BIGFOOT #15 made its debut at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, in November 1994.  #15 placed 3rd in the 1995 Penda Points Series & in 1996, with the WCW Motorsports sponsored Hulkster & Stinger bodies, it locked in an easy 2nd Place, behind BIGFOOT 14.  It took its first ever points series championship in 1997 sporting the Snake Bite body with driver Eric Meagher.  With driver Eric Tack at the wheel, it made the second longest monster truck long jump ever, at 148 feet, 6 inches, and in the process became only the second monster truck to jump over a 727 jetliner, on Sept. 12, 1999.  In 2000, BIGFOOT 15 took first place in the new ProMT (Professional Monster Trucks) racing series.  In 2001, it took second place, behind teammate Dan and BIGFOOT 14.  6 more championships were won over the next few years with 15, with various drivers.  #15, along with 14, have competed in the most events of any individual trucks in the BIGFOOT fleet.  This truck is still competing in North America.
