Major League of Monster Trucks
The Major League of Monster Trucks was an organization which promoted and sanctioned 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 placed a distinct emphasis on racing and hoped 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 concentrated largely on competitive Motorsport action and racing whereas its 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.
