INFORMATION: Paul Shafer started his racing career in stock car racing & then moved onto mud racing. His first mud racer was called the ‘Mud Patrol’ which he won the 1991 U.S. Hot Rod Mud Racing World Championship in. In 1993 he decided to move into racing monster trucks, so it was inevitable that the trucks name should be called Monster Patrol, and keeping with the mud racing tradition he added a big wing spoiler on the back of his truck, & another feature on the truck which makes it stand out, are the police lights on top of the cab. The Monster Patrol finished 7th in the 1996 Penda Points Series. At the 1997 Truck Fest Tom Meents, took the Monster Patrol truck to the finals, all three days of the event. He won the first day against the Grave Digger truck, but lost in the finals against Bear Foot & BIGFOOT on the other two days. But to make it to the final each day, show’s that the truck is one of the best.
