    Do you realize something? Let me tell you! If the Hills Department of Green County sees those videos that you put on the damn internet, the could condemn our house and we would have to move out of it?

    For some reason whenever I heard the name Bob Chandler pre internet of course I always thought of some tough long-haired greaser guy with tattoos. Then I saw a photo of Bob Chandler and i thought "wow your kidding me that guy invented Big Foot." Talk about a shock.

    Back in the day I remember seeing Bigfoot the first time they started crushing cars at tractor pulls and it was amazing. Now tractor pulls are extinct in most places and it’s Monster Jam. Thank you Bob Chandler for starting an amazing form of entertainment!

      Same here. Saw first show back in 87 and it was awesome. Took my boys to monster jam last month and it’s completely different from what it used to be. Bigfoot was my favorite and this guy is definitely a pioneer.

    Clearly nobody heard of Arfons. He pioneered the jet engine drag cars in the 60s. I have a magazine with his jet powered Dart in it. Bob did extreme 4x4, Arfons did extreme drag cars
