This BIGFOOT was completed on December 24, 2014 and did its first live event in Southaven, MS on January 9th, 2015. It won racing and freestyle that very first weekend with legendary driver Dan Runte behind the wheel. It went on to win that season championship, also winning in it 2016. #21 employs many of the features that made the earlier BIGFOOT #18 successful, with some tweaks and improvements. It has an even lower center of gravity chassis, long-travel triple-bypass shocks placed at a greater angle, and an even longer wheelbase, giving it unparalleled stability. This truck also utilized “zoomie” headers, giving it a very loud and unique sound as compared to other BIGFOOT trucks. After Dan Runte retired, Larry Swim went on to win 2 more championships with this truck. #21 is currently touring North America.
