OBSESSION 4 (OBSESSED) - future driver

Eric is 9 years old. His whole life he has been around monster trucks. Even in the womb Eric's dad Rick read him monster truck stories. He went to his first event at 8 weeks old. He has always enjoyed motorsports and sometimes we think he thought he was actually was a monster truck. He loves racing against his cousins over pillows with flags tucked in their pockets and yelling at the top of their lungs almost as loud as the real monster truck motors. At 5 years old he got his first dirt bike. It was a XR50. He learned how to ride it with no problems. He started racing it a year after he got it. Of course Dad couldn't leave it stock. He added a 88cc kit, pipe, carburetor, rev chip, shock, swing arm, oil filled forks (just a few things). He didn't need it he was winning all his races without. But fast is always more fun! Eric continued racing and taking first place in his series in the fast 50's class. He has earned his very own sponsor (LBZ) and is a real sportsman. For his 8th Birthday he got a RM65. He started racing it this year. He is racing both bikes and is doing an excellent job. He can't wait until he can reach the gas petal in the Monster Truck (because we know that is the only petal he will use). Dad is working on a Monster truck for Eric to drive. He is looking forward to competing with Dad. He is always critiquing Dad on his driving. But when he gets in the seat he better know how to do fiberglass work because he thinks it totally cool to flip. Little does he know those things cost money. Daddy tells him its not about destruction its about keeping it under control and skill. He will learn these thing after spending countless hours working and repair it. The name he chose for his truck is Obsessed. We know he will be a great driver. He loves to help Dad whenever he can in the shop. He know every sound, when to gas it and when not to. His parents are very proud of him and were happy that he is a little Obsessed!
