From the time he was born in 1955, Tim Arfons was exposed to a work ethic that combined speed, excitement, showmanship and "thinking outside of the box." Growing up under the watchful eye of his father, the legendary three-time outright land speed record holder, Art Arfons, it was probably only natural Tim would follow his father's path. As he grew to adulthood, Tim watched and later began to participate in his Dad's quests in the famed "Green Monster" to be the "Fastest Man on Earth" on the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah.
Another of the off-of-center stunt/exhibition vehicles for the indoor Monster Truck events was the "Brilliant Bob" comedy stunt act. For this, Tim utilized the remnants of the Jet Jumper after its' final crash, particularly the roll cage/driver pod assembly.
