MENIFEE, CA – Obsession Racing has been extremely busy the past couple of months. This spring season started out in Fresno California for Monster Jam. This was a single truck event with Rick piloting Eric’s truck Obsessed. Rick had a great time as usual being with his dedicated fans and coworkers. At Fridays show Rick won his first round of racing but unfortunately the ring & pinion broke and this ended his night of racing. On Saturday night during his wheelie completion he broke a spindle but he got it back up and running and put on a great freestyle show. On Sunday morning Rick fell and severely bruised his ribs and kidneys. We were fortunate enough that Jimmy Lehnertz was available and willing to drive for Rick on Sunday. This was Jimmy’s first time driving Obsessed and his accustomed to it very well and did a great job of racing and freestyle. We want to give a big thanks to Jimmy, Tom, and Michael Lehnertz for everything they did to help out Obsession Racing in troubled times.
Mothers Day weekend was once again spent at the track for Outlaw Monster Truck Events in San Bernardino California. Both Rick and Eric did this event. It was a four truck show that included our two and the 2 Extreme Monster Trucks. This was a freestyle show only. Out of three competitions of freestyle, Rick and Eric each won a round and Bounty won one round. This was a nice Mothers Day gift to me in seeing how well our son handles and performs professionally in his Monster Truck. It was a nice weekend in all.
Our next event was held in Salinas California for Monster Jam. They start off with displaying the trucks on Wednesday through Saturday and the freestyle and racing show is on Sunday. On Sunday it just wasn’t Rick’s day for racing but he made up for it in freestyle. He set the bar higher than the first five trucks that competed and made the following truck work for their points! Rick did great even though he was still feeling sore from his injury a month before.
Our next event Obsession Racing is headed to Mexico for Monster Truck Show Down. We will be leaving California for the rest of this spring season.
