The BAD BOY BIGFOOT #3 is finished and it is the baddest one yet!

Brad Shaw designed the new scheme for the BAD BOY and it is incredible! Old school -Von Dutch-type flames and flat black paint make this year’s BAD BOY stand out even more than ever!

The BAD BOY truck is usually driven by Larry Swim. Larry began driving with BIGFOOT about 3 years ago with CFP and BIGFOOT. Larry was injured this summer at an outdoor event. Basically Larry’s back was broken and he jammed his spine down into the old style seat that was in the truck so hard that his spinal column was damaged – Thank God he was not paralyzed. Larry had just won his 2nd Winter Nationals Championship and his future was somewhat gloomy with a ride to the hospital and a doctor telling him he was lucky. Luck did not have anything to do with it – this guy is one tough hombre.

To give him time to heal BIGFOOT has hired one of the top names in Monster Trucks and that is former Bigfoot teammate Eric Tack. Eric has won many races and is a freestyle maniac, no tailgate is safe! We welcome Eric to the schedule even if it is on a limited basis; we know the BAD BOY will continue to be the truck to be reckoned with.

Larry will be back in the saddle (with a new style seat) by February and will have enough events to get plenty of points to run for the MONSTER TRUCK GRAND NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP in Pocatello on Saturday April 16th.

But for now it’s:

Tack on the ATTACK!

Go BAD BOY!

GET WELL LARRY!

Hall Bros. Racing recently made some changes to the staff to get ready for the 2011 season. Jeff Bauer, from Milwaukee, Wi has joined the team, along with Christian Norman, who comes to the snowy Midwest from Florida. Travis Howard has left the team to return to North Carolina.

Jeff is a long time fan of the sport. “We used to visit with him at the races all the time. He is a hard core Dodge guy, with some really cool classic Mopars in his collection. He is very good with the wrenches, and we are excited to have him on board” said team manager Tim Hall. Christian comes to the team having most recently served with Rich Blackburne’s Viper team. “He wants to learn more, and he has a tremendous work ethic. I think he can go really far in this sport” added Hall.

Travis Howard has left the team for personal reasons. “Travis told us he needed to get back to North Carolina to handle some things, and we respect that. He did a great job for us, and we wish him the best”, said Tim Hall.

The team will run a full schedule in 2011, including events on the Monster Jam series, the Monster Nationals series, and the 4 Wheel Jamboree series. In addition, Hall Bros. Racing will once again work with the Dodge Motorsports activation program, and fill out the schedule with appearances for the RAM truck brand and Hotsy pressure washers. “There are a lot of new things planned for 2011, and I am very excited. Watch for more announcements coming soon. It is going to be a great year! ” said Hall.
