MENIFEE, CA – The month of May started out on the forth in San Diego California for another Robbie Gordon Stadium Super Trucks Series. It was a very technical track including both over under jumps. One had a 40’ gap distance and the other was a 60’ gap. In practice Rick and Eric had no difficulties and did a clean run. This track didn’t intimidate Eric as he made it to the finals against the legend Dan Runte in Big Foot. It was an extremely close race but due to safety issues Eric made the right decision and didn’t take the last jump which gave Big Foot the win. Safety is always the first call to make and we are proud that Eric made that decision!
On Friday May 10th Rick received a call from Feld asking him if we could attend their event in Fresno California for their Saturday and Sunday show? We were doing display when he called and we had to switch bodies after the display in the late evening in order to leave for Fresno first thing in the morning. It was a late night, but with the help of our friends Kaya and Michael we were able to make the Fresno show on time. Rick drove Eric’s truck Obsessed because Obsession was apart for maintenance to get ready for the following show. Since we were just filing in for another truck it was only a one truck event for us. Saturday Rick had a really good night driving Obsessed. On Sunday Rick snapped an axle in qualifying and still had the third fastest time and was able to finish the show.
The following weekend we were back down in San Diego for another SST Series. Eric did this event solo in his LAT, Superior Welding #103 truck. Eric made it once again to the semifinals. This was our last event for the Stadium Super Truck Series as they are headed back East. We want to give a big thanks to Darren Migues for transporting Eric’s truck to and from the SST event due to engine difficulties in our tractor. It is currently fixed and running and was ready for our next event!
Ending our May schedule we transformed our E.B. Bradley truck to Wrong Way Rick for a display for WGAS in Del Mar California for their Press Night for the Del Mar Fair in July.
