Grave Digger 30 was the 29th Grave Digger chassis, and the seventh built by Paul Cohen. The truck was a more modernized, and more stable version of Grave Digger 20, and its key feature was the green rims that were ran on this Grave Digger. This chassis has been dubbed "Last Ride" due to this chassis being the final chassis driven by Grave Digger's original creator, Dennis Anderson.
History[]
2014[]
Dennis Anderson debuted Grave Digger 30. At the World Finals, he tried to copy Todd Leduc's giant leap, but ended up nose diving into the ground & destroying the front end.
2015[]
Adam Anderson would drive the truck in West Lebanon.
2016[]
The chassis was rebuilt with a new roll cage, and a chrome body was added to the truck. During the international tour, however, the truck competed with the original black and green body, which it went back to running full time in 2017. Said chrome body was also run by Grave Digger 29, Grave Digger 31 and Grave Digger 32 for displays and some shows.
2017[]
On January 14th, the truck was involved in a wreck that injured Dennis during a show in Tampa. During a backflip attempt, the truck failed to rotate, and it came straight down on the roof, and as a result the roll cage partially collapsed. Dennis had to be helped from the truck by medics and was taken to the hospital, while the truck required chassis repairs. This would be his last show & only one during his 35th anniversary.
Following Dennis' injury, Carl Van Horn and Jon Zimmer took over the driving duties for the remainder of 1st quarter. Meanwhile, Tyler Menninga would also drive the truck at select shows.
The chrome body was run for the Grave Digger 35th Anniversary celebration and encore, it was driven by Ryan Anderson.
2018[]
The truck was modified and given to Brandon Vinson, who drove the truck on Triple Threat Series East. Heavy D drove the truck at World Finals XIX for a donut contest against his best friend in Max-D. In December, the chassis was retired, as Brandon moved to Grave Digger 31.
2023[]
The chassis was stripped of its parts, leaving just the roll cage. It was then put on display in Digger's Dungeon as a part of the "Rust in Piece" museum.
