My apologies for today's downtime but due to circumstances beyond my control - a comedy of errors at the hosting facility - there was nothing for it but to wait out the storm. But with a bit of luck that is all behind us, so now we can resume the business at hand - MTM!. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

In older news, mtm2online.com is now back, er, um, online ;-)

Wow, two outages in two weeks. I'll be glad when this month is over.

I've just gotten word that the "403 Forbidden" messages you may be getting from mtm2online.com and mtm2tournaments.com are the result of unscheduled problems on the server. News is that the hosting company is working to get all sites on the server back up and running as soon as possible, but delays have been caused by unexpected power trouble and a large numbers of server that are in need of similar attention. Not to worry, everything will be restored back to normal in due course. ShadowPricess apologizes for any inconvenience.

From August 24th until September 30th, bigfoot4x4.com accepted design submissions for their new Bad Boys of Racing II slated for 2010. On October 16th they announced the winning design was created by our very own Cale Putnam. The contest carries several prizes, but the crowning jewel is that the new Bigfoot Monster will carry Cale's paint job!

To see a selection of some of the other submissions, please check out monstermayhem.org where you'll find some fine work, including some by other MTMers such as jetmonkeyj, RockStarCycle, Jordan Robson, RKM, Crazyman9, ChromeThunder, FlyinBryan, RyanRoberts, JasonMiller, JFR_Fan, Team Tweaked. Needless to say, the gang over at BigFoot had their work cut out for them selecting from those entries.

Thank you Bigfoot for years of great monster trucking. And congratulations Cale on a great design.
