  TNT Motorsports - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bigfoot, USA-1, Awesome Kong, Equalizer, Carolina Crusher, and King Krunch were among the most competitve trucks, while Dennis Anderson and Grave Digger became the most popular truck on the circuit, sending them to eventual superstardom.
In late 1990, TNT was bought out by SRO/Pace, the promoter who at the time owned the competitor United States Hot Rod Association sanctioning body, and all former TNT events became USHRA events.
Most vehicles continued to compete in the USHRA, however some monster truck owners, notable Everett Jasmer of USA-1, did not as they wished to only compete in open-qualifying races (as TNT was) rather than invitation-only events.

 CHURCH FATHERS: Commentary on the Apocalypse (Victorinus)
The fifth class, company, or association of saints, sets forth men who are careless, and who are carrying on in the world other transactions than those which they ought — Christians only in name.
I say, in respect of the square city, he shows forth the united multitude of the saints, in whom the faith could by no means waver.
And in that he says that the sun is not necessary in the city, he shows, evidently, that the Creator as the immaculate light shines in the midst of it, whose brightness no mind has been able to conceive, nor tongue to tell.
