Background:
This track was run on March 24, 2007.
It was the final venue for the 2006-2007 season.
It held the debut of both Captain's Curse and Grave Digger's 25th Anniversary chrome body.
Batman won the first of his back to back racing wins here, with John Seasock behind the wheel.
Captain's Curse won the 2007 Freestyle championship here, making his debut all the more intense.
It held the Grave Digger 25th Anniversary encore, which consisted of multiple Grave Diggers with the black 25th Anniversary body freestyling, including an extremely rare green ghost 25th Anniversary variant, based off the green ghost ran all of the 2005-2006 season.
This is one of the only World Finals tracks not currently published to Sim Monsters. It was found in an archive of old Sim Monsters files.
Yeah, kind of outdated. But you can finally use that Captain's Curse and chrome Digger to freestyle on it.
Also compatible with 0.37.

Blacksmith was a monster truck built and driven by Pablo Huffaker in 2001, and made frequent appearances in many events until 2007. It was piloted an extensive list of talent, including Pablo Huffaker, when he wasn't behind the wheel of a Grave Digger truck, Ryan Huffaker, Aaron Basl, Carl Van Horn, and Norm Miller. The truck is most famous for its wild crash into the dumpsters at World Finals II, but also pulled off feats such as becoming the runner-up in the World Finals V, and winning Pablo his first World Finals championship in 2007 after the truck was converted to Captain's Curse. After its 2007 victory, the Captain's Curse name was transferred onto a new chassis, and the original Blacksmith chassis was retired.
A man once asked me "last one wasn't good enough? XD". To that, I replied "nope, my work is never done until it's perfect". Many advancements were made over the previous iteration of the pack, including fixed nodes, updated props, and improved accuracy. Merry Christmas!
The DEFINITIVE Blacksmith collection, featuring EVERY VERSION that EVER ran, as well as Captain's Curse before its chassis swap.

Grave Digger XIV was a monster truck built and driven by Dennis Anderson in 2001, and continued to operate under different drivers from 2004 to 2010. After winning the World Finals Freestyle Championship in 2000, while having a sub-par head-to-head track record all season, Dennis decided to build Grave Digger XIV as a way to increase racing performance, and maintain freestyle performance after leaving Grave Digger VII. The truck debuted in 2001. Although having not won Dennis any Championships, this build is most famous for being piloted by Dennis during his 20th Anniversary season in 2002. Dennis later passed the truck down to Grave Digger and Blacksmith driver Carl Van Horn in 2004, while Dennis relocated to the freshly built Grave Digger XIX, which won him the World Finals Racing Championship that year.
A project that required much patience, much time, much effort, and a whole lot of people. A lot of fun to make, besides some ups and downs that may have been had. Glad to have been able to step up my truck making game with this!

About this truck:
Captain's Curse is a truck previously owned by Pablo Huffaker (now under the ownership of FELD as Pablo moved on to drive Grave Digger full time). It ran on the Blacksmith chassis for the majority of it's life until Alex Blackwell designed a Cohen chassis for it in 2013.
The truck ran at World Finals VIII, where Pablo Huffaker took home his first and only championship to date, the 2007 Freestyle Champion title.
The truck competed in every World Finals since then, except for World Finals XVII, much to the fan's surprise.
After Alex Blackwell was transferred to Megalodon, the truck was retired for it's second time (first being in 2012 until World Finals XIII), this time it's return is unknown and is to be announced.
About this file:
This is going to be the last truck that does not get my complete focus. Looking back and looking at other's content, I see many imperfections with the truck. The shocks don't connect to the chassis, the 4-links don't connect to the axles, etc. So from now on, every truck I do will have complete focus and no feature will be overlooked. I may even give Blacksmith and Captain's Curse a prop/node beam revamp someday. You'll never know when it'll come. Just be patient.

About this truck:
Fuel Injection is a truck owned by Matthew Tyrrell (LordFrosting) and was created by myself.
The truck runs a HEMI engine and PEI chassis. The body paint is semi-based off of the PENNZOIL Skyline raced in the All Japan Grand Touring Cup.
PENNZOIL signed a contract with Matthew and the truck became PENNZOIL Fuel Injection.
Perpetual Destruction II and PENNZOIL Fuel Injection share the same chassis as they were originally going to be touring partners, it is currently unknown if it will remain that way.
About this pack:
PENNZOIL Fuel Injection was an idea I had that sort of related to the JGTC PENNZOIL Skyline car raced in 1995-2000. It was originally going to be a touring partner of and in a pack with Perpetual Destruction II. LordFrosting expressed interest in the truck so he is now the permanent driver and owner of the name. It shares the same chassis as Perpetual Destruction II, which will debut later this month as long as the body is completed on time.

