MENIFEE, CA- 2013 started out for Obsession Racing in Tacoma Washington for Monster Jam. Rick and Tom Lehnertz made the long haul up to Tacoma. Rick hasn’t been there for at least six years. With only having one truck booked for this show, Rick decided to take his monster truck Obsession. This weekend had four shows: one on Friday night, two on Saturday and one on Sunday afternoon. This being the first show of the year some of the modifications we did during our downtime had some glitches. This was very frustrating for Rick but by the time they worked out all of the kinks, Rick did very well in racing on Sunday and had a fantastic show! We want to give a huge thanks to Tom and Dallas for all their help. Rick couldn’t have done it without them!
The following weekend we were back in our home town in Anaheim California for Monster Jam with both truck performing. Rick drove Obsessed and Jimmy Lehnertz drove Obsession. It was a very cold and wintery night. Rick must have brought this weather back with from Washington? This event was a Saturday night show only. Rick and Jimmy did a good job in racing. The trucks ran great all night and they both had solid freestyle runs.
Upon leaving Anaheim Rick, Eric and Jimmy’s Dad Tom drove straight to Lancaster for a commercial shoot. They had to mount a new body, wash the trucks and tires, and get everything prepared for Sunday night’s photo shoot. Let me remind you it got down to 10 degrees! This photo shoot started at 5:30pm Sunday night and did not end until 6:00am Monday morning. Needless to say they were frozen and tired! But it will all be worth it when it airs in the next upcoming months on Nation Wide Television.
