Hey buddy - sure, I can help ya out. I'll spare you the history of the Nitro Room and simply say that it's now open again, but getting to it is not as easy as it once was.
- First login using this url:

You should see the "Nitro Injection" game room, which is where you want to be.
As for settings, trucks and racing online, nowadays you can find suggested
garage sets for any track on this site. The tracks are divided up by year, however, you can sort them in a variety of ways. Under "Bookmarks" you'll find lists of tracks, which are essentially "favorites" that were compiled by various individuals and teams. For example, here's the
EVO Conversion list - tracks that have been converted to MTM 2 from EVO 4X4. It has garage sets and lap times.
As for trucks, for the most part any will do. Personally, I'd recommend steering clear of Boogey Van and Stinger lol - but that's just me. There are lots of
add-on trucks you can add to the game, however. Simply find one that suites you best.
Lastly, our
team races quite a bit, so if you
really like racing, look us up. We race
lists of tracks (high volume lol), which isn't everyone's cup of tea, but we're pretty serious about the fun we have racing, and find that our method affords us the most variety with a minimum of time wasted trying to figure out what add-on tracks we all have in common.
If you have any problems, let us know and we'll see what we can do to get ya going.
