MENIFEE, CA – In the last two weeks Obsession Racing has done one display and three racing events. The display we did was one of the most interesting and unique displays we have ever done. AmeriGas was having a Managers meeting for their all of their Southern California stores. They wanted to show off their new local office building by having the monster truck on display inside of their conference area. Not only were they impressed by seeing the truck fitting in the building it was also a treat for them to see the new truck OBSESSED on display. All of the managers were very excited to know early next year they will have their second sponsored Hot Wheel to use in their marketing and promotions.

Last weekend we were in Fresno California for three sold out Monster Jam events. It was a very tough field of trucks consisting of King Krunch, El Matador, Bounty Hunter, TMNT, and Grave Digger. Friday night Rick set second fastest qualifying time where he made it all the way to the Finals with an extremely close call with Grave Digger taking the win. On Saturday night Rick was there to back up Friday night’s winning streak. Rick set fastest qualifying time and marched right down the brackets all the way to the final round and won the show! On Sunday Rick was determined to repeat Saturday night but unfortunately in the semi final round against Bounty Hunter he blew a differential landing in no mans land in between the first and second set of cars that forced us to finish the show there.

One of our highlight for the show was that Eric put on a cool freestyle going over the cars in his trophy cart and rode it on two wheels a couple of times which made the fans cheer!

Our next event is in Roseburg Oregon on the weekend of May 1st and 2nd. Our schedule has been updated on our web page with more dates to be added in the future as they become available.

MENIFEE, CA- Two weeks ago we were proud to debut our newest truck Obsessed at the Monster Jam World Finals held in Las Vegas Nevada. This is our Son Eric’s Monster Truck. Eric will be driving his truck in late August for a DVD that will document him as the youngest Monster Truck driver. The hard work and long nights of getting this truck ready for the event in Vegas was definitely worth it because of the response it got with Eric as the driver. It was funny to see people ask him if he was REALLY the driver and owner of this truck. If they didn’t believe him people would ask the adults from Airborne Rangers team to verify his statement was true. They really got a kick out of seeing a 13 year old having the ability to handle his very own Monster. He already acquired his own fans, even if it was his first time doing autographs with his truck.

The new truck design caught a lot of people’s attention including Feld Motor sports and Mattel. The week after the event in Vegas we were contacted by Feld Entertainments Marketing department about the production of the Obsessed Hot Wheel. We are currently hoping for a January 2010 release date. We would like to thank everybody who helped make the Obsessed Monster Truck a success. We would like to give a special thanks to Brian and his crew from 1 day wrap for an awesome design and wrap. Also we would like to thank Jeff Jones and Tom Read from AmeriGas for all of their help with the truck in making sure everything was finished in time for the début. We really appreciated Jeff sticking it out with us all night long making sure we had help with whatever we needed.

MENIFEE, CA – At the end of February Obsession Racing attended the Monster Jam event in Oakland California. This was a family oriented event for us. While Rick was driving the Monster truck, in between rounds Eric was racing his trophy kart. This gave Rick great pleasure to watch Eric bang fenders and run with the modified trophy karts and being able to stay with the pack with only a stock motor. We can hardly wait to see him perform in the big monster truck with his no fear attitude (but our pocket books can). Rick put on an incredible freestyle placing 3rd. The freestyle run was a fast pace run that included, donuts, slap wheelie, big air, and even a two wheel bicycle save! Eric proved himself ready for the big leagues. He de-tired the truck all by himself and would not let me help so he could make Dad proud. Rick was very happy to have the truck ready to go after he finished a long night of autographs.

Our next stop was Fresno California for another Monster Jam event. Rick made it to the semi finals on a close call loosing to Grave Digger in racing. We attached the pictures so you could be the judge. Fresno had one of the hardest line ups of trucks for its size. What we mean by that is when you have a small field of trucks (6) that are all very fast trucks you never get an easy round. This included Grave Digger, Bounty Hunter, Iron Outlaw, TMNT, and Shocker. Rick took a forth place in freestyle which isn’t a bad score considering he was first out which makes it hard get a high score.

This weekend we will be in Las Vegas Nevada displaying the brand new Obsessed Monster truck. We are looking forward to seeing you there and to come meet the new driver Eric Swanson.
