MENIFEE, CA – At the end of February Obsession Racing attended the Monster Jam event in Oakland California. This was a family oriented event for us. While Rick was driving the Monster truck, in between rounds Eric was racing his trophy kart. This gave Rick great pleasure to watch Eric bang fenders and run with the modified trophy karts and being able to stay with the pack with only a stock motor. We can hardly wait to see him perform in the big monster truck with his no fear attitude (but our pocket books can). Rick put on an incredible freestyle placing 3rd. The freestyle run was a fast pace run that included, donuts, slap wheelie, big air, and even a two wheel bicycle save! Eric proved himself ready for the big leagues. He de-tired the truck all by himself and would not let me help so he could make Dad proud. Rick was very happy to have the truck ready to go after he finished a long night of autographs.
Our next stop was Fresno California for another Monster Jam event. Rick made it to the semi finals on a close call loosing to Grave Digger in racing. We attached the pictures so you could be the judge. Fresno had one of the hardest line ups of trucks for its size. What we mean by that is when you have a small field of trucks (6) that are all very fast trucks you never get an easy round. This included Grave Digger, Bounty Hunter, Iron Outlaw, TMNT, and Shocker. Rick took a forth place in freestyle which isn’t a bad score considering he was first out which makes it hard get a high score.
This weekend we will be in Las Vegas Nevada displaying the brand new Obsessed Monster truck. We are looking forward to seeing you there and to come meet the new driver Eric Swanson.
