2 AMSOIL ACTION NEWS / JULY 2009

A. J. “Al” AmatuzioPresident and CEO, AMSOIL INC.

You will notice in this issue of your Action News that the second edition of the motorcycle white paper, A Study of Motorcycle Oils, is now available. Many of the same oils that were tested for the original edition were included again, and a few new oils were added. Also added was the following editor’s note:

At the time of its original printing in December 2005, the A Study of Motorcycle Oils white paper represented the most comprehensive study of motorcycle oils ever pub-lished. The document served to educate hundreds of thou-sands of readers on the complex dynamic of motorcycle oil and motorcycle operation. The paper revealed, through an exhaustive series of relevant industry tests, that the motor-cycle oils available to consumers varied greatly in quality and in their ability to perform the functions of motorcycle lubrication.

This second edition printing maintains the same sci-entifi c approach and includes the same testing protocol. Additional oils were tested, and some of the original oils tested differently than they had initially, indicating for-mulation changes. It should be noted that while some oils tested more poorly than they initially had, others showed improvement. Whether or not this improvement can be credited to the data revealed in the original publication remains a matter of speculation. In any case, as motor-cycle oils continue to improve, consumers will benefi t.

The real point of interest for me lies in the last three sentences. Most notable is the fact that some of the oils tested did actually test better than they origi-nally had. As indicated, we can’t be sure that those

formulations improved because of the results we revealed, but I strongly suspect that is the case. It may very well be that we shamed them into improving. It wouldn’t be the fi rst time.

Think back. It wasn’t long after our introduction of the world’s fi rst API-rated synthetic motor oil that others began to follow. Mobil 1, of course, was the most notable. AMSOIL had raised the bar. We had set a new standard in motor oil quality and the others could simply ignore it no longer. A small start-up company in northern Wisconsin was establishing itself as the quality leader.

We followed that original 10W-40 with our revo-lutionary two-cycle oil. Again, we had taken lubrica-tion to a new level, and I was particularly proud of that product. It represented my philosophy, and the philosophy shared by our executive vice presidents Alan Amatuzio and Dean Alexander, when formulat-ing lubricants. As we developed that oil I ignored the expense and kept insisting that we maximize the addi-tive level to ensure the absolute best performance. Our supplier had never seen that done to that extent, but recognized, then and there, that AMSOIL was not a normal lubricant manufacturer. That oil was released to consumers with a 100 to 1 mix ratio recommenda-tion, but tested fl awlessly at 200 to 1. You can be sure that other two-cycle oil manufacturers took notice.

We continued to set the standard with the devel-opment of diesel oils, marine oils, racing oils and an outstanding line of drivetrain lubricants. We, quite literally, lead the way in the advancement of lubrica-tion. I seriously wonder if, even today, we would still be stuck on 3,000-mile drain intervals if it were not for AMSOIL INC. And I wonder also if the volatility of motor oils would even be an issue today if AMSOIL had not begun measuring it many years ago. I could go on.

I guess the real point of the motorcycle oil white paper and our continuous pursuit of quality is summed up in the final sentence of the editor’s note:

In any case, as motorcycle oils continue to improve, consumers will benefi t.

That’s where AMSOIL Dealers come in. You repre-sent a company that is absolutely committed to doing the right thing for consumers. Rather than offering products that prey on the 3,000-mile drain mindset, you offer products that save money and the environ-ment. Rather than offering products that hide behind meaningless slogans and gimmicks, you offer prod-ucts that do what they are promoted to do. And rather than offering products that are formulated to mini-mum quality standards, you offer products that set the quality standards.


Maxim Honda Gains Edge on Competitors

With AMSOIL Products

Maxim Honda of Allen, Texas became a retail-on-the-shelf account for Direct Jobbers Ron and Sandra Ward about 18 months ago.

“As a premier motorsports facility, we are always looking for premier products that give us an edge over the competition,” said Chris Gunter, Parts and Accessories Manager. “AMSOIL has certainly been that type of product. We have confi dence that the products do what the company says they will do. We have had very good success and top-notch service from our AMSOIL Dealers Ron and Sandra Ward. Thanks AMSOIL for a great product line.”

