PRODUCTS THE PROS USE: My AMSOIL Garage

AMSOIL-sponsored race teams rely on AMSOIL products to get them to the finish line, whether that be on the track or simply getting to the race. Teams are made up of more than just the rider and the race vehicle; additional support is needed from the crew, haulers and pit vehicles. AMSOIL has an online tool that stores vehicle information and facilitates easy product recommendation and ordering. AMSOIL Racing sat down with Internet Services Manager Dewey Asbach to discuss the MyAMSOILGarage™ feature on www.amsoil.com and see how it benefits racers.

AMSOIL Racing: What is MyAMSOILGarage?

Dewey Asbach: MyAMSOILGarage originally launched as a supplement to the AMSOIL Auto & Light-Truck Application Guide. It provides a virtual “garage” in which users store all their vehicle's information so they don't have to re-enter it each time they want to determine which AMSOIL products they need. Users can also track oil and filter changes and establish email oil change reminders. Since it was launched, MyAMSOILGarage has been expanded to allow users to store information for virtually any vehicle, including motorcycles, heavy-duty trucks, lawn equipment and more. You can also set it up to track additional maintenance services such as belt changes, brake work or tires. It has really become a complete vehicle and equipment maintenance software program.
AR: Sounds like you've thought of everything.
DA: The system works well, but we are always working on improvements. We are currently streamlining the account-creation process for new users and making some changes that should make the service even better for our existing users. We are targeting early 2012 for the release of the first series of small upgrades.

AR: How can this tool benefit racers?

DA: Occasionally our Race Program Manager, Jeremy Meyer, manages to convince me to get away from my computer for a while and take in some of our sponsored racing events. The shows are always exciting, but what amazes me most is how much activity is centered around the equipment we fans never even get to see out on the track. These teams are in charge of maintenance for a multitude of equipment behind the scenes. Large teams have everything from massive hauler rigs and motor homes to smaller pit vehicles like ATVs and motorcycles – not to mention all of those smaller motors in things like compressors and generators. Even the smallest racing operation will often have a tow vehicle and trailer to maintain. If your passion is racing, the last thing you want keeping you out of the action is a breakdown of your support equipment, so keeping everything maintained is critical. MyAMSOILGarage can email you reminders when it is time for maintenance on anything you want to track and will have the products you used last time right at your fingertips. It’s a great way to keep maintenance under control so you won’t miss a race and your equipment gets the protection it needs.
