Randy Moore & Kirk Dabney Team Up to Break Monster Truck Speed Record

September 12, 2011 by 1 Comment

(Bristol, Tennessee – War Wizard Racing PR) – After two unsuccessful attempts at breaking the monster truck speed record since being set at 90.44 MPH in February by veteran Kirk Dabney, Randy Moore and the Aaron’s Outdoors team took a leap of faith and partnered up with the record holding rival.

Kirk Dabney, owner of Maximum Overkill, a well known pioneer in monster truck racing has been in a heated speed record battle with Bigfoot 4x4x4, Inc. since 2009. Previously Randy Moore, driving the popular War Wizard, held the speed record of 84.38 set in 2005.

Previously rivals, Moore and Dabney combined their vast knowledge of Randy’s drag racing experience with Kirk’s advanced technological skills in monster trucks and set out to clinch a speed record for Aaron’s Outdoors.

Randy Moore teamed up with Kirk Dabney to run an Aaron's body on the Extreme Overkill chassis and piloted it to a new speed record of 92 MPH.

Friday evening, September 9th, 2011, Randy Moore took to the strip at Bristol’s Thunder Valley Dragway to topple Dabney’s February speed record of 90.44. After a great launch off the line, Randy piloted the Aaron’s Outdoors monster truck down the quarter mile strip clocking a max speed of 91.88 MPH.

“I have my eyes set on being the first to break 100 MPH in a monster truck. It’s been a dream of mine since the first day my team started building War Wizard #1. We’re determined and will conquer the 100 MPH barrier, it can be done and we’ll get it accomplished. Working with Kirk, Aaron’s Outdoors and my team has been a blast, we’ll continue working together and we will be back to set a record over 100 MPH,” said an enthusiastic Randy Moore during his post run interview.

A future speed record attempt to break the 100 MPH barrier has yet to be set. Once a date is confirmed it will be released on www.warwizardracing.com.

Previous speed records:
• Kirk Dabney (OVERKILL), 90.44 MPH in February 2011
(https://www.bangshift.com/blog/Kirk-Dabney-Sets-Monster-Truck-Speed-Record-at-More-than-90-MPH.html)
• Dan Runte (BIGFOOT), 86.56 MPH in September 2010
(https://themonsterblog.com/2010/09/27/dan-runte-team-bigfoot-reclaim-monster-truck-world-speed-record/)
• Kirk Dabney (OVERKILL), 84.92 in 2009
• Dan Runte (BIGFOOT), 84.49 MPH in 2009
• Randy Moore (WAR WIZARD), 84.382 MPH in August 2005

Obsession Racing 2011 Press Release #8

September 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment

(Menifee, California – Obsession Racing PR – By Jill Swanson) – What a busy month it’s been! It all started out in Santa Rosa, California on August 7th where Eric and Rick did an exhibition run for WGAS Motorsports during their tractor pull show. They each did a minute long freestyle at the beginning of the show and then closed the show with a team father-son freestyle. It was very impressive and it showed in the cheers from the crowd, they really seemed to enjoy seeing two trucks freestyle together. This was a first time seeing this in the town of Santa Rosa. We were very fortunate to be able to stay with Charlie Jarrett. He wide-loaded our trucks to both displays and the show and he also made room to accompany our home on wheels. We really appreciated all of his help!

The following weekend Rick recruited Charlie because of the drive he had to make from Grass Valley to Salinas after Saturday night’s event. They made it to Fischer’s Towing with enough time to jump in a pickup truck and head to the airport to pick up (“Super Star”/fly-in driver) Eric Swanson. That is his privilege since he still is in High School. The show was a Friday and Saturday evening show. Friday night Eric went out for his freestyle and stood the truck straight up and down on top of the van stack! When the truck landed on the ground, the spindle broke and he lost a tire. Thanks to our safety regulations his wheel tether kept the tire from rolling away. With limited time they dove in and fixed Eric’s truck in time for the second round of freestyle. Rick and Eric ended the night with the crowd on their feet in excitement! On Saturday they spent the day getting ready for their drive to Salinas. They had to leave immediately after the show because the gates opened in Salinas at 11:00 a.m. for the Sunday show. The trucks ran great on Saturday night and they were able to pack up and leave on time for Salinas. We want to give a HUGE thanks to Ron and Debbie Fischer, Fischer Towing, James Lester and his Parents for the hospitality and help!

