History
In 1985 Gary created the first Carolina Crusher and would mainly do displays until 1988 when he raced on the first nationwide TNT Tuff Trax tour. Porter stayed on the TNT circuit then moving to PENDA in 1991 where he won his sole championship that year. Porter would also compete with the USHRA including Monster Wars and the mid-late 90s Monster Jam events. Porter sold Carolina Crusher to Paul Shafer in 2001 as he joined fellow North Carolinian Dennis Anderson and Team Grave Digger. He stayed mainly in smaller arenas competing with Grave Digger 12 and 25. In 2014 for Carolina Crusher's 30th Anniversary the name was brought back with Porter behind the wheel.
