MENIFEE, CA- On September 22nd we received a call from the production company that is producing the new Bud Light commercial. They wanted to use one of our monster trucks. They wanted to create a blue monster truck that blasts through a fence to deliver the new Bud Light spokes person “Dave”. This turned into being a very interesting commercial for all of the engineering that had to be done to the truck for how they wanted to present the commercial. We filmed it at Universal Studios at the house that they used in the movie Hancock. We hoping to see it air some time later this year. So when you see the Bud Light commercial that is the original Obsession truck.
The first weekend in October we had three major events happen for Obsession Racing. First was our son Eric turning 14 years old and the second thing was that it was the first time Obsession Racing had both Obsession and Obsessed competing at the same event. Thirdly it was the first time for our second driver Jeff Jones to race side by side. One of Eric’s Birthday presents was that he got to race Randy Smallwood Jr.’s tough truck. He had a fun time driving and we want to give him special thanks for giving Eric that opportunity and the track officials that allowed it. Eric also got to have some fun in his trophy cart in front of the fans.
The weekend started off as normal the rookie driver “Jeff” would end up facing Grave Digger all weekend long in racing. Watching his video on Saturday night the call could have went either way. We were very proud of Jeff’s driving ability. Rick drove Obsessed even though it has the smaller motor Ricks driving abilities would take it to the semi finals each time against Maximum Destruction. That’s when Toms horsepower over ruled. Both trucks performed extremely well in freestyle. Jeff was the second truck out in freestyle and did an awesome job! On Sunday freestyle he caught the biggest air of the day! (It’s got to be the truck) I think the jump was a big surprise to Jeff, but we couldn’t be prouder to have him on our team!
Our next event is October 16th and 17th at the Southern California Fair in Perris, California. This will be three shows, one on Friday and two on Saturday. Eric will be debuting in his truck Obsessed for freestyle! Don’t miss it!
