In celebration of the 20 year history of Monster Truck Racing and its roots in the St. Louis community, the first class of Hall of Fame inductees will be honored at half-time.  On July 26, the Monster Truck Challenge pays tribute to Jack Wilman, driver of the legendary Taurus, originally based in Granite City, Illinois.  Another team synonymous with Monster Truck Racing is Pontoon Beach’s Fred Shafer and the Bear Foot.  Rounding out the first class of Hall of Fame members will be the man who piloted the big, blue Ford that started it all, Bigfoot driver Jim Kramer.  This is an event you do not want to miss!