Maxim Motor Sport/Honda was listed in Cycleworld’s 28th annual edition as one of the top 100 dealers in the U.S. in 2008.

The Wards obtained the account through the AMSOIL Leads Program. “We made contact and registered them,” Sandra said. The Wards keep their accounts through “exceptional customer service,” she said.

Maxim sometimes hosts events where vendors dis-play their product lines. “As a courtesy, we generally

set the day aside to provide product information and AMSOIL stickers,” Ward said. “Chris’ favorite rider is Mike LaRocco, so when we attended AMSOIL University 2009 we got Mike LaRocco posters to bring back. Needless to say, that went a long way in going the extra mile.”

Ward has seen customers at the Harley dealership near Maxim Motor Sport walk over and purchase AMSOIL products for their bikes.

“The superior AMSOIL product line is the reason we have done so well in the motorsports community,” Ward said. “Being able to offer a product for each application makes for repeat sales not only in the Retail-on-the-Shelf Program, but also from our home offi ce.”

Gunter said sales of AMSOIL products are picking up as the shop has increased its marketing. One of the most popular products is AMSOIL SAE 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV) for Harley applications.

“The AMSOIL products have been a nice addition to our chemical line,” Gunter said.

AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils provide outstanding protection and performance for today’s high-stress motorcycle engines, and the AMSOIL “A Study of Motorcycle Oils” white paper (G2156) has served as an effective tool for Dealers in their efforts to help custom-ers make educated decisions regarding which lubricant is best-suited to provide the best possible protection for their motorcycle investments. AMSOIL once again sub-jected AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 Motorcycle Oils and a wide range of competitors to the same battery of tests and once again, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils came out on top. The updated white paper is now available for purchase.

The testing used to evaluate the lubricants was done in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) procedures. Test methodology is indicated for all data points, allowing for duplication and verifi cation by any analytical laboratory capable of conducting ASTM tests. A notarized affi davit certifying compliance with ASTM methodology and the accuracy of the test results is included in the appendix of the document.

The test results of 15 different SAE 40 motorcycle oils are compared with each other, while the test results of 17 different SAE 50 motorcycle oils are compared with each other. Each oil was subjected to 12 tests:

1) The Initial Viscosity Test (ASTM D-445) measures the initial SAE viscosity of lubricants to ensure the SAE grades indicated by the manufacturers are representative of the actual SAE grades of the oils.

2) The Viscosity Index Test (ASTM D-2270) measures the degree of viscosity change that occurs when lubricants are subjected to temperature changes.

3) The Viscosity Shear Stability Test (ASTM D-6278) determines the viscosity change that occurs with lubricants when subjected to shearing forces.

4) The High-Temperature/High-Shear Stability Test (ASTM D-5481) measures the viscosity of lubricants when subjected to both high temperatures and shearing forces.

5) Zinc Concentration (ppm, ICP) measures the quan-tity of the anti-wear additive zinc dithiophosphate (ZDP) within lubricants.

6) The Four-Ball Wear Test (ASTM D-4172) determines the wear protection properties of lubricants in case of metal-to-metal contact.

7) The FZG Gear Performance Test (ASTM D-5182) measures the ability of lubricants to protect trans-mission gears against scuffi ng (adhesive wear).

8) The TFOUT Oxidation Stability Test (ASTM D-4742) measures the oxidation stability of lubricants in the face of fuel, metal catalysts, water, oxygen and heat.

9) The NOACK Volatility Test (ASTM D-5800) measures the ability of lubricants to resist volatilization (evap-oration) in high-temperature service.

10) The TBN Acid Neutralization and Engine Cleanliness Test (ASTM D-2896) measures the acid-neutralizing abilities of lubricants by determining the level of acid required to neutralize their alkaline properties.

11) The Foaming Tendency Test (ASTM D-892) mea-sures the ability of the anti-foam additives within lubricants to control foaming.

