Obsession Racing 2011 Press Release #7

(Menifee, California – Obsession Racing PR – By Jill Swanson) – On July 1st-3rd, Obsession Racing was at the San Diego State Fair with both trucks for WGAS Motorsports. All three days we had two exhibition runs that consisted of two minutes a piece. This fair is always a lot of fun because of how many people we know that attended the show. It is nice because after the event they open up the pit area to the fans which lets us mingle with them. It is always great to hear the compliments and comments from the wide array of fans on how they performed and how they appreciate our business. As always Eric’s capabilities and performance level always makes him a fan favorite as the Youngest Monster Truck Driver in the World.

For the Fourth of July we were in Pomona, California for the KABOOM Monster Trucks and Fireworks Show promoted by WGAS Motorsports. At this event we only had Eric’s Obsessed monster truck booked with him driving. Eric took the truck to the semi finals in racing. The truck that took him out was Iron Outlaw, who ended up winning the final round. For freestyle Eric was scheduled to be the third truck out. Eric’s typical fashion his first two hits were to back side the freestyle landing ramp and then he turned around and jumped off the ramp side! Eric was the first truck to do this and it was spectacular! He did an awesome job and finished up his freestyle with a no handed donut (which made him a little dizzy). The firework show was great and we really appreciate all of the help from Jeff Jones and his family.

Eric Swanson airs out Obsessed at the Kaboom event in Pomona.

On the 15th of July, Rick and Eric went to Turlock, California for John Shipman Motorsports for the opening night of the Turlock Fair. They were two of four trucks that put on an exhibition run after all of the tuff trucks were done racing. They didn’t have a lot to work with as far as obstacles, but Eric and Rick made sure they hit everything that they possibly could! Eric managed to even put the truck on the side two wheels for a short time and Rick caught some of the biggest air of the night! We would also like to thank Paul Churchill for helping to get all of the eight tires loaded and Laurie for the goodies.

Obsession flies through the air in Turlock, California.

2011 All Star Game BIGFOOT A Home Run in Phoenix

(Phoenix, AZ – BIGFOOT PR) – The 2011 edition of Major League Baseball’s annual All-Star FanFest dominated the downtown Phoenix Convention Center July 8th through the 12th, and taking part in it all for the second year in a row was Team BIGFOOT’s Firestone/All-Star Game BIGFOOT® monster truck!

Sporting the traditional red, white, and blue coloring and logo design of Major League Baseball, along with 2011 All-Star Game logos and Firestone branding, the truck was undeniably one of the most impressive sights in the convention center. In addition to getting up close and personal with the truck and having their picture taken with the awesome machine and its crew, fans also had the chance to snag one of the 10,000 free Firestone BIGFOOT toys given away over the course of the event.

Team BIGFOOT returned for the 2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Phoenix, Arizona.

“The MLB All-Star Game BIGFOOT was a joint venture between our team and our friends at Firestone last year, in an effort to support Firestone’s position as the official tire of MLB and the All-Star Game,” explained BIGFOOT 4×4 Inc. VP Bob Trent. “The truck was a huge hit at last year’s All-Star Game in Anaheim, so we felt we should bring it back again in 2011.” He added that “Many fans came up to us in Phoenix and mentioned that they had heard about the truck’s appearance in Anaheim last year, and that they were excited to have finally seen it in person.”

The All-Star FanFest is a family-friendly, highly-interactive experience open to the public for the five days leading up to the All-Star Game itself. It provides fans the chance to become even more intimate with the sport they love. Games, training clinics, mascot home run derbies, vendors, and auctions are just a part of the “everything baseball” atmosphere that FanFest offers.

And while the MLB All-Star Game BIGFOOT is an unprecedented step up for the monster truck industry in terms of brand cross-promotion, it is also the BIGFOOT Team’s first ever Chevrolet monster truck. “After running Ford-bodied and Ford-powered trucks exclusively since 1975, we felt that since Chevrolet is the official truck of MLB, the All-Star Game BIGFOOT must be a Chevrolet too!” explained Trent. “This was a big step in a new direction for us, and an exciting one as well. We even went so far as to replace the truck’s Ford power plant with a race-ready 540ci engine based off of a Chevrolet V8.”

Team BIGFOOT with the beautiful Firestone All-Star Bigfoot #10.

With the warm reception the truck received in Anaheim at last year’s FanFest, it came as no surprise that the truck’s appearance in Phoenix this year was once again a “home run” with the FanFest crowd. “We had a great time in Phoenix, and we met a ton of wonderful baseball and monster truck fans,” said BIGFOOT VP Jim Kramer. “Our whole crew truly enjoyed being ambassadors for the sport of monster truck racing, while at the same time soaking up some great baseball action. We’re already looking forward to Kansas City in 2012!”
