MENIFEE, CA – We had a very successful Northwest tour. In six racing events we had three semi final nights and three final round victories in three different cities and two different states. This tour started in Monroe Washington over Memorial weekend. Saturday night was Obsession’s night to shine with Rick taking the final round victory. On Sunday Rick made it to the semi finals racing against King Krunch, who is always a tough competitor. In the last six events in Monroe Washington Rick has won four of them and went to the semi finals in the other two.
From Monroe Rick headed to Spokane Washington where the Obsession truck has not raced in over ten years. This was also a Friday and Saturday night show. Spokane was a very tight course. You started by jumping five cars into a tight u turn which gave you 250 feet into another u turn. Then you went back over the cars into the finish line. With this tight course and rain on and off through out the weekend it made every round a little more challenging. Rick rose to the occasion by taking the final win on both Friday and Saturday night. Before we left Spokane our son Eric stayed with Rick and I flew home to tend to my Mother who fell and broke her hip. Eric enjoyed traveling with Dad, King Krunch and Natural High’s racing teams to the next event in Missoula Montana. During the week in between they still ended up competing against each other at a go kart track in Spokane. Eric was thrilled with being able to compete against the big boys and took the win in the go kart competition.
In Missoula Montana it was another two night event. Obsession went to the semi finals both nights. It was a very unique track and weather played a big part in racing on both nights. On Saturday night Rick probably did one of his best freestyles of the year.
It was nice to be back and home and we are looking forward to having the next three events close to home.