12) The Humidity Cabinet Rust Test (ASTM D-1748) measures the ability of lubricants to protect against rust formation.

To complete the comparison, the prices of all tested lubricants are also included.

At the conclusion of all testing, each oil was assigned a score for each test result, with the top-performing oil assigned a one, the second-best performing oil assigned a two, etc. Because a quality motorcycle oil must perform well in many different areas, results in all categories were added together to produce an overall total for each oil. The oil with the lowest total is the highest overall performer. As in the past, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils clearly emerged as the top-performing oils in each group.

With nearly seven million motorcycles registered in the United States, and an increasing number of new customers buying motorcycles every year, the AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil White Paper is a valuable tool for AMSOIL Dealers. Sitting down with prospects and reviewing the results will leave no doubt which motor-cycle oils provide the best protection for expensive motorcycle investments.

A Study of Motorcycle Oils White PaperThe updated “A Study of Motorcycle Oils” white paper is now available for purchase.

Stock # U.S. Can.G2156 1.00 1.15

Pass Example: AMSOIL MCV (0-0-0) Fail Example: Lucas High Performance (500-555-510)

The following is a sampling of the test results covered in the updated

“A Study of Motorcycle Oils” white paper:


10 AMSOIL ACTION NEWS / JUNE 2009

In order to test the performance capabilities of AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil (AME), AMSOIL sought a partner with a fl eet that oper-ated in truly severe conditions. The perfect match was found in Duluth, Minn.-based Nordic Waste. Nordic Waste operates a fl eet of 10 International refuse haul-ers, providing trash and recycling pickup to residential and commercial customers in the greater Duluth/Superior, Wis. region. Nordic’s trucks operate in the bitter cold of sub-zero winters, as well as on humid summer days that can top out at over 90ºF. The fl eet runs 12 hours a day with frequent stops and redlined starts, all while hauling up to 22,000 lbs. of refuse and navigating the seriously steep hills of Duluth.

As if the geographic challenges aren’t enough, perhaps the greatest strain a refuse hauler’s engine faces is dumping the refuse. This action requires the engine to remain near or above redline throughout the process and shakes the truck enough to nearly lift the front tires off the ground. Nordic’s trucks dump their contents twice daily, challenging the oil’s shear stability on a regular basis.

The truck used in this study is a 2006 International 7400 rear-loading refuse hauler. This particular truck was chosen because its Navistar DT466 engine employs a hydraulically-actuated, electronically-con-trolled unit injector (HEUI) that uses engine oil pressure to inject diesel fuel into the combustion chamber. HEUI systems feature a variable pump (in addition to the oil pump) that pressurizes the oil according to the fuel injection system’s needs, placing a considerable amount of additional strain on engine oil. HEUI systems can raise oil pressure to as high as 3,500 psi, creating great potential for shearing and adding signifi cant stress to motor oil that is already operating in a severe environment. The HEUI system’s reputation for shearing less robust motor oils made the DT466 engine the perfect choice for testing the durability of AMSOIL Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil.

983-Hour Drain IntervalNordic Waste initially installed Shell Rotella T 15W-40 Motor Oil (239 hours). AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel and Marine Oil was installed for the subsequent service interval and monitored via oil analysis. AMSOIL Diesel and Marine Oil provided 983 hours of service before oil analysis indicated it was time to drain the oil. As expected, the results revealed that AMSOIL Diesel Oil contained wear metals well below International’s pub-lished condemnation limits, even after nearly 1,000 hours of service.

Routine TeardownAt approximately 8,000 hours of use, Nordic Waste brought its International 7400 refuse hauler to a certi-fi ed International Truck mechanic for a routine tear-down. The engine was virtually free of deposits, displayed minimal wear and received high praise from the mechanic who performed the inspection.

Use of AMSOIL Diesel Oil Saves MoneyNordic Waste saves a considerable amount of money

just by using AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel and Marine Oil rather than a conventional petroleum product. The company has used inferior products in the past, and its search for a high-performance lubricant that could withstand the punish-ment its fl eet delivered led it to AMSOIL.

