Description
Rick's Obsession started with building a 1970 Ford Bronco. This was Rick's first vehicle. He purchased it from his Grandfather while in high school. He fixed it up to take it off road. One day he realized that it cost more than his paycheck to keep up this sport. He decided he would fix it up and take it to car shows. One day Rick was pulled over by a feature editor of Four Wheel Magazine. He wanted to do an article on the Bronco. Having the truck in magazines and showing the Bronco was much more profitable. He acquired sponsors for the truck and progressed from then on. The Bronco was show material only and wasn't street legal when Rick had finished modifying it. He then purchased a full size Bronco to trailer the 1970 Bronco to shows. He also fixed up the full size Bronco to show. After showing the trucks for many years, Rick decided he wanted to build a Monster Truck. He sold the full size Bronco to pay for the frame, axels and four link bars. This was the beginning of Obsession. At the time Rick managed a printed circuit board shop owned by his father, while building the truck. He also worked for a trucking company to make money for the rest of the parts for the truck. Rick needed a name for the truck. He asked his wife Jill what she thought would be a good name? She said, “why don't you call it Obsession, since your Obsessed with trucks.” For the color scheme Rick new he wanted yellow, but couldn't decide what colors he wanted to go with it. They had a party and Jill looked at the plates and the colors were purple, yellow and teal. They thought that they went well together and that is how they chose those colors.
Rick and Jill have been successfully running the monster truck for 9 years. The first year they did about 10 events. They are now up to 40 weekends per year with Obsession 1. Their two other trucks that use the truck bodies run for about 10 events each a year. They are eagerly working on their second truck that will eventually be for their son Eric. They are happy and proud that they are able to work as a family. Some people may think they are a little Obsessed, but they are proud to say they have made it this far.
