Alright.

So I took up the extreme challenge of recreating World Finals 16.
A few things to note so that we don't fill up the reviews with complaints.

Yes, I know that the track isn't 100% accurate. I made some mistakes, but it's correct for the most part.
Yes, I know that racing has a bunch of shading errors. I've spent over 4 hours between yesterday and today redoing the racing track and there are still errors.
But hey, the track functions and we can finally have a new World Finals to play on that isn't World Finals 13.

Copy paste is fun.

Anyway, since this track is alpha splatted, same rules apply for an fps version as they did for Arlington.

So, if you experience low FPS on this track, go into the WF16Racing.material and WF16Freestyle.material file, search for WF16Racing.png and WF16Freestyle.png and in that section of the material file:

{
receive_shadows on
technique
{
// base pass
pass
{
lighting off
texture_unit
{
// we use the metal plates texture as the base, other textures are blended over it
texture 2014MinnyDirt.png
scale 0.03 0.09
}
}
// leaks pass
pass
{
lighting off
// blend with former pass
scene_blend alpha_blend
// only overwrite fragments with the same depth
depth_func equal
// alpha map for the leaks
texture_unit
{
texture Arlington2015Floor.png
// use alpha from this texture
alpha_op_ex source1 src_texture src_texture
// and colour from last pass
colour_op_ex source2 src_texture src_texture
}
// detail texture
texture_unit
{
texture leak.png
// the scale is set to 1:1 because we don't want this texture to be tiled
scale 1 1
// alpha blend colour with colour from last pass
colour_op_ex blend_diffuse_alpha src_texture src_current
}
}
// lighting pass
pass
{
ambient 1 1 1
diffuse 1.05 1.05 1.05
depth_func equal
scene_blend zero src_colour
}
}
}

Raise only the red bolded numbers but be sure to always keep the ratio the same (A 6 number gap between the numbers)
This will work for anywhere in the material file that you see WF16Racing.png or WF16Freestyle.png.

Because there are so many parts to this track, I'm going to name off some people who contributed any part to the track.

Klayton Haylog
Tharindu Don
Danny Mackey
Aaron Lurie
Devin Doss
Julio Vellon Jr
Mason Watts

Sorry if I forgot anyone. Let me know if I forgot you and I'll add you in the reviews.

Well, there you go. World Finals 16 is the first released World Finals in almost 3 years.
So enjoy it!

This is definitely a track. Surely one of them. 
I spent too long on this.
 
This track is only guaranteed to work on Rigs of Rods 0.4.8

A few things to note:
Shadows
This track has working shadows on the meshes, which you can take advantage of by enabling "PSSM" in your settings in version 0.4.8. 

Races
There are working timed races on the racing version that work in ROR 0.4.8.
If you cross the start line before the race, simply reset your truck to cancel the current race.
 
Yeah, that should be everything.
I appreciate everyone that has helped get this project to the level that it's at. 

Have fun!

So enjoy it!

On September 10, 2010, Sim-Monsters.com was born.  Over the past decade, this website has played host to some of the largest events in virtual monster trucks.  From the early days of All-Monsters Eve and Fall Madness, to leagues like MROR, SSRS, KOTH, and SMRA, to modern leagues like NAMT, TLG, GZT, and ROR-MTP, this community has been rich with competition and The Monster Blog Truck Fest is no different!  For the first time since 2014, The Monster Blog Truck Fest will host one of the largest events in the history of Sim-Monsters.
This event will feature a two day, two stage racing competition that will test the skill of every driver and a freestyle competition that will push the limits of every truck on the track.  On Night One of racing, for the first time ever, a Round Robin bracket will used to narrow the field to 24 drivers for Night Two.  Night Two will be a showdown of the 24 best from Night One, competing in a single elimination racing bracket and freestyle competition to crown the champions of The Monster Blog Truck Fest.
We would like to thank @TheMonsterBlog for sponsoring this event.  Way back in 2014, we hosted the first TMB Truck Fest and The Monster Blog was there to give us a big name to support the event and they are back again to give this event the promotion it deserves.  Be sure to check out The Monster Blog on their website (http://themonsterblog.us/) and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/themonsterblog).

Day 2 Track X:
There is a full quality version of the track and an FPS version.
PLEASE NOTE, THE FPS VERSION OF THIS TRACK LOOKS INTENTIONALLY TERRIBLE AND LACKS MANY FEATURES OF THE FULL VERSION, BUT THERE SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT 

Thank you to everyone who helped along the way with this track. This would not have been possible without everyone that either made something or helped test the track and make sure it's up to a standard that this event deserves. 
Have fun!