This pack is 100% STANDALONE! It does not need to be extracted into the V4 pack, nor does it need any added textures. It is also compatible with both 0.37 and 0.4, as I've tested it in both and everything seems to work flawlessly.
This is NOT an open custom. You must ask LordFrosting if you can use this truck in leagues or events.
About this truck:
Blacksmith was a monster truck that debuted in the 2001 Monster Jam season. It was one of Pablo Huffaker's self-owned trucks that he drove when he was not behind the wheel of Grave Digger.
The truck toured and made it to World Finals II. The truck showed fierce competition in racing, until a nasty accident flipped Pablo into the wall protection at the back of the track, putting him out of racing. He drove Ragin' Steel as a non-competing run that night for freestyle.
The truck debuted a new paint scheme in 2002, not much different from the old one. It ran the logo we know as Blacksmith today.
The truck appeared in World Finals III and IV, the latter as an AutoZone sponsored truck, with the logo slapped literally everywhere. This Blacksmith was driven by Carl Van Horn, as Pablo Huffaker had filled in for Dennis Anderson under Grave Digger 16 that night.
In 2004, the famous "spark" paint had debuted. The truck ran red beadlocked rims and grey non-beadlocked rims from time to time.
In 2005, the truck ran deep purple beadlocked rims and a Jolly Rodger flag on the back.
In 2007, the truck was given to Aaron Basl to run the season with, until World Finals VIII, Pablo retired the truck, and he debuted Captain's Curse. The truck ran the same chassis and body, but had a new "pirate" theme paint. He won the 2007 Freestyle Championship that year.
About this pack:
Blacksmith was the first truck I ever attempted to make. I dunno why, I just liked it at the time. I still do. I went through many different versions, each one getting better than the last. Some of which never saw release. I decided to start over from V5 for some reason, so this pack is technically V6, even though the chassis had been rebuilt many times. This is also the first released truck or truck pack to feature a custom node/beam made by me. I had taken inspiration from Alan E's interpretation of the pack, and if he were not around or hadn't released his pack, I would've kept making Crapsmiths. I definitely thank him for this as he plays a key role in my content creating in Sim Monsters. So anyway, the pack includes a total of 7 trucks at a whopping 100 MB file size. Prepare your internets fools.

Background:
Blacksmith was introduced in 2001, and had a relatively decent season with Pablo Huffaker behind the wheel.
He was invited to World Finals 2, but had a nasty crash in his race against Blue Thunder. He ran an unscored freestyle in Ragin' Steel that night.
Blacksmith was revamped with a new logo and paint scheme in 2002. This was run until 2004.
In 2004 Pablo repeatedly made World Finals appearances, and introduced the famous spark paint at World Finals 5. He nearly won the racing championship, but lost to Dennis Anderson in the Grave Digger in the Finals, ironically.
Pablo repeatedly made more Finals appearances, but had to fill in for an injured Dennis Anderson in World Finals 7. Carl Van Horn drove Blacksmith here.
In 2007 Blacksmith ran it's final season with Aaron Basl behind the wheel. At World Finals 8, the truck was finally put to rest, as Captain's Curse was unveiled, running the same chassis but different, and a more crowd favored body.
In 2010 Pablo had ANOTHER nasty crash into the stands at World Finals 10, in his race against Maximum Destruction. The footage was censored on Speed but was leaked on YouTube shortly after.
Captain's Curse still runs today, but did not make a World Finals 17 appearance, much to everyone's shock.
A spin off of the truck, called Pirate's Curse, was introduced in 2016. It has a 3D pirate-skull head as a body, with the logo being Captain's Curse's logo, but with "Pirate's" in place of "Captain's."
THIS HAS BEEN TESTED IN BOTH 0.37 AND 0.4 AND IS STANDALONE. NO ERRORS HAVE BEEN FOUND. PLEASE COMMENT OR PM ME IF YOU FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK.

