Racing starts on top the racing lanes. 

@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. 

 

@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

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

Thank you to @Double.D ッfor painting this truck.

Not an open custom. 

A few models came from Sketchfab, CGTrader and Turbosquid.

Enjoy!

Monster Jam.
 
Thank you to the people that sent me the graphics for the ribbon board and video board. 

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

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).

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!

Another track. 
San Antonio 2011, you know the drill. 3 hits on the racing lanes. 
 

Another track. 
This is jersey style, the monster jam one. You start on the turning obstacles. 
Big ups to my guys over at the sketchup warehouse. 
Good. 

This is not an open custom, this is my big truck. 
This is obviously on the NAMT settings.
Go into the graphics settings and check the "Render Video Cameras" box to get the backup camera to work. It's very helpful for those Dan Evans moves. 
 
That is all. 

First week of NAMT, woo.

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.

THIS TRACK WAS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN ME AND @Edy, WITHOUT HIM, THIS TRACK AND STADIUM WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. 

After a week of sending a blend file back and forth, Edy and I have finally finished our version of Ford Field. To christen the new model, we decided to recreate a classic show, Detroit 2009. 
Let is be known that this was truly a collaboration, both Edy and I have numerous hours of work in every part of this track, from the stadium to the obstacles. 

I hope you all enjoy this track that @Edy and I worked really hard on. 

Here is a more detailed list of contributions for this track:

Stadium Construction: @AaronLurie and @Edy
Stadium Textures: @AaronLurie, @Edy, @JackMProductions, @RockCrwlr, @DannyMackey, @Chris B, @maxdman

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

This is definitely a track. Surely one of them. 
I spent too long on this.

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!
