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.”

The event to determine the Fastest Street Car in America started at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio, then went to O’Reilly Motorsports Park in Indianapolis, IN, Milan Dragway in Milan, MI, Pittsburgh Raceway Park in New Alexandria, PA, and then back to National Trail from September 14 through the 18. The 1200 mile long drive took everything from daily driven hot rods to street-legal race cars over Midwest highways and back roads, followed by a few hours of drag racing each day. When all was said and done, Larry Larson rose to the top as the overall winner.

Larson’s ’66 Chevy II runs a 565 cubic-inch, twin turbo engine and laid down an unbelievable 6.95 at 209 mph quarter-mile pass on the last day. Again, this is after driving 1200 miles in the rain, on the same tires and with the same equipment as what he used on the track. The rest of the classes provided just as much excitement with great performances, gut-check travails on the road, and an overall family feeling and atmosphere. If you’ve never witnessed Drag Week for yourself, make sure to come out and at least watch in 2011.

We’ll list the winners of all ten classes shortly, each one on the receiving end of a case of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil. Congratulations, Larry!

Canard Tops at Red Bud; Three AMSOIL Riders in Top 5

On the strength of his win in the second 250cc moto of the day, GEICO Powersports/AMSOIL rider Trey Canard won his class Saturday at the AMA Pro Motocross Championship RedBud National.
Canard finished fourth in the first moto and had the same average finish as Dean Wilson, who finished third and second. However, it was Canard’s win that made the ultimate difference. The key moment was his pass of Wilson late in the second moto, which sealed both the moto and overall victory.
“I knew Wilson was riding really hard,” Canard said. “I wasn’t sure he could keep that pace because he was really pushing it. I just tried to stay calm and make sure I made it through the moto.
The victory is the first of the outdoor season for Canard, who pulled to within seven points of third place in the season standings.

(Racer X Interview with Canard)

All of the AMSOIL sponsored riders improved from Moto 1 to Moto 2.
Justin Barcia finished fifth and third in his 250 motos to wind up fourth overall. He nearly captured second place in that second race during the moto’s waning minutes.
Blake Wharton suffered a busted lip after a rock from the track came up under his helmet and hit him in the mouth early in the second moto. He rallied to finish fourth in, two places higher than his first moto, and he ended fifth overall on the day.
Rookie Eli Tomac finished 10th overall on the day after finished of 12th and ninth, respectively.
On the 450cc side, Brett Metcalfe finished fifth and fourth for an overall finish of fifth on the day. He did slip to third in the season standings, but he’s only three points out of second.

The AMA Pro Motocross Championship takes a week off before resuming is schedule on July 17 at the Spring Creek National in Millville, Minn.

Teague and Rinker All Out

On The Water: Teague and Rinker All Out When it comes to racing power boat racing, AMSOIL has two of the best. Bob Teague is not only the tech editor for Power Boat Magazine and owns one of the top engine shops in the world, he is also unbeatable in his #77 AMSOIL Skater. Teague has one just about every race and championship over the past few years and will now be a featured racer on the GEICO Series television show that will air on Versus later this year. Teague will race in Ocean City, Md. this weekend. From big inboard motors to high end outboards, we turn to Terry Rinker for titles. Rinker, who has won championships four of the past six seasons, will run an open schedule in 2010 after the dissolving of the Champ Boat Series. Rinker finished second in points in 2009, and will be the headliner at the Bay City event June 26-27. Along with all of that, you can also find AMSOIL at the AMA Amateur Nationals presented by AMSOIL, Sturgis Bike Rally, Laconia Bike Week and all of the AMSOIL Shock Therapy Monster Truck shows. Oh, and please don’t forget the Diesel Power Challenge, the AMSOIL Street Rodder Tour, the National Street Rodder Tour, the Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge and the Top Truck Challenge. As you can see, it will be a busy summer for Team AMSOIL. Until then, we’ll see you at (all) the races, Jeremy Meyer AMSOIL Race Program Manager
