Canard Earns Rising Star Award

Team AMSOIL supercross rider Trey Canard was awarded the Monster Energy Supercross “Rising Star Award” earlier this month at the Monster Energy AMA Supercross awards banquet at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. Canard earned the award not only for his overall third place finish in the West Coast Lites class, but for his impressive six-week run in the 450 class. Canard earned podium finishes in five of seven Lites races, as well as five of six 450 class races.

“I really didn’t expect it,” said Canard. “The award is awesome though, and I’m excited about it. The team and I worked hard this season and it turned out really well.”

Canard’s success this season also landed him on the cover of the July issue of Racer X.

Rinker Kicks Off 2010 Racing Season

Rinker Kicks Off 2010 Racing Season

Team AMSOIL powerboat racer Terry Rinker was looking to get a jump on the competition at the first race of the 2010 P.R.O.P. Series in Port Neches, Texas. The weekend started strong, with Rinker clocking in the fastest time in the time trials. He took fourth in the first qualifying heat, and after weather forced the cancellation of the second heat, Rinker

started the main event in the fourth position. After making a pass to move to third, Rinker’s quest for a victory came to an abrupt end as the boat spun into a violent barrel roll.

Because the race course was near the Gulf of Mexico, the electrical connections, switches, boat and motor components had been treated with a light coat of AMSOIL Metal Protector and Heavy Duty Metal Protector. A post-race inspection showed very little sign of electrolysis or saltwater corrosion.

Rinker will compete next at the Bay City River Roar in Bay City, Mich. on the weekend of June 26-27.

Synthetic Motorcycle Oil – Your Best Protection

Motorcycles are as equally deserving of high-quality lubricants as automobiles. In fact, many motorcycle engines operate at up to 10 000 revolutions per minute – almost double that of a typical motor in a passenger car. At these types of speeds, the stresses in an engine are extremely high, and it is important to choose the right oil to protect internal components.

Synthetic motorcycle oil can really go a long way towards protecting your engine, chain case and transmission. Since most motorcycles are pleasure vehicles that are not driven every day, or not usually driven for extended periods, the amount of time a bike spends parked means that motorcycles are particularly prone to rust issues resulting from storage. Humid conditions can also accelerate the formation of rust, leading to corrosion in the engine and on the chain. Many people assume that since their engine and chain are oiled that they are protected against this type of damage, but in order for an oil to provide maximum protection against corrosion, it must contain special additives which are designed to coat and protect at all times. Synthetic motorcycle oil is specifically formulated with these add
