Houston Astrodome 2001 Monster Jam: First TNN Stop
By: Matt "Destroyerfan" Ribesky

===========================================================================================

This is a replica of the season opener of the 2001 TNN Monster Jam season at the Houston Astrodome in Houston, Texas. I've wanted to make this track for a while and with Diggerfan making this unbelievable replica of the Astrodome, i thought this would be the perfect time to do it, and i think this will lead to more Astrodome replicas from me, and hopefully others as well.

I think thats it! If there are any mistakes in the credits or i have forgotten anything 
or anyone please let me know so i can upload a fixed version as soon as possible.

There are three pods included: Racing, and freestyle parts 1 and 2. Part two freestyle has the extra cars and the van at the ends of the racing lanes; also the pool is smashable in both freestyle versions (and is also hittable from 8 different angles, so pretty much anyway you want to go at it, its possible). I'm going to be honest; ramp-wise, this is not my best track. That being said, there is really only one place that you will probably get hung up on, and that is on the "teeter totter hills" (thats what i call them anyway lol). I tried to ramp them the best i could but it was really hard to figure the angles at the ends of those hills. You won't always get hung up, but depending on how you hit them it is very possible. Also since there is so many things on this track to dress it up, i had a hard time trying to figure out what would be the best thing to do with all of it in the freestyle tracks. So, i set them all to cones. Everything (with the exception of the hay bales on outside lines of the track) is set to where you can either move it around or knock it over. It makes for a lot of crap laying all over the place and stuff to drive over, but thats really all i could do with it.

Anyway, all that being said, i hope that i haven't turned you away from this track lol. It was really fun to make and i hope you guys enjoy it. Thank you for downloading and have fun!!