“With the big hills, high heat and extreme cold we work in, nothing has performed better,” said Nordic Waste Owner Brian

Johnson. Prior to discovering AMSOIL, the conven-tional lubricants Nordic used would shear out of vis-cosity-grade rapidly and need to be changed at approximately 200 hours of service. Upon switching to AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel and Marine Oil, Nordic Waste increased the average drain interval for its trucks from approximately 200 hours to nearly 1,000 hours. In addition, Nordic’s use of AMSOIL Diesel Oil means the company’s trucks are well-protected and run at optimum fuel economy, so they stay out of the shop and on the road.

“We experience less downtime and have seen reduc-tions in costs associated with engine overhauls and replacement parts,” said Johnson. “We buy signifi cantly less oil, fewer fi lters and we experience lower labor costs. Our biggest savings have been the reduced number of engine overhauls and replacement parts.”

Use of AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel and Marine Oil saves Nordic Waste thousands of dollars in oil alone, in addition to reduced expenses for labor, fi lters and waste oil and used fi lter disposal.

Motor Oil Quality Evolves With Engine Technology

The history of lubrication can be traced back as far as the very beginning of transportation. Until the 19th century, lubricants were primarily composed of animal fats and vegetable oils, but a new means of lubrication and a whole new industry were born when the fi rst crew successfully drilled for oil in 1859.

Early on, viscosity was identifi ed as one of the most important characteristics of a motor oil, and oils were divided into light, medium and heavy viscosity classes. As soon as instruments capable of measuring viscosity were introduced, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed a complete viscosity classifi cation system, which included 11 different viscosity grades. Viscosity modifi ers allowed manufacturers to begin developing multi-grade oils in 1945.

Engine technology has improved dramatically over the years, increasing the protection and performance required of motor oils. In order to meet public demand for vehicles with greater fuel economy during the oil embargo of the 1970s, automobile manufacturers pro-duced smaller, lighter cars powered by smaller and more effi cient engines. When fuel injection became common on gasoline-fueled engines, it placed even greater demand on the vehicle’s engine oil as it was required to fl ow and reach critical components as quickly as possible.

In today’s world, high fuel prices and environmental concerns have driven up demand for high-performance, fuel effi cient, environmentally-friendly vehicles. To meet this demand, vehicle manufacturers have produced more aerodynamic cars with reduced air fl ow through the engine. Although these vehicles are more fuel effi -

cient, they exhibit higher engine operating temperatures than earlier automobiles, putting even greater stresses on the engine oil in the areas of oxidation stability, deposit prevention and wear protection.

Established in 1970, the API Engine Service Classifi cation System (ESCS) was designed to classify oils according to their performance characteristics and type of service. In 1993, the API Engine Oil Licensing and Certifi cation System (EOLCS) was launched, a voluntary program which allows marketers who meet the minimum performance requirements to mark their oil containers with the API certifi cation marks.

API service categories for gasoline engines are com-prised of two letters. The fi rst letter is “S” for “service,” and the second letter is assigned alphabetically accord-ing to order of development. Thus, the fi rst service category of “SA” is the earliest, while the latest is “SM.” Because each new service category exceeds the per-formance requirements of the previous category, oils meeting the current API specifi cation are suitable for use in all vehicles calling for an older specifi cation.

The introduction of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil in 1972 set all-new standards for motor oil quality and performance, becoming the fi rst 100 percent synthetic-based motor oil to pass American Petroleum Institute (API) service requirements. AMSOIL continues to lead the way in the synthetic market, offering motorists the ultimate in wear protection, all-temperature perfor-mance, maximum fuel effi ciency and extended drain intervals.



Motor OilIn the early days of automotive lubrication, motor oil was just plain base oil. When wax modifi er was added to the base oil in the 1930s to address the problems created by wax residue, the motor oil additive market was born. Today, motor oils contain a wide variety of additives designed to improve their protection and perform-ance capabilities. Motor oil additives serve three essential functions: protect-ing metal surfaces, expanding the lubri-cant’s application range and extending the lubricant’s life.