@Edy and I have been working on this for a little bit. They're pretty fun.
DISLCAIMER: THE ORIGINAL MODEL FOR THIS CAME FROM MX VS ATV
@Edy did a lot of the changes to the original model to make it better represent the Monster Jam Speedsters. 
This node beam was built completely from scratch by  @Edy and I, with @DannyMackey providing assistance with the submesh, and @Wambo assisting early on in the project. 
Installation Directions 
Install Speedsters.zip and MJSpeedsterSkins.skinzip to your mods folder or whatever subfolder you install your vehicles to. Make sure to keep the two files separate. 
How to make your own Speedster Skins
-Download SpeedsterTemplate.zip
-Open SpeedsterProps-Template.png in a photo editing software of your choice and create your own skins and part colors using the provided bake and prop colors sheet
-Rename "Template" to the name of your vehicle. 
-Open (VehicleName)Speedster.skin
-Change every instance of (Vehicle Name) to the name of your vehicle. Make sure to remove parenthesis
 -Make sure that the 2nd texture listed under the "replaceTexture" section matches the name of your SpeedsterProps texture
-Create a zip with your SpeedsterProps texture, preview image, and .skin file
-Rename the .zip extension to .skinzip
-Place the .skinzip in your mods folder, of whatever sub folder you install your vehicles to

Another collaboration between @Edyand I. Edy made the stadium model and I made the track. Have fun.

I've had this track sitting for a while and never finished it. The opportunity arose and I had to finish it. The track isn't perfect, but it's pretty decent.

Enjoy!
 

Big thanks to @Edyfor helping big time on the textures for this. His work really helped transform the track.

A couple disclaimers:
-This track will probably suffer on performance for some of your computers. Turn off shadows and lower your settings to improve FPS. If there is a large demand, I may consider adding an FPS version.
-Some of the truck background graphics came from Steel Titans
-Some of the models, such as the lights and speakers came from CGTrader and Turbosquid
 
I hope you all enjoy this track

Could be better. Could be worse. 
This does not and will never work in 0.37. Just stop using it already. 

This track was made possible by:

Many various Sim-Monsters content creators. 
 
Let me know if something doesn't work. I expect that a lot of it just doesn't work like usual. 
 

I am actually releasing another track. Unreal. 

Brand new Metlife Stadium model that I made a very long time ago with a track that I made a very long time ago.

Big shout out to @RockCrwlr for the Path of Destruction wall banners and @maxdman for the stadium lighting structure that I took from his stadium model

Have Fun.

Here it is, Foxboro 2014 from the Path of Destruction Tour. Please note that there is a shading error on top of the dirt hill, I couldn't figure out how to fix it, but it doesn't really matter. Jersey style racing with the inflatables and a fun freestyle course.

You need to be running the latest version of ROR for this track to work
 

THIS TRACK IS 0.37 AND 0.4 COMPATIBLE 
This is a pretty solid track from a while ago, just got to releasing it now. 
Thanks to Zach Nicholas for converting this track to 0.4 for all to use.

The track has some shading errors and doesn't look the greatest, but thanks to some people, it is very much race-able with a realistic and fair race course.
Freestyle is fun to.
Enjoy.

This is one of my best tracks so far. I used Alpha Splatting on this track to make it cooler, and I think it came out pretty good.

Because this is alpha splatting, I can't just resize a texture and make a material file. So, if you experience low FPS on this track, go into the Arlington2015.material and Arlington2015FS.material file, search for CBSdirt.png and in that section of the material file:

{
receive_shadows on
technique
{
// base pass
pass
{
lighting off
texture_unit
{
// we use the metal plates texture as the base, other textures are blended over it
texture CBSdirt.png
scale 0.07 0.13
}
}
// leaks pass
pass
{
lighting off
// blend with former pass
scene_blend alpha_blend
// only overwrite fragments with the same depth
depth_func equal
// alpha map for the leaks
texture_unit
{
texture Arlington2015Floor.png
// use alpha from this texture
alpha_op_ex source1 src_texture src_texture
// and colour from last pass
colour_op_ex source2 src_texture src_texture
}
// detail texture
texture_unit
{
texture leak.png
// the scale is set to 1:1 because we don't want this texture to be tiled
scale 1 1
// alpha blend colour with colour from last pass
colour_op_ex blend_diffuse_alpha src_texture src_current
}
}
// lighting pass
pass
{
ambient 1 1 1
diffuse 1.05 1.05 1.05
depth_func equal
scene_blend zero src_colour
}
}
}

Raise only the red bolded numbers but be sure to always keep the ratio the same (A 6 number gap between the numbers)
This will work for anywhere in the material file that you see CBSdirt.png or CBSdirt2.png.

This pack includes 3 Mud Trucks:

Aaron Lurie's Blue Bandit II
Mason Watts' Flashback
Devin Doss' Vertigo

It was easier to release it in a pack since these 3 truck all used similar parts.
Feel free to use any tires, rims, or other parts from this pack for your own truck!

Thank you to everyone who helped with parts for these trucks!
The owners of these trucks have the right to have first pick at them in any mud truck related events.

Here it is! My first replica truck ever released! This truck is fully hand painted except for the ford logo on the front end. Because this is my first paint, it won't be perfect, but I tried.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this truck look as good as it does!

Enjoy!

@Nick Worthmenput this truck together for me, what a hero.
@Double.D ッ painted this truck for me, what a hero.

I made the body, please don't use this body.
