Yeah that would be COOL!

here is a list of the drivers:
Dan Runte
Rick Long
Ron Bachman
Rodney Tweedy
Nigel Morris
Alan Hartsock
Eric Meagher
Keith Sturgeon
Jerry Dalton
Brian Bertoletti
Amber Walker

A bunch of those cards signed and framed around an 8x10 of BIGFOOT would look MONSTEROUS! LOL!

I was working on the 1990 Classic monster truck set TTM a few years ago (now THAT took some sleuth work...there's no Meiselman address list for monster truck drivers!). Jim Kramer (probably the most notable former Bigfoot driver) can be had c/o Bigfoot, and I got Andy Brass (Bigfoot 8) and Donny Kessel (Bigfoot Fastrax) c/o home (don't remember the addresses at this point). Only Bigfoot-related one from the Classic set that I didn't get back was John Piant. I think at this point I'm 80-something out of 125 cards for the set.

I'm very happy that I got that one back. I'm a mechanical engineer and have an immense appreciation for the engineering and technology that goes into those trucks.

Sounds like I may have to do some digging for the addresses

[Steve2112]

Here's what I could come up with for the older drivers:

Andy Brass
160 Thornbrook Dr
Merlin, OR 97532

Rich Hooser (haven't tried this one, but I'd like to get him)
c/o Fox & Hound Bar & Grille
17416 Chesterfield Airport Road
St. Louis, MO 63005

Donny Kessel (not sure if this is still current, but it was as of Fall 2008)
224 Thrasher Rd
Chesapeake, VA 23320

Jim Kramer
Bigfoot 4X4
6311 N Lindbergh Blvd
Hazelwood, MO 63042

Gene Patterson
8121 Deer Haven Rd
Jefferson City, MO 65101

Kramer, Brass, Hooser and Patterson are probably the "Big 4" of past and present Bigfoot drivers (though Dan Runte is up there too). Gene Patterson is really cool. In addition to driving for Bigfoot, he also played the role of the "mysterious" driver "Colt Cobra" of the Snake Bite truck in the early 1990s. I talked with Gene via e-mail in 2008 right around the time he signed my cards, and he was nice as could be.

Wow man, thanks a ton for those addresses. I've got three extra's of that card so i'll be sending them off to three of those guys for sure

He is 95 actually.

[ToppsCollector1]

wow. Amazing to see hes still alive at his age. I can only think of one other former major leaguer around his age thats still alive.

He is a really nice guy though. I also got his autograph TTM. You can check my thread if you want.

[ToppsCollector1]

ive seen it actually. Why cant more guys be like him?

[97S281_27]

Yeah, Mr. Trucks seems like a very nice guy and someone who really cares about his fans. It seems like most of the returns I see form him come with a little note from him and there aren't very many people out there who take the time to write to their fans.

He also wrote a nice note to me. Bobby Doerr, Johnny Edwards, Ron Cey and Trucks are the best!