Background:
Grave Digger 12 was the 14th variant of the Grave Digger monster truck (counting the red panel and blue/silver grain truck).
It was built in 1996 in Kill Devil Hills, NC at Digger's Dungeon. It had a much longer wheelbase than any other Grave Digger, setting it apart from the 8 other short-based (3 were not actual monster trucks) Grave Diggers.
It was driven by Dennis Anderson all through 1996 to 1999, and with it, he won the USHRA Championship in 1999.
With the introduction of the Grave Digger 7 rebuild in 2000, Grave Digger 12 was passed down to Gary Porter, while Dennis campaigned in Digger 7, with which he won the first World Finals Freestyle Championship.
Gary Porter ran this Digger until 2010. The final show was in Wildwood, New Jersey.
Shortly after, the chassis was revived and ran as Grave Digger the Legend, driven by the late Tony Farrell (rest in peace). After this event, the chassis was officially retired and has never seen another show since.
Requested by @Skyliner849, I figured "Well this will be interesting." This is the only Digger I'll have under my belt for a while, as me and most other people are getting tired of seeing Diggers all over SYP.
The truck isn't 100% accurate, but I'd say it's a fair 95%. The only major flaws I'd see are the dashboard and the shocks. And trust me, the paint looks better in game than in the thumbnails.
THIS HAS BEEN TESTED IN 0.37 AND 0.4 TO BE STANDALONE.

Background:
Perpetual Destruction is a monster truck owned and driven by Mr. Self Destruct.
This is version 1 as the previous version was dysfunctional and needed to be scrapped.
This is a custom being run in leagues by Mr. Self Destruct.
Body is a Ford F-150, running a CRD? Madusa chassis.
It was "introduced to Monster Jam" in 2016.
Multiple versions of this name have been planned.
Well, after the first one was so buggy, decided to revamp it. Yes it is based off of Black and Blue Bigfoot (loosely and coincidentally), yes it is running a Madusa chassis, yes it is running BKTs, and yes this will not work in 0.37 due to crashing.
The interior is a little wonky with the dashboard and pooe because I was half paying attention when making this and didn't see the chassis rod covering the dash. Oh well. Maybe in PPII it'll get fixed.
THIS HAS BEEN TESTED IN 0.4 TO BE STANDALONE. THIS WILL NOT WORK IN 0.37 DUE TO CRASHING. PM ME WITH ANY 0.4 ERRORS YOU MAY FIND. 0.37 ERRORS WILL BE IGNORED.

THIS IS NOT AN OPEN CUSTOM. PLEASE ASK ME BEFORE USING THIS IN LEAGUES OR FUN RUNS.
Background:
Driven by me because it's a custom.
Made in 2016.
It's a custom so you get the idea.
Has been tested in 0.4 to be a standalone.
New version coming soon.
Meh first custom! My "Cancer Funky Blacksmith" was more of a repli-custom. I had come up with the name in LeMaddog's thread about what I would drive in real life. I doubt I'll get permission from Marilyn Manson to run a truck called "Snake Eyes and Sissies" so might as well kill the idea now while it's unconscious.

Background:
Blacksmith was Pablo Huffaker's first truck that he owned himself.
He debuted it in 2001 and was invited to the World Finals 2.
During his race against Blue Thunder, he flipped into the protectors and could not advance, nor participate in Freestyle. He freestyled in Ragin' Steel in an unscored run.
He debuted a new paint in 2002, with the current Blacksmith logo on the side, without sparks.
In 2002, the Maximum Destruction game featured Blacksmith with an unused body design.
Blacksmith repeatedly made it to every World Finals but did not take home a win.
In 2004, Pablo debuted the famous spark paint that ran until the truck's retirement in 2007.
Blacksmith ran the 2007 season with Aaron Basl behind the wheel.
Blacksmith was retired after that season, but the chassis and body still ran as Captain's Curse.
Captain's Curse was introduced in 2007 at the World Finals 8, and took home the Freestyle World Championship.
A similar crash to the one in World Finals 2 happened in World Finals 10, when Captain's Curse flipped into the stands in his race against Maximum Destruction. It was censored on Speed, but was leaked on YouTube shortly after. The censorship was due to controversy over a monster truck accident that injured 4 people. In this accident, no one was injured, but the truck landed only 10 feet from a camera operator.
Download the updated version for me pls. This thing is trash. The link will be approved soon.
Place in the V4 pack for it to work.

Background:
Hot Wheels debuted in 2002 at the World Finals 3, and made it to racing Round 2, driven by Eldon DePew.
Hot Wheels would've made it farther in the race, but crashed at the apex of the turn and lost to Blacksmith.
Hot Wheels ran the same general paint until 2005, debuting it's second most popular look, first being Team Hot Wheels Firestorm, debuting in 2013.
This is the only Hot Wheels not to be made on Sim Monsters. This was a request, but also fills my own desires, as this completes my Hot Wheels truck collection.
Place in your V4 pack for the truck to work.
