- Major League of Monster Trucks
-
The Major League of Monster Trucks is an organization which promotes and sanctions monster truck events in the United States. It produced events at venues on the west coast and at various Speedway Motorsports owned tracks. While still featuring freestyle, the organization is placing a distinct emphasis on racing and hopes to hold an open qualifying based points series, versus the current invite-only structure that is used in Monster Jam.
The racing layouts are very similar to Crossover races that are run overseas in Europe. More specifically, the MLMT tracks are comparable to the layouts seen at the annual Race of Champions festival, but adapted for off road racing.
MLMT concentrates largely on competitive Motorsport action and racing whereas it's more popular competitor, Monster Jam, largely concentrates on a more Sports Entertainment style of Monster Truck competition with less racing and more entertaining competitions.
The live events were hosted by Chuck Plumlee and Chad Nicholson.
The series however went bankrupt and closed its doors. Their last show was held in 2009 in Red Bluff, CA.
