MENIFEE, CA – With the start of the New Year also starts the new Monster Jam series. On January 12th we completed all of the prep work for our first two trucks for the Monster Jam season. We started out on January 14th with an interview for the Fox 11 News segment for the Wednesday’s Child adoption program. Next up was our first out of three events in Anaheim California. For our second driver Jeff Jones, this was his first stadium performance. Jeff didn’t have a chance to get nervous watching the other drivers first, as he picked the number one spot to qualify. Ricks qualifying time lead to the perfect match putting Jeff and Rick up against each other in racing their first rounds. This was a really exciting moment for all of us at Obsession Racing to see both Obsession and Obsessed on the starting line at a sold out event. After the racing Jeff was second to go out for freestyle in Obsession and started of strong and made a fantastic save which ended up popping a tire and ending his freestyle run early. Rick came out ninth in the field of 16 trucks with a hard charging crowd pleasing run that tied him forth in freestyle.
The following weekend event was held in San Diego California. The weekend started out with The San Diego Union Tribune news paper article featuring Obsession Racing. On Friday Obsessed did a display for a Ford Dealership in San Diego. Saturday night we only had Obsessed running for this event. Rick in Obsessed was again in the top half of the qualifying runs. In freestyle once again he drove with a fast pace and did some radical donuts that brought the crowd to their feet. Rick filled his time in freestyle and at the end of the bonus time. Then Rick decided to hit the big jump one more time which proved to be one too many times with the truck ending up with a broken spindle. It was nice to see that the safety equipment did its job as the wheel tether held the tire to the truck.
We have to give a special thanks to our sponsors and all of those who donated their time and their skills so we can please our fans and make our business what it is today.
