MENIFEE, CA – As 2009 draws to an end we were able to get one more event and one more display in before the trucks get torn down for maintenance and prep for the New Year. Our last event for 2009 was in Redmond Oregon for WHR Motorsports. This was the first time WHR Motorsports has been in Redmond with Monster Trucks. Redmond was a success for both WHR Motorsports and Obsession Racing. Rick did a great job of piloting his truck to the finals. It was a great field of trucks and drivers. Daron drove Bounty Hunter, Joe in Iron Outlaw, Gary Jr. in Jurassic Attack, and Don in Manic. Everyone did a really great job and the fans kept commenting on how much better it was then the last show that they had seen. On the way to Oregon Rick and Jeff met up with Daron and Joe in Northern California to travel together since the weather conditions were tough. Three hours after they met they were parked on the side of the road due to an accident that closed the road for 3 and a half hours. This is where the four of them got to hang out and heat up some grub and listen to all of the other drivers over the cb with their brilliant idea of having the monster truck guys pull out their monsters and drive across the snow. They did make it their safe and sound but was happy to see the California sunshine when they returned to home.
Our last display of the year was for a 5 year old boy named Brock’s Birthday Party. His Mother and Rick had been planning his party for a couple of months. The whole party was a Monster truck theme, but what the Birthday Boy didn’t know was that he was getting a special appearance from both Rick and Eric with the Obsessed Monster truck. Rick and Eric and Jeff’s son Bailey (how Jeff got out of it we’ll never know) tired up the truck at the neighbors place and Eric drove the truck down to the party and the Birthday Boy had a surprise of his life. He was so thrilled to see a real live Monster truck at his house! It was a great was to end the year!
We are looking forward to 2010 and appreciate all of the help and support of so many people. Obsession Racing wishes everyone and blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
