Morgantown, W. Va. (February 7, 2013) – Racer Productions is pleased to announce that AMSOIL signed a multi-year deal as title sponsor of the 13-round AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series.

AMSOIL, based in Superior, Wis., first joined the GNCC Racing family as a series sponsor, later becoming a premier sponsor of the RacerTV television package on NBC Sports Network. With AMSOIL expanding its support as the title sponsor of the GNCC, the company’s ongoing commitment to the sport of off-road racing is allowing for new technology activations such as GNCC LIVE streaming, an all-new GNCCRacing.com and mobile website, as well as the launch of the all-new RacerTV.com this season.

“Becoming the title sponsor of GNCC is a great opportunity for AMSOIL,” said AMSOIL Race Program Manager Jeremy Meyer. “We’ve had a great partnership with the GNCC, its fans and teams, and we see cross country racing as part of the core of ATV and motorcycle racing. Racer Productions is introducing some innovative promotions through new resources, and that is something that excites us.”

AMSOIL will continue to be represented at all 13 GNCC events with items like the AMSOIL-branded mile-markers throughout the woods, increased track signage and the all-new AMSOIL GNCC logo. Additionally, AMSOIL will return once again as the name-in-title sponsor of Round 13 – the AMSOIL Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Ind.

“We are very pleased to enhance our ongoing relationship with AMSOIL as the name-in-title sponsor of the GNCC Series,” said Dean VanLeeuwen, GNCC Event Director. “We’re looking forward to the new opportunities that AMSOIL will bring to the series in 2013 and beyond.”

Two Winter X Games Medals for Team AMSOIL

Two Winter X Games Medals for Team AMSOIL

01/30/2013

In the past,  the spectacle of the ESPN Winter X Games has held different meeting at the farthest ends of the spectrum for Team AMSOIL racers Ross Martin and Tim Tremblay.

For Martin, the Judnick Motorsports star has mirrored his AMSOIL Championship Snocross success at Winter X, picking up three medals before landing in Aspen this year. For Tremblay, Aspen has never been kind as the defending AMSOIL Pro Open champion had yet to finish a race at the high profile event. For one weekend, the stars aligned as both riders brought home some hardware from Colorado.

Martin drew the first major obstacle by pairing up with five-time gold medalist Tucker Hibbert in the first heat. Martin went bar-to-bar with Hibbert for the eight-lap qualifier, finishing second and earning one of the coveted transfer spots  into the final.

Scheuring Speed Sports rider Tremblay grabbed the first gate pick in the second heat, but the burly Canadian had to go up against teammates Robbie Malinoski and Darrin Mees.  Tremblay followed Matt Piche for the first few laps before taking the lead and the heat win. Malinoski crashed out of the contest while making a pass into third. Mees was running right behind Tremblay in second before a mechanical knocked him out of the race.

In the final, Martin and Tremblay were the odds-on favorites to stop Hibbert’s run towards a sixth straight gold medal. Martin grabbed the early lead with Tremblay in third behind Hibbert. A few laps in, Hibbert got around Martin and the battle for second was on between Martin and Tremblay. The running order would stay the same for the remainder of the race as the three top sleds stretched a sizeable lead over the rest of the field.  Hibbert won the gold, with Martin picking up his fourth medal and Tremblay leaving Aspen with the bronze.

Up next on the ACS schedule is a weekend stop in Deadwood, S.D. for two days of the worlds best riders going head-to-head. Racing will be held Friday and Saturday nights. A live stream will be available at www.isocracing.com

Celebrating over 100 years of entrepreneurial spirit at this location, Will Farrow and his crew are proud to announce the opening of their new motorcycle shop.  B.L.C.

Now after almost 4 years we are going strong. We have learned alot in our time and tried to make all feel welcome. It's part of the old time bike shop feeling that was important to me. It dosent matter what you ride just that you do ride and enjoy the wind. Also that your bike is safe to ride. A lot of people know how to ride but I am surprised at how many don't know what's safe or not, but then that's our job to know.

I have over 41 years experience working on and playing with bikes.  We specialize in V-Twins and British motorcycles, Metric Cruisers, and Sport Bikes, as well as custom fabrication.  I say, "if you can dream it... I can do it."  I have tried to do this whereever I can.   We love a challenge.

Patrick (the Hogdoctor) came to us early in the summer of 2012, he's fantastic! He has worked on Harleys just about each and every day of his life. He comes with many years of Harley training as a certifed Master Level Harley Davidson Service Tech and has provided invaluable input when it comes to the right and wrong way of doing certain procedures.  To top him all off he's a Decorated combat veteran that knows right is right and wrong is always wrong. He's driven by incessant curiosity and a need to understand how things work and a desire to make them work better. Theres no challenge too great for the Hogdoctor.

Then theres John (UGLY) Kucker hes our metric sport guy and also a Certified Harley Technician. He grew up on mini bikes, three wheelers, four wheelers, dirt bikes and anything that had a motor. John likes to go fast. He says meaner the better, the more unique even better. He likes the bikes he turns into Street Fighters to be something different something cool that fits the rider. Something that's wicked fast!

So as there are different kinds of motorcycles we have a good man to cover it no matter what it is. I stake our reputation on it each day.

Will Farrow, Ownerhttp://www.biglakecycle.com

AMSOIL recently released a new Snowmobile Products Guide. AMSOIL Racing sat down with Product Specialist Shane Hickey to discuss this new tool and how it can help sled enthusiasts.

AMSOIL Racing: Why was the Snowmobile Product Guide created?

Shane Hickey: The Motorcycle Product Guide is immensely popular, so AMSOIL decided to provide the same service for the snowmobile market. The Snomobile Product Guide is the first of its kind for finding what you need for your sled. This leaves the door open for other powersports product guides as well (ATV, inboard, etc.).

AR: What type of information is included?

SH: The Snowmobile Product Guide features information and equipment specifications for over 2,000 unique snowmobile applications covering all major manufacturers form 1990 to present. We took the information you would find in your owner’s manual and made it available online to save time. All the information you need is in one place.

AR: How is this beneficial to racers?

SH: Racers are able to input the year, make, model and engine type of their sled. The snowmobile guide provides comprehensive information on the type and amount of product you will need.
