Vegas Style

Vegas style is one of the toughest formats for racing. The format is only used by Monster Jam, and it is only used for the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas (hence the name). This format also allows drivers to hit speeds of +60 mph, making it one of the fastest formats. The format has been used since 2000 and is similar to St. Louis Style.

2000-
Vegas style was introduced in 2000 at the first ever Monster Jam World Finals. In Vegas style, both trucks stage behind the stadium. When the light turns green, both trucks race down a chicane, called 'Thunder Alley.' This is one of the most dangerous sections of the track, as a tight turn and fast speeds are critical. Many violent wrecks have occurred in Thunder Alley. After that, both trucks race down a straightaway, where they hit speeds of +60 mph. At the end of the track, both trucks take a turn and hit a ramp. The first to cross the line wins. Many violent wrecks have also occurred after the race, as some trucks will land out of control and hit another jump.
