I've been a fan of monster trucks since I was about a year old. According to my parents, I saw "There Goes a Monster Truck" in about 1996, and I've been watching monster trucks ever since. My parents got me MTM2 in '98 or '99, but I didn't discover VALES and MTM2-dot-com until about 2004 or so. After playing it for years upon years, I decided to play MTM2 online in 2008 or 2009. I was in ARL and another league. I think it was USMJS, but I'm not sure. I only won a single race against Bert, if anybody remembers him, and I quit after a few events.
I kept playing MTM2 until I saw the Box5 stuff showcased on Monster Mayhem and Draggers when that came out. I've been playing ROR ever since. I drove Arachnophobia in RORMJ, where my only real highlight is averaging a rollover per event, including one crazy-ass barrel roll down the track at Houston. (I was a lightyear behind the other dude, so I just rolled on purpose after the finish just to entertain myself.) I failed to win in three events, so I decided to just sort of lurk and see where the community went. I joined Sim-Monsters when it was brand new with another account that I've posted with, but I've lost the login info for. After that, I've really just lurked, but I plan to stop being a deadweight and make content soon.
Wow, it really just hit me now that I've been a part of the MTM2 and ROR communities for a total of 10 years or more now...