Obsessed catches some big air over the van stack in freestyle.

On Sunday morning Eric and Charlie tired the trucks up after a rough night’s sleep. The guys were all ready to do autographs by noon for the fans of Salinas. This show had racing and freestyle. We thought we were going to see Rick and Eric race each other in the semi finals, but in Eric’s quarter final race, he was ahead but unfortunately spun out in the last turn. Rick made it to the semi finals. All in all we had a good day in racing and for freestyle Eric hit the biggest jumps out there and brought the crowd to their feet. Rick was second to last out and put on another great freestyle for the Salinas Crowd! We wanted to thank Charlie, Tom Tom, Justin, Bob, Elaine, Derrick and the Churchill Family for all of their help, love and support! It is really great to see the promoters using Rick and Eric for interviews during the show to show off our family business!

Another great freestyle effort from Obsession in Salinas.

From Salinas, Rick was driving solo up to Lynden, Washington. For those who have Obsession Racing on their Facebook, he was also updating his travels as he progressed. This was Jeff Jones first time back in the seat of Obsession since the Oakland show in February. He also flew into Washington and met Rick there (he can’t use High School for a fly-in driver excuse, but we love him anyways). This event was for WHR Motorsports and it was also a racing and freestyle show. The event was only for Saturday night. In racing, Jeff made it to the semi finals and Rick won the finals! For freestyle everyone put on a fantastic show, you would have never known Jeff hadn’t been driving in 6 months! Jeff you did an awesome job and thanks for all of your help and support! Rick also won first place in freestyle! It was an awesome night for Obsession Racing. After the show Rick and Jeff drove back to Gary Basl’s and left the truck in Oregon and then flew home on Monday. Rick and I will be returning to Oregon in September for the Harvest Festival in Sublimity. We really appreciate all of Gary’s help and hospitality and we are looking forward to spending time with our Basl family!

If you go on to Facebook under ObsessionRacing, you can view Rick’s updates and comments for an on the road update and experience!

Jimmy would drive Bounty, and his wife Dawn piloted Scarlet Bandit. Darren Migues took the helm of Red Baron on a brand new chassis appearing in public for only the second time. Finally, Ben “Bobo” Winslow drove Iron Outlaw. The opposition consisted of Daron Basl of El Matador with David Smith in King Krunch in tow, Dan Runte driving Summit Bigfoot #16 and Larry Swim driving Snake Bite #14. Rounding out the field was Roger Stidell in Captain USA and hometown hero Ron Doncombe in the Maverik Monster Trakker.

The raceway’s signature figure 8 racing made for some interesting and wild finishes. The four semi-finalists were both halves of Team Bigfoot and one half of 2Xtreme Racing, both husband and wife Creten. Number one qualifier Bigfoot stomped on Bounty Hunter in the first semi-final and Scarlet Bandit took down Snake Bite in the other. In the 2 lap finale, Dan schooled Dawn at the line and never looked back, taking his third straight racing title at RMR.

Racing was followed by the wheelie contest, in which Larry in Snake Bite held the lead most of the competition, but it came down to the racing and freestyle winners from last year. Dan and Bigfoot scored an excellent 9.6 out of 10.0 but Jimmy Creten put the competition in his back pocket with a score of 9.95. Dan and Jimmy were looking to defend those titles on Sunday.

On the second and final day, Bigfoot picked up where he left off, taking the number one spot in qualifying with teammate Snake Bite right behind him. These two would then march right through the bracket to meet in an all Team Bigfoot double lap final. With all eyes on the finish line, both drivers ran hard, but Dan and Bigfoot retained his Racing Title from last year.

Unlike the previous night, the drivers had two minutes of freestyle time. Darren Migues and Red Baron took an early lead, but Jimmy and Bounty Hunter were ready. A combination of huge air, high speed and a three wheeled cyclone ensured there was no taking away his freestyle championship he won a year ago.

In other action, Idaho Falls’ own Ron Barrows gave rides to all fans who wanted one in his Thumper ride truck. To find out where they are performing, check out www.rideamonster.com. Until next time, thank you for reading, enjoy the photos and cheer on!
