TRUCK HISTORY
|
| The
best way to sum up the building of Mechanical Mischief is to use the title of
an old Johnny Cash song, “One Piece at a Time.” That is exactly how Jim Burns
created his Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam® truck. In an effort of
patience and perseverance that took years, Burns finally was able to realize
his dream of competing behind the wheel once he finished building Mechanical
Mischief. After spending several years owning and competing in drag racers and
demolition derby cars, Burns decided to sell those machines, using that money
to build a small shop, where in 2000, he began the process of building
Mechanical Mischief. Burns worked two full-time jobs over the next six years,
all the while continuing his monster build piece by piece. Finally Mechanical
Mischief was complete and Burns began competing in his pride and joy at Monster
Jam events in 2007. |
