    Thanks for the great tribute to Jerry Tyrone Malone. I always liked his trucks. Got to see his trucks at some shows in the 80s.

    Great video
    I hauled the Super Boss truck all over Europe in 1989 ,I drove the Papa truck hauler. We had some crazy times over there driving our American big rigs . I got pulled over in Italy for speeding and had a machine gun pointed at me. Before Malone gave me that job, I was just a poor boy truck driver from Bakersfield California and now I’m in Italy ,making cops mad and looking at the end of a machine gun. I became a man that day :>)

    Great Video, I raced him at Union Grove Wis. in the 70’s. He raced the winner of the E.T. Bracket and if I remember right a local cop. No he is not forgotten.

    What happened to the Super Boss’s original front wheels? It has more standard-looking front wheels now…

    If I remember right, Tyrone was killed when the car he was driving collided with another semi on his way to a show. Don’t quote me but I do know it was with another truck.

    A great tribute to a very special man. From a car salesman, to dragging a whale around the states, then to fame as the “Grandfather of Rigs” i had the oppertunity to meet and get to know him personally. First in Kamloops, and then Prince George, B.C. A drag meet which I organized in the summer of 1981. It was called “King of the Hill” May his memory live forever, in the hearts that he touched. Mine was one. God Bless

    I fuond this…Tyrone went to Phoenix to plans for a Trucking Hall of Fame he planned to build with a partner in Tennessee. The museum was to hold all his racing trucks, Little Irvy and pay homage to famous trucks and drivers.

    Instead, Delbert Malone said his brother was killed after he fell asleep on the long drive home and ran into a trucker.

    “The Highway Patrol said the trucker did everything he could to avoid him and even ran off the road, but Tyrone hit the side of his truck.
