MENIFEE, CA – February started out in San Diego California for Monster Jam on the Saturday the 3^rd.  Obsessed is solely running for Monster Jam this year as Rick has back issues and needed time to heal. Eric put on a fantastic show for freestyle and made it into the bonus category!  The following Saturday Eric did another show for Monster Jam in Anaheim California.  Eric was one the few who caught some of the biggest air of the night and made it to the second round of racing.  Staying in California the Obsession Racing team had their next event in Oakland.  This event was held on Saturday and Sunday.  Saturday night Eric won El Torro Loco in his round of racing! El Torro bucked into Eric during the race like a mad bull!  In freestyle Eric had massive air which ended with a bent four link bar that ended his run.  On Sunday Eric’s truck broke an input shaft in his transmission and was unable to run the full length of the show.  For the last weekend in February Eric had another Monster Jam show in Nampa Idaho.  This event was one show on Friday night and two events on Saturday.  This was a great weekend for Eric! He dominated in racing in all three shows winning Max D & Grave Digger along the way and Saturday he was the event winner for that show.

For Obsession Racing’s first event in March was another Monster Jam show in Reno Nevada. The events were held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  On Friday and Saturday night Eric put on another phenomenal show.  He was making record breaking time in racing on Saturday night and doing awesome in freestyle!  He had a fuel issue and the Obsessed truck was unable to run on Sunday.

On the 25^th of March Eric’s truck was filmed for the show America’s Got Talent.  This show will be aired on Tuesday May 26^th  on NBC.  It was a pleasure meeting all the judges.  Simon took a liking to Eric and they had a nice time visiting.  We are excited to see it air!

Obsession Racing’s final event in March was for Toughest Monster Truck Tour.  This was Rick’s first show back in his truck since January.  This show was held on Friday and Saturday.  Rick took the racing win on Friday night and made it to the semifinals on Saturday.  Eric put on a great freestyle on Friday and took the overall win on Saturday!

MENIFEE, CA – 2018 Started off with a new truck for Obsessed. Eric’s year old truck graduated to his Father Rick. Now that both trucks are identical it makes it easier on the team because now we don’t have to supply two trucks with different parts. Obsession Racings first event was in Salem Oregon for Traxxas Monster Truck Tour. Both Obsession and Obsessed were booked for this show. They performed for two events on Saturday afternoon and evening. The event consisted of a wheelie competition, racing and freestyle. On Saturday afternoon Rick won racing and Eric won the wheelie competition and freestyle. At the Saturday evening show Rick won the wheelie competition and Eric won racing and freestyle. Obsession Racing did a phenomenal job and had a lot of fun doing it!

January 19th and 20th Obsession Racing did a show in Bakersfield California again for the Traxxas Monster Truck Tour. Obsession Racing had another great weekend! Rick in Obsession took all three wins for the wheelie competition, racing and freestyle on Friday night! Dad has still got it!! On Saturday Eric won the wheelie competition and freestyle and Rick won racing.

February will be another busy month. Both Eric and Rick are really enjoying their new rides and how they handle!! Obsession Racing is off to a great start and is looking forward to a successful 2018!

MENIFEE, CA – Our first show in August was for Allstar Monsters in Grass Valley
California at the Nevada County Fair. This was a two day event with racing and freestyle on

In September Obsession Racing went to Oregon for the Sublimity Harvest Festival. This event is
full of displays leading up to the event. Every monster truck there is sponsored by a local
business’s to put on the event. Eric started out with a win for freestyle on Friday and placed
second on Saturday. On Sunday Eric was in the points lead for the overall win but was
unfortunately cut short when he blew both tires from landing from one of his big air jumps. Rick
did great in Obsession tying for the win on Sunday!

The following Friday, September 15th Rick and our nephew Bo headed to Tulare from Oregon.
Eric flew to Kansas to be with his girlfriend for their one year anniversary. Tulare was a one
night show with just the Obsession Truck performing. Rick made it to the semifinals and placed
3 rd in freestyle.

A lot of our sponsors will be attending the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Unfortunately we are not
able to attend this year but we want to wish them all the best at the show.
