1984 to enter
in the trackter tire class, in mud bogging. It took three months work with
over 3,000 man hours to build it with about 12 of his friends who all shared
a common interest in the sport. The truck became a record breaker by becoming
one of the fastests trackter tire vechicles in mud bogging.
One thing which made this truck stand out was the fact that the drivers
seat was in the hood, so as to keep the truck weight level, as the engine
was very heavy.
In 1993 it was changed into a monster truck & is one hairy ride.
It is now owned by one of Bill's friends, Sammy Stergous who still runs
it.
