MENIFEE, CA – This weekend was a real challenge for Obsessing Racing not having our hauler. It was in the shop having a motor overhaul. Thanks to the team at Young Transport we were able to make our show in Albuquerque, NM last weekend. They hauled our trailer to the show and back for us. The show was a Monster Jam event consisting of eight trucks. It was three shows in a row; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Friday night the Fabtech Obsession took fourth place in the wheelie competition and made it to the semi finals in racing. For freestyle the Fabtech Obsession took forth place.
Saturday night the Fabtech Obsession won the sky wheelie competition. This gave Rick great accomplishment knowing the trucks that he was up against. Unfortunately in the racing category we didn’t place as high as we would have like to. For freestyle we once took forth place.
Sunday afternoon the Fabtech Obsession took second place in the wheelie competition. We brook a sway bar during the competition. Even having a broken sway bar in the first round of racing we won. Rick couldn’t push the truck any further for racing with a broken truck. He managed to do freestyle but it was a first to do this with a broken sway bar. Rick said it was really hard to manage but his still placed fifth in doing so.
After the show Rod Wood with the McGruff Monster Truck was generous enough to give Rick a ride back to Tucson where the hauler was being repaired. Rick then drove back to the shop in our truck with its overhauled motor so he would be ready for his next event.
