The begining of my MTM2 racing started on my 13th birthday. I was sitting downstairs talking with my dad about what i wanted for my birthday and i told him there was a game out i wanted for the computer. At the time i had no clue as to what the name of the game was. Me and Dad started talking about it and that very night, one of the gifts i opened was the game. The name of the game was Monster Truck Madness 2. As soon as i saw it i went downstairs (didn't even open the rest of the stuff) and i put the game on the computer. I played on the game the rest of the night. About 3 days later i walked in on my dad installing MTM2 on my grandmothers comp. Just so i could play it around home and his house. I was on the game from 3 o'clock in the afternoon to about 11 o'clock at night. I was having a blast playing MTM2.
Then one day, i found myself getting bored with the game. It was getting very boring racing the same trucks day in and day out on the same tracks and winning so easy. Thats when i started looking for stuff to add to the game. I found a site, i can't really remember much about it but it had some killer trucks on it, including one called the Offspring, the name of a band. The truck was cool and looked awsome so i downloaded it. It took me forever to figure out how to put the thing in the game. Then i found podini and it was a sinch lol. From then on out i've been downloading trucks. Then one day i ran into KC's MTM2 Place. I was lookin around the site and it looked sweet, so i added it to fav's and went on my merry downloading way.
I had registered on KC's and was posting under the name Grave Digger 7. Thats how i found out alot about MTM2. I never knew that a game could be so interesting.
After i started d/ling trucks and tracks i found myself getting bored again. I would download alot of trucks every day, but i was still kickin the comps butt. I did a search on the net to see where i could play this game online.
The Zone is the site where i did most of my running around. My first day there i helped out a guy named BAR_TooSmart by holding a room for him (i think thats what i did, not sure). The next day a guy named BAR_HacmanGZ IMed me and we got to talking and before u know it i was on his team. BAR- Bad Ass Racers/Rumblers. BAR and Me were kicking ass on the zone for a very long time. At one point i think BAR had over 70 members. Maybe 80. I had a bunch of friends on BAR, Hacman and Toosmart were my best friends. Then one day i ran into a guy named Zirn1. Me and him grew up together on the zone. Kickin ass and takin names every night. I even got Zirn on BAR. BAR Was at its strongest point. New Members. New Friends. And i think we were beatin out ZO for the best team on the Zone.
I meet a guy named MadMax while on the zone one day. Never got him on BAR but we were pretty good friends. Raced on all the drag tracks together. Then he started up something i had never thought possible with MTM2. It was called the XMRA- Xtreme Monster Racing Assos. It involed a point system and organized racing and freestyle for points championships. I had done exhibition races like this, but never for points. I raced in the XMRA for about 5 weeks, i won my first 2 freestyles with a 21 and 23 i think. I was leading in the Freestyle points and was having alot of fun in the league. Until max closed it down. Then i started looking for other leagues to belong to. There was ProDRO but i knew i wasn't ready to race in a league like that. That would have been a very hard task to even win a race and get a 20 in freestyle.
Lets skip ahead a bit. To the RMJS days, RMJS- Renagade Monster Jam Series. I started racing in the RMJS with Dan Defalcos Team Grave Digger, i drove Grave Digger #3 in the league. I never really liked the handling on digger 3. I never put up good performances in freestyle with it. So i dropped digger 3 and went on to my own creation. Poison was a truck i loved to drive, METH did an excellent job on the paint. My first run in RMJS with this truck i tied for the freestyle win with a guy named prymetyme, we both got 30's. From then on out it was Team Poison dommination. I didn't win another freestyle event all season, but i was consistent enuff to keep the truck above a 25 average in freestyle. I do have to hand it to the compedators in the league. Matt really kept on me all season in freestyle. In the end i had a championship and finished 4th in racing points. The best i'd ever done in league action.
Skippin ahead again. Eventually Team BAR Shut down. I found myself teamless for a while. Team XFA Was forming up nicely so i decided to join them. METH Had a very nice team going and i have enjoyed every second of being on team XFA. I've won 2 titles while driving for Team XFA. XFA Is by FAR my favorite team of all time.
These days i'm still improving on my racing and really improving on the freestyle. All in all i have 4 Freestyle Championships under my belt. And 1 Overall Points Championship. I have 2 league racing wins and to many freestyle victorys to count. I'm very proud of my accomplishments. I think i have the most ever freestyle championships in freestyle. Its either me or kiel. On a closing note, i'd like to say thanks to every person in MTM2 league racing. Without you guys, there would be no leagues period. I'd also like to say thanks to KC for keepin his site up for so long and dealing with hackers and what not. KC, you da man, lol. And one more thank you goes out before i wrap this up. I'd like to say thank you to my late step father Jim Moss and my grandmother. Jim always belived in whatever i did, even tho he never really paid that much attention to me when i was racing online, i know he's watching down on me and is very proud of me for what i've done here in online racing. And my grandmother who's basically givin me her computer everynight so i can chat with friends and race with the best people i know. Thats pretty much my story. Dig out.
