MENIFEE, CA – Our first show in February was held at Petco Park in San Diego for Monster Jam on February 6th. This was a Saturday night only show. This show was a turning point for Eric’s career. He won the freestyle competition! This is rarely heard of as a privateer especially the caliber of the competition that he was up against! We are all so very proud of Eric! Also it was great that the truck drove off without any damage! The trophy is proudly placed on our mantle for all of our guests to see!

The next thing that we had booked in February was for the cable television commercial for GPS tracking. We had done a commercial for them prior to this one and they wanted a new second commercial in addition to the old one. They also used Eric’s Obsessed since his was the one that they used the first time. We were very grateful he didn’t have any damage from San Diego since this commercial was booked after the Monster Jam show on February 6th.

Finishing off February, on the 20th Rick and Eric headed to Oakland California for another Monster Jam Show. Rick unfortunately was unable to participate in racing as he broke a driveshaft in qualifying. Rick had help from Jimmy Lehnertz and was able to get the truck back together for freestyle. Rick in Obsession had a great run and enjoyed every minute of it! Eric once again did an awesome job in freestyle with some incredible saves and of course flying high on every jump!! Definitely a crowd pleaser!!

“It’s an honor to be invited back to Monster Jam World Finals to compete in the Young Guns Shootout competition with the up and coming stars of Monster Jam. I can’t wait to show the Monster Jam fans what the Obsessed Monster Jam truck can do!” – Obsessed driver Eric Swanson

MENIFEE, CA – Our first show of 2016 started off in Anaheim California for Monster Jam. We are privileged to do the West Coast stadium series for Monster Jam this year. Rick’s Obsession truck debuted its new 20th anniversary body. This design has some of the highlights of Obsession’s career. It is amazing how many fans and friends we have made over 20 years.

Obsession is like Eric’s twin they came into the world 20 years ago. Eric did a great job at this show placing in the top 5 category for freestyle out of 16 trucks. His main goal for this year is to win in freestyle and this is a great start for him to achieve his goals.

Obsession Racing’s second event was also in California at Petco Park in San Diego for Monster Jam. This show started earlier in the week as on Thursday Obsession and Obsessed went on display at the local Ford Dealership. Then early Friday morning Rick and Eric did media for the local news to promote the show. Saturday night at the show Rick’s night was cut short in qualifying because the pin broke in the mag. In this stadium you pit on the floor and you are not able to work on the trucks because you can’t be on the floor while trucks are running. Eric did another spectacular freestyle placing once again in the top 5 category of freestyle competing with some of the icons in the monster truck industry.

The following weekend Rick and Eric headed to Phoenix Arizona for another Monster Jam show. Both trucks put on a great performance for the Phoenix University fans. It has been a privilege running with some of the legends in the monster truck industry. They have all seen Eric grow up into the man he is today and it is wonderful to hear them complement his driving skills as we all feel like one big family.
