Team AMSOIL/Torchmate Finishes Second at Inaugural Ultra 4 Stampede

Team AMSOIL/Torchmate off-road racers Brad and Roger Lovell competed at the inaugural Ultra 4 Stampede race just east of Reno, Nev. on September 11. The three-lap, 66-mile race took place on a challenging course of rough and rocky desert roads and three untamed canyons. After some last-minute tuning, prep and double checks, the green flag dropped and the brothers powered their way through rocks, silt and dust. By the third lap, they held second place by 18 minutes and found themselves deep in lapped traffic. At the top of the second rock canyon, however, the rear axle lost its lubrication. With the win now out of sight, the team focused on finishing, kept a strong pace and limped across the finish line in second.

“The brutality of this race redefines rock racing,” said Brad Lovell. “It joins King of the Hammers as the ultimate test for this type of truck. Once we lost fluid, I thought for sure the rear axle would fail, but the coating of Amsoil saved it from seizing. Torchmate was a great help and opened their shop for all competitors before the race. This was a well-run, well-promoted race and a confidence booster for me to get back up on the podium.”

Travel Anywhere With Your Motor Home

In recent years, motor homes or RVs, have become the preferred method of travel for many. They can make traveling more enjoyable, as you can appreciate the scenery, which you can’t do in a plane. You can use the rest room without stopping, which you can’t do in a car. And you can stop anytime you want, which you can’t do in a train. And because you are traveling with a bed in the back, it doesn’t matter what time you stop for the night. Also, you don’t have to worry about getting all your stuff out of the hotel in the morning if you are staying in different towns on your vacation.

Motorized RVs and Towed RVs are the two types of motor homes. The name says it all. Motorized RVs move under their own power, while the towed RVs are hooked to the back of your car or truck. Towed RVs are also called campers or trailers. Of the motorized RVs, there are three types: Class A, Class B and Class C.

This is the largest and most expensive type of motor home. They have all the comforts of home such as living area, bedroom, dining room and a kitchen. The driver and passenger seats can actually spin around so they can double as a couple extra chairs in the living room. The thing that makes these so popular is they drive just like your car. Except for the size, you don’t need to learn anything different when driving a Class A, as they don’t take much to get used to.

The smaller Class B motor home is built on the same chassis as a van with a raised roof. These are fairly small, generally speaking, but are also easy to drive. They contain a living area, bedroom, bathroom and a dining area as well. They are quite a bit smaller than the Class A and they have less overall space and the sleeping quarters are quite small.

If your budget is tight, the class C is for you. They are considerably smaller than the other two classes. The sleeping area is built over the drivers cab. This type is built on a truck chassis. The nice thing is that these also have a living, bath and dining area, but they are going to be rather small. The low cost and towing capability of the Class C makes it good choice also.

When faced with purchasing your motor home, there are a lot of options to consider. From what size to what your budget is. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you go shopping.

There are some things that are overlooked when you first take a look. One is to make sure you are buying from a person you can trust. If the salesperson cannot answer your questions, keep looking. It may be a good idea to buy from a dealer as opposed to the guy down the street.

It is also very advisable to take a test drive before you buy the motor home. How does it feel? Can you drive it comfortably? Is there enough room so that your passengers are not sitting on each other? Is the bathroom large enough to use? You have to feel absolutely sure about the motor home. Try every thing out before committing to buy.

If you are not sure you want to own an RV, you can rent one instead. If you don’t think you will use it very often or can’t afford it, renting may be a good option for you.

If you find a model you like but it doesn’t come with all the amenities you want, check with the dealer. The same model may be available with the extra flash you are looking for. Be sure you shop around. This is a big decision and you don’t want to settle on just any model.

A motor home is a great way to travel to and from your vacation destination. You don’t have to stop for bathroom breaks or worry about gathering all your things in the morning from the hotel room – it travels with you!

Journeying On The Green Highway Is Good For The Environment And Your Pocketbook

If you’re going to be engaging in a voyage across this gorgeous country of ours, there are a number of things you can do to make your travel as eco-friendly as doable.

The first thing to accomplish is take your automobile in for a detailed inspection, to make sure it will be able to securely make the expedition you want to make. Have the oil changed, all fluids topped off, and so on. Do not merely glare at your tires with a critical eye and determine that they’re fine – check them with a tire gauge and be absolutely certain. And if they’re the least bit underinflated, top them off while you’re at it.

Very simply, underinflated tires throw away gasoline. And by extension, cash.

The faster you move in your vehicle, the more gas you burn. This can be a compromise. The faster you drive, the sooner you get to your destination, and the more time you have to spend on break. But in actuality, just how much time do you bank? Two hours?

It is undoubtedly tough to be the only automobile on the roadway going 60 when everybody and their brother is going by you you driving 70, although at the end of the day it saves on cash and gasoline.

In case this is a family excursion, you will have, typically, your spouse and two children with you in the vehicle. And since two kids can’t sit still for a long time, you’ll be stopping at rest stops and possibly at markets, simply to take the boredom out of the journey.

It’s at times like these that lots of litter builds up in the vehicle, which ultimately has to be thrown away.

One technique to avert this is to pack lunches for the children, so there’s no necessity to stop at restaurants. Coast in to a opportune rest-stop, move your fare out of their glass containers, repack your glass containers for forthcoming use, stroll around appreciating the sites of the rest-area (there are frequently signs calling attention to sites of historic interest through which you will be going by), and then return on your path.

After that you have to find some location to sleep for the night. Make an effort to locate an eco-friendly lodging at which to stay. There are several sites on the web where you can hunt for “best green hotels” or “green hotel bookings.” Typically these lodgings will have restaurants that serve organic foodstuff, use eco safe cleaners, employ recycling bins, put into practice water conservation (with low flow lavatories) and so on.

And while you set out on your voyage, be cautious about getting too much “stuff” or mementos that you will only throw away once you get home, as opposed to things you truly like and will proudly exhibit.

Your family journeys should be memorable for you… but your must leave as small a footprint behind as feasible.

Here’s a helpful earth-friendly living word of advice:
