http://web.archive.org/web/20040603113813/http://www.truckworld.com/Monster-Trucks/Monsters-Monthly/99-sep/news.htmlThere have been lots of rumors, questions and speculation buzzing around the pits and in our e-mail concerning two recent accidents involving Pablo Huffaker and Grave Digger. On July 16 there was a roll over accident at the Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, Maryland. As the result of a violent flip flying debris including parts of the fiberglass Grave Digger body landed in the stands among the crowd. No one was seriously injured and all minor injuries were treated and released that same evening. Sources say that most injuries were a result of the fans scrambling to get a piece of the famous Grave Digger body.
Colby, that is a good question. I don't remember seeing KK prior to '87 so my guess is it debuted sometime, perhaps early, that year (First Quarter?). Though it could have been late in '86. Steve has pictures of KK at the Silverdome, mud bogging against USA-1. Perhaps he can remind us of when that show was.Any idea how long the KK build took? Some of the HOF footage shown at the ceremony has DW in an arena show in early 1986. Just curious as to when KK debuted.
I think that was Jan of '87 guys. I would say KK was introduced late 86. It got mutilated by the track crew at the dome that night.It was stuck and they could not free it.Colby, that is a good question.
