MENIFEE, CA – We wish a Happy New Year to all of our Monster Truck fans, sponsors and racing teams. We would like to start this year off thanking our new sponsors for coming on board. Line-X Spray on bed liners, Granatelli Motors ports, American Off Road and Norman Vineyards has joined the Obsession Racing team along with the continuing sponsorship of AmeriGas Propane and Netvolution.com.

The New Year has brought a new look for Obsession Racing. Hot Wheels designed an awesome new paint scheme that everybody that has seen it compliments it. Hot wheels did do the design work in order to have an original Obsession die cast that they are targeting to have in the store by spring. Our son Eric can also been seen racing his new trophy kart at the monster truck events. It looks just like Dads only on a smaller scale. This will give him the racing advantage until he is old enough to race the full size Monster Truck we are having built for him.

We will be racing in Phoenix Arizona on January 26th for a Monster Jam event. It will be taped to be televised on the Speed Channel. This way everyone Nation wide can see Obsession’s new look. Stay tuned to Obsession Racing’s web page for future press releases and event dates.

MENIFEE, CA – Obsession Racing teamed up with Frank Schettini to celebrate AmeriGas Propane Gardena’s plant year end bonus party. Both trucks have an ongoing sponsorship and the trucks did a special car crush in celebration for the Gardena plant exceeding corporate goals. The afternoon started off with a giant barbeque with all of the employees. Over fifty three thousand dollars was divided up amongst the employees for their bonuses. After everyone received their bonuses and special speeches were made Rick and Frank put on an exciting show for all AmeriGas employee to enjoy. Everyone was pleased with their performances and I am sure it will be talked about for years to come. We are glad to be a part of AmeriGas’s team and enjoyed every ones company.

MENIFEE, CA – Last weekend Obsession Racing was in Albuquerque New Mexico for their last Monster Jam event for the year 2007. Going in with high hopes Rick was determined to do his best. Friday night started out with a wheelie competition that did not go as well as planned. After getting the truck back to the pits he discovered that the pinion support bearing in the rear differential was going out. This meant that Rick had to be smooth with the throttle and make perfect corners.

Rick did everything he could in racing and proved it by making it to the final rounds both nights. The final round would put the Fabtech Obsession up against Pablo in Grave Digger both nights. Rick was very satisfied when he took a hurt Fabtech Obsession neck and neck against Graver Digger. Unfortunately Grave Digger was called the winner. In the freestyle portion of the show was where you could really tell that the truck wasn’t up to par. It didn’t stop the crowd from cheering but it only placed us in the middle of the bracket. We have two displays left to do this year and then December 1st we will be tearing down the truck to get it ready for a 2008 winning new year!
