Top AMSOIL Amateur Claims Two Titles at World Mini GP

Top AMSOIL Amateur Claims Two Titles at World Mini GP

April 18, 2011

Justin Barcia, the overall points leader in the East Coast Lites class of Monster Energy Supercross did it.  So did top supercross rider Eli Tomac. Please don’t forget about their GEICO/Honda teammate Blake Wharton.  HJustin Bogleeck, reigning outdoor motocross champion Trey Canard started the process.

These four accomplished professional riders all started the same.  They were all top riders for the AMSOIL/Factory Connection team during some distinguished amateur careers.  They all won championships at the top levels of amateur motocross, including Loretta Lynn’s Amateur Nationals presented by AMSOIL, World Mini Grand Prix and Ponca City National Championships.  They were all part of the high-profile Factory Connection program put into place by team owner Rick "Ziggy" Ziefelder.  The idea was to sign one top rider each year from the amateur ranks and begin grooming him for a spot on the team’s 250-program in the pro supercross and motocross series.

That commitment continues in 2011 with the heart-stopping Justin Bogle.  The Cushing, Okla. resident will Justin Bogle Team AMSOIL/Factory Connectionbe piloting the AMSOIL/Factory Connection #891 this summer, and has already been busy picking up wins this spring.

Bogle spent all of last week in Mesquite, Nev. racing in four classes at the 40th World Mini Grand Prix.  Bogle won two championships in Nevada, including the 250 Stock and Modified Pro championships.  He also finished second overall in the 450Stock Pro class and registered a second in the first heat of the 450 Mod. Pro class but did not race in the second heat, finishing 19th overall. 

 

It looks like another success story in a fantastic amateur program.

AMSOIL Dual Remote Filtration System

INSTALLING THE BRACKET ALONGSIDE THE
ALTERNATOR PRODUCES VERY LITTLE VIBRATION.

 

This Dual Remote Filtration System (BMK23) was installed on my
2004 Chevrolet Suburban Z-71. Using 1/4-inch thick steel, we fabricated
and attached a bracket alongside the alternator to hold the bypass
unit. Both the oil supply and return lines measure five feet and
attach to the filter adapter that threads onto the original equipment
manufacturer oil filter mount. We used 45-degree fittings in order to
more easily route the lines forward and up to the by-pass unit. Plastic
conduit also was installed to protect against heat. System capacity
increased from 6.2 quarts to 10.

These are really cool 3/4 size motorcycles that are street legal. On top of that, Hardknock Customs recommends Amsoil from SyntheticOilHQ.com. I ran across this one at the Omaha Car Show.

Pegram and May Kick Off 2011 American Superbike Series

Pegram and May Kick Off 2011 American Superbike Series

This is MY TEAM TO WATCH THIS YEAR!  It’s great to see Buell still going.

This past offseason, Team AMSOIL road racing rider Larry Pegram made a major move from his previous Ducati bike to the BMW S 1000 RR. After months of testing, Pegram unleashed the new bike at the opening round of the 2011 AMA Pro Road Racing American Superbike Series at Daytona International Raceway in Daytona, Fla. Although he placed ninth off the pole and fell further behind after a first-lap crash, Pegram remounted and worked his way up to seventh. On Saturday, he pushed his new bike one spot better, finishing sixth.

“Daytona didn’t go exactly how I had hoped,” said Pegram. “But the BMW S 1000 RR is a fast bike and I feel like we’ve really got it dialed in now. We’re looking forward to the next race and I think this is going to be a great season.”

Team AMSOIL/EBR rider Geoff May climbed aboard his proven EBR 1125 model to finish 20th and 12th respectively. The team will unveil the new EBR 1190R bike later this spring.

“There are always a few gremlins at the first race of the year, but we know the 1190 is coming soon and Geoff did a great job despite the lower horsepower,” said team owner and legendary bike builder Erik Buell. “The AMSOIL bike was a big hit in Daytona, and everyone was excited to see us back in the Superbike class.”

The AMA Pro Road Racing season resumes May 13-15 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif.
