Thunder Acres In the News:

"After 20 years building and driving monster trucks all over the country, Jim Bendzick is switching gears. He’s still tinkering and experimenting but now he’s doing it on his land and filming it for his YouTube channel, Thunder Acres. He has a lot of interesting machinery and obstacles on his land, including a monster truck and a powerful launcher, plus a bus with a dirt ramp to jump it. Even though he’s not on the monster truck circuit anymore, he’s still finding ways to entertain people."
