Monster trucks have been around since the 1970s, and they have been a popular form of entertainment ever since. They are large, powerful vehicles that can perform incredible stunts like jumping over other cars, crushing other vehicles and more. But the question is, how fast can one of these powerful machines go?
The fastest monster truck in the world is known as Bigfoot.
This legendary truck has been setting records since 1981 and is still going strong. The record for the quickest run ever recorded by Bigfoot was set in 2016, when it completed a quarter mile drag race in just 7.36 seconds at a top speed of 141.6 mph. This incredible speed makes Bigfoot the undisputed champion of monster trucks.
Bigfoot’s closest competitor is known as Grave Digger. This truck has also been around for decades and has set some impressive speed records as well. Its fastest recorded quarter mile time was 7.45 seconds at a top speed of 140 mph – just 0.09 seconds slower than Bigfoot’s record.
It’s not just these two trucks that can hit impressive speeds; some other monster trucks have also achieved impressive times too. For example, Maximum Destruction holds the record for the fastest wheelie ever performed by a monster truck with a time of 5.8 seconds at 98 mph, while El Toro Loco holds the world record for the highest jump ever performed by a monster truck with an incredible 18 feet.
Conclusion:
It’s clear that monster trucks are capable of achieving remarkable speeds and performing amazing stunts – but Bigfoot remains the undisputed champion with its record-breaking 7.36 second quarter mile run at 141.6 mph!