SSurffaaacee PPrrooteectionn AAdddititivivessSurface protection additives effectively address issues related to metal surfaces: • Anti-wear agents protect against fric-

tion, wear, scoring and seizure.• Corrosion and rust inhibitors protect

internal metal parts against corrosion and rust.

• Detergents keep surfaces free of deposits.

• Dispersants prevent insoluble contami-nants from agglomerating by keeping them dispersed in the lubricant.

• Friction modifi ers alter the oil’s coeffi -cient of friction.

Perrfrforrmmaancnce AAdddid titives sA second group of additives serves to improve the lubricant’s performance: • Pour point depressants (used in petro-

leum lubricants) modify wax crystal formation and enable oils to fl ow at lower temperatures.

• Seal swell agents help swell elastomeric seals by causing a chemical reaction in the elastomer.

• Viscosity modifi ers help reduce the rate of viscosity change when temperatures rise or drop.

PPrProtto ece tivveve AAdddd ititivvesesA third group of additives works to extend the service life of the lubricant:• Anti-foamants reduce surface tension and speed the

collapse of foam.• Anti-oxidants reduce the oxidation rate by decompos-

ing peroxides and terminating free-radical reactions.• Metal deactivators reduce the catalytic effect of metals

on the oxidation rate, further slowing oxidation.

Combining the industry’s premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils exceed the high performance demands of modern engines, effectively withstanding the stress of higher horsepower, higher heat and complicated emis-sion control systems. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils consistently outperform competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils for superior protection and per-formance over extended drain intervals.

Drivetrain LubricantsAlthough gear oil faces many of the same challenges as motor oil, it also has additional responsibilities, such as carrying damaging wear debris away from contact zones and muffl ing the sound of gear operation. Gear oils are placed under extreme levels of pressure, often leading to boundary lubrication conditions (when a full fl uid fi lm does not exist between surfaces). Differentials in cars and trucks feature a ring-and-pinion hypoid gear set that can experience boundary lubrication, pressures and sliding action that can wipe most of the lubricant off the gears. Extreme-pressure (EP) additives are added to gear oil in order to provide additional protec-tion within this extreme environment.

AdAdA ddid titiononnalala CChahah lllllenenngegessAdditional challenges faced by gear oils include rust and corrosion protection. Because many of the com-ponents found in the drivetrain consist of ferrous mate-rial, drivetrains are more susceptible to rust and corrosion than engines.

Gear sets found in the drivetrain can be noisy and may be subjected to shock-loading conditions. The viscosity and extreme-pressure formulation of gear oil quiets gears and dissipates shock loading.

The rotating motion of gear sets churns the gear lube, subjecting it to foaming and signifi cantly reduced load-carrying capacity. When gear teeth come into contact with each other, trapped air bubbles compress and reduce the thickness of the separating oil fi lm, leading to direct metal-to-metal contact and increased wear levels. Only the air is compressible; the oil is not. The gear oil must have the ability to dissipate this entrapped air, ensuring a suffi cient lubricating fi lm exists to protect the gears from contact wear.

Drivivvetrarainn FFluluid AAdditivesLike motor oil additives, drivetrain fluid additives improve the protection and performance capabilities of the base oil. Many of the challenges faced by drivetrain fl uids are met by the additives. • Extreme-pressure and anti-wear agents minimize

component wear in boundary lubrication situations.• Pour point depressants improve low-temperature

performance.• Rust and corrosion inhibitors protect internal

components.• Oxidation inhibitors reduce the deteriorating effects

of heat, increasing the lubricant’s service life.• Viscosity index improvers allow the lubricant to

operate over a broader temperature range.• Anti-foam agents reduce the harmful effects of air

trapped in a lubricant.• Friction modifi ers reduce friction.

AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATL) is engineered to exceed the requirements of GM, Ford and Toyota where low-viscosity oil is required, providing outstanding protec-tion and performance over extended drain intervals, even in severe operating conditions.

