MENIFEE, CA – Obsession Racing had it first opportunity to experience racing on cement for the Thunder National Event. This was not only Rick’s first experience driving on cement; it was his first time driving another Monster Truck. Thursday afternoon Rick received a phone call from Live Nation Motorsports asking if he would be able to drive one of their Monster Trucks for their Tucson Arizona show. Rick was honored that they asked him to drive their truck Bulldozer. Even though it is a Patrick built truck it was set up totally different than the Fabtech Obsession.
Friday night gave him some practice time and this leads him to the semi finals. Saturday he felt more comfortable in the truck and placed second in the donut contest with a score of 10, 10, 9. On Sunday Rick placed third in the sky wheelie competition.
This was our fist time working with Chad Tingler. He is the Grave Digger driver and was teamed up with the Bulldozer truck that Rick drove. He was great help to him and made him feel comfortable in Bulldozer. Cole is the pit crew for both trucks. He was on top of everything and was there to help whenever they needed him. For his first time racing another truck it was a great experience. He and was proud to know they had the confidence put him on Live Nation’s team.
This weekend the Fabtech Obsession will head to Fresno California for the Live NationMonster Jam.
