In 2007, we were involved in sponsoring two individual race cars/drivers including Al D'Antonio, (shown on our Home Page in the winner's circle on 8-11-07 at Orange County Fair Speedway (OCFS); and Gary LaBagh in his 38 Special shown above, also in the winner's circle on 8-11-07 at OCFS. Two feature wins in one night!
We sponsored the Pro Stock class at Accord Speedway for 2007 (see "Links" page).
Our 2009-10 racing involvement was nil and 2011 is still likely to be slim to none as other expenses and the recent national economic downturn have jumped up and bit us in the derrier as it has for so many of us.
Our old 1996 Dodge Ram 2500HD 4wd pickup was traded in Sept 2009 on a new 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Actual (not estimated) gas mileage since then has averaged 38+ mpg with frequent excursions into the 50+ mpg range. This vehicle will shortly be converted to Amsoil engine oil and filters.
Our "long in the tooth" 2001 Subaru Forester is still with us. It gets “driven hard and put away wet” and is occasionally used to tow a trailer that is 200% of its rated capacity with no ill effects (so far) to the point of possibly being abused. But it still gets its annual oil change.
(The Ford Fusion will soon be converted to Amsoil's 0w20 engine oil and Ea oil filter .)
(The Subaru uses Amsoil's Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil which was changed at 12-14 month intervals. This oil is rated at 30,000+ miles or one year between changes. At the last annual oil change in October 2008, I also changed over to the new EaO oil filter. Due to the relatively small size of the filter, I still expect to change the filter at 6 months, but this is way better than having to change it at 3 month intervals as I did in the past.) Well, so far (Mar. 2011) it has been over 2 years since the last oil and filter change - maybe I should be getting nervous!
So what should YOU do? Switch to AMSOIL and follow AMSOIL’s recommendations – do as they say, not necessarily as I do.
