MENIFEE, CA – Obsession Racing started out this summer on July 4th at the San Diego County Fair. This was three days of Freestyle competition including trophy kart racing. This was the debut for the Eric’s Monster Truck Obsessed. The promoter let Eric pull it out for introductions which surprised the fans how he could handle the truck so well for a 13 year old. Eric did his racing in his trophy kart Obsession and did an amazing job winning the second race and then in the third race got t-boned in the corner and rolled four times! This didn’t faze him because when Dad ran over to flip him back over he was yelling “Start me up so I can finish the race!!!” It may have cost him the win but it definitely stole the show! Rick free styled Obsessed for Eric this year at the fair. He won the freestyle competition at Sunday’s show. The truck ran great and we had a lot of positive feed back on the Obsessed body.
On the 23rd of July we showed off the new Obsessed body once again for 1 day Wrap’s display. This was the Valley Young Professionals meeting for the Temecula Chamber of commerce. It was a huge success for everyone who was involved.
The first weekend in August Obsession Racing debuted their new hired gun Jeff Jones to drive Obsession. Rick drove the newly completed truck as King Krunch which is actually the Obsessed frame. Jeff did an outstanding job in Obsession. Rick went out and also did a crowd pleasing job in King Krunch. Only having a month an a half to complete the truck we had some gremlins that needed worked out. This won’t be the only time that we will be running the King Krunch body. There are more events to come in the future with King Krunch. Jeff Jones will also continue helping us out by driving our Obsession until Eric can take over the wheel full time. We couldn’t have made this event without the help of some awesome friends that we have. I want to give a special thanks to Frank Schettini for hauling our truck to the show to making it possible for us to have two trucks at the event. I also want to thank Tom Read and Jeff Jones for the long hours and all the hard work in making this happen. Thank you to Flame Motorsport for helping us with parts to make sure the truck was completed. We are truly blessed!
Our next event will be in Grass Valley California for WGAS motorsports. We hope to see you there!
