Achievements
GuitarBill created Traxx, a program that created Monster Truck Madness add-on tracks. The program replaced TRI's in house track creator TrackEd as it was much more user friendly.

Bill was respected by the entire Monster Truck Madness community. He was also a game programmer and independent developer.

Death
In mid-December 2004, GuitarBill committed suicide after a long battle with depression.