Hydrraaua lic c Flluiu ddHydraulic oil not only provides the medium for hydrau-lic power, it is also responsible for lubricating hydraulic components, cooling the system by transferring heat and minimizing wear, friction, deposits, rust and corrosion.

Standard hydraulic fl uids are composed of about 99 percent base oil and 1 percent additives. Although


water was used as the original hydraulic fl uid, it was replaced by mineral oil base stocks in the 1920s due to their lubricating properties and higher boiling points. Modern hydraulic fl uids are composed of either min-eral, synthetic or natural (vegetable) oil base stocks, as well as a wide range of additives such as antioxidants, anti-wear agents, demulsifi ers, detergents, dispersants, foam inhibitors, pour point depressants, metal deacti-vators, rust inhibitors and viscosity modifi ers. A variety of different additive packages are used in different hydraulic fl uids, and selecting the right package is critical to equipment performance and life.

AMSOIL Synthetic Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oils (AWF, AWG, AWH, AWI, AWJ) are shear-stable, long-life lubri-cants formulated with premium synthetic base oils and additive systems that inhibit oxidation, rust and foam. Synthetic Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oils also contain a very effective zinc-based anti-wear/antioxidant additive that prevents wear in high-speed, high-pressure vane and gear pumps while meeting the lubrication requirements of axial piston pumps with bronze-on-steel metallurgy. Synthetic Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oils reduce maintenance costs by extending drain intervals and reducing labor associated with repairs, downtime and change outs.

AMSOIL Synthetic Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil (TBI) is designed to biodegrade to its natural state when subjected to sunlight, water and microbial activity. Because it is formulated with ashless additives that do not contain heavy metals, it has a very low toxicity level. TBI is based on high-quality, synthetic oil chemistry that out-performs vegetable oil-type, biodegradable hydraulic oils.



The AMSOIL/Torchmate team dominated the second annual ROC Race in Colorado Springs, Colo., sweeping the podium by taking fi rst, second and third place. Brad Lovell and Bill Kunz started the competition strong by set-ting the fast time on their fi rst offi cial run, and the team only got faster on their ensuing runs as they became the only team to beat eight minutes. In the second day of competition, Lovell and Kunz lined up against park owner Ray Mandel. Although Mandel took the early lead, Lovell

and Kunz were right behind and, as the trucks took sepa-rate lines through a wash, Lovell and Kunz pushed into the lead. However, as Mandel attempted to re-take the lead, he hit Lovell and Kunz in the air and landed on them. Although they were unable to complete the run, the pit crew repaired the truck enough to compete in the fi nal two races. Having already set fast times over the weekend, Lovell and Kunz were able to ease their pace and bring home the win.

Following two top-fi ve fi nishes at Infi neon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., Team AMSOIL road racing star Larry Pegram was looking for a strong fi nish at the sixth round of the AMA Pro Racing American Superbike Championship, held June 5-7 at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis.

The American Superbike race featured an epic battle between Pegram and Mat Mladin. Pegram started the race strong by grabbing an outstanding start from the second row and claiming the lead for the fi rst six laps. From there, a seesaw battle between Pegram and Mladin ensued, with the two continuously wrestling the lead from each other. The race came to an exciting conclusion on the fi nal lap, with Pegram grabbing the lead on the front straight heading into turn one, but Mladin passing him on turn three. Pegram fi nally sealed the deal on the run from turn three to turn fi ve, pulling away from Mladin for a 0.342-second victory. The victory vaults Pegram to fourth in the overall standings.

“It was defi nitely a great race,” said Pegram. “I was expecting that I could run the pace, but I wasn’t expecting to lead like that most of the time. I was real comfort-able.”

AMSOIL is the Offi cial Oil of AMA Pro Road Racing and presenting sponsor of the Daytona SportBike class.

After all four Team AMSOIL 250 motocross riders landed in the top 10 at the opening round of the 2009 AMA Motocross season at Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino, Calif., the team was looking for similar success at Hangtown Classic in Sacramento, Calif. They started strong as rookie rider Justin Barcia grabbed the holeshot in the fi rst moto just ahead of teammate Trey Canard. Barcia eventually fi nished second, while Canard fi nished third. Teammates Brett Metcalfe and Blake Wharton fi nished fi fth and ninth respec-tively in the fi rst moto. In the second moto, Canard fi nished second, earning a second place overall podium fi nish. Metcalfe fi nished fourth for fourth overall, Wharton fi nished fi fth for seventh overall and Barcia fi nished 29th for 10th overall, marking the second straight race all four Team AMSOIL riders fi nished in the top 10. In the 450 class, Dan Reardon fi nished seventh in the fi rst moto and fi fth in the second moto for sixth overall.

Trey Canard earned a second place podium fi nish in Sacramento.

AMSOIL/Torchmate Team Sweeps Podium i


The second and third rounds of the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL were full of excitement, drama and intrigue as Team AMSOIL racers battled it out at the Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, Calif. May 29-30.

Coming off an impressive win and second place podium fi nish at Texas Motor Speedway, Red Bull/AMSOIL Pro 2wd racer Ricky Johnson continued his winning ways in Perris, taking the wins on both Friday and Saturday and extending his overall points lead to 22. Saturday’s race saw AMSOIL racers earning a sweep, with Jeremy McGrath and Dan Vanden Heuvel taking second and third respectively behind Johnson. AMSOIL Super Team racer Mike Oberg fi nished sixth on Friday and was battling for second on Saturday with four laps to go before a mechanical issue dropped him to eighth.

In the Pro Light class, AMSOIL racer Jeff Kincaid earned the win Friday, while AMSOIL Super Team racer Chad Hord fi nished third. Hord again battled up front with Kincaid on Saturday. During a restart, the two veteran drivers pushed hard, but a red fl ag came out after Steve Federico jumped the start. When Federico slowed down in the dangerous back stretch, he caused a massive chain

reaction that caused Hord to fl ip his truck into the K-rail. After changing a fl at tire and retaking his spot on the restart, he captured the attention of the sold out crowd by pushing the AMSOIL-sponsored truck to the front and earning the win. His third podium of the year vaulted Hord into a tie with Kincaid for the overall lead.

“That was one of the most exciting races of my life,” said Hord. “I’ve never felt the energy of a crowd like I did tonight. To come back after that crash and win is just unbelievable.”

In the Pro 4x4 class, AMSOIL Super Team driver Scott Douglas was looking to build off his second place podium fi nish in round two. On Friday, he started on the outside of row two and settled into fourth before passing Curt LeDuc by the third lap. While holding off pressure from LeDuc and Adrian Cenni, he passed AMSOIL racer Steve Barlow on lap nine for second. From there, AMSOIL racer Johnny Greaves and Douglas diced back and forth all the way to the checkered fl ag, with

Greaves taking the win and Douglas earning the second place podium fi nish.On Saturday night, Douglas started in good position, but was hit multiple times

on the opening lap, spinning him into the outside concrete retaining wall. Quickly gathering himself, Douglas proceeded to catch up to the pack. By lap six, he was battling for fourth and by lap 11, he was back in third. From there, a three-way battle ensued with Greaves and points leader Rick Huseman to the checkered fl ag. Greaves fi nished second, while Douglas fi nished third and moved into third in the overall standings, just three points behind the second place Greaves.

“I knew we had a very fast truck tonight, and I was looking forward to putting the AMSOIL Kumho Ford through its paces for these great California race fans,” said Douglas. “We took some hard hits on the fi rst lap, but thanks to the best crew in the business, the truck held together. Our truck prep is second-to-none and even with the obvious damage I was able to run it on the ragged edge and challenge for the lead.”

Scott Douglas earned second and third place podium fi nishes in the Pro 4x4 class.

Ricky Johnson earned wins in the Pro 2wd class on both Friday and Saturday.

Chad Hord took the win in the Pro Light class on Saturday.
