OIL TWINS AMSOIL RACERS RACK UP PODIUM FINISHES IN PASSCAR ACTION!



(May 27, 2011, Montclair, CA) Oil Twins Amsoil drivers Stephanie Herbage and "Big Jake" Everhart both recorded podium finishes at last Saturday's PASSCAR Stock Car event at Southern California's Perris Auto Speedway. Herbage, who resides in Moreno Valley, California, came home second in the American Factory Stock Class while Everhart, who lives near the track in Perris, was third in the Oil Twins Amsoil Street Stock main.

For Herbage, who is contesting her second full season of racing on the PAS inner quarter mile oval, the runner-up finish catapulted her to the number two spot in the championship point standings. In addition to her second place finish last Saturday, the Riverside Community College student drove her black #33 Camaro to the win in the season opener on April 18th. In her only other race of 2011, she finished seventh on May 9th.

Everhart's third place in Saturday's Street Stock main was his best yet in 2011. Like Herbage in the American Factory Stocks, the finish moved Everhart to second in the Street Stock championship standings. Before Saturday, Everhart's best finish of the campaign was a fourth on May 7th. One of the pre-season favorites to win the 2011 championship, Everhart started fifth in Saturday's main event and by the time the checkered flag ended the race, he was closing in fast on the lead duo.

Everhart's teammates, his wife Ronnie and their 17-year-old son Dalton, were also in the Street Stock feature. Like his father, Dalton posted a season best fifth place finish after starting eleventh. Ronnie was having a strong run near the front of the pack early on before breaking a rocker arm and finishing 10th. After Saturday's race, Ronnie is fourth in the standings and Dalton is sixth.

Herbage and the Everhart clan will be joined by another Oil Twins Amsoil driver, defending American Factory Stock champion Steven "Bam Bam" Fangmeyer of Corona, when the PASSCAR Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday, June 25th.

OIL TWINS AMSOIL'S TIM BROWN LEADS CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT CAR SERIES!




(May 26, 2011, Montclair, CA) This Saturday Night, May 28th, the California Lightning Sprint Car Series will return to action in the Annual Salute to Indy at Southern California's Perris Auto Speedway. Leading the 18-year-old series into the famous Riverside County clay oval is Oil Twins Amsoil driver Tim Brown of Wildomar, California.

A long time amateur motocross racer, Brown, 51, was also a big Sprint Car fan. Four years ago he went to a Lightning Sprint Car race at Barona. "It is a funny thing," he said with a laugh over the phone on Wednesday afternoon. "I watched it and I said, 'I can go out and win this.' So, I went out and bought a car. I never practiced in it, I just went and raced and found out it was not as easy as it looked."

Brown always liked going fast and was fully prepared to do so the first time he sat in the car, but he did not realize how much more was involved in the set up of the car as opposed to a motorcycle. While he is still learning set ups to this day, he has had a phenomenal start to the 2011 season and is leading the CLS points heading into Saturday's race. In the first five races of the campaign he has three second place finishes, a fourth and a ninth. He leads the second place driver by 36-points as they prepare to attack the brightly lit PAS half-mile clay oval.

Brown met Andy Jones of the Oil Twins through 2009 CLS champion Stuart Hielscher. Jones offered Brown a CLS Amsoil sponsorship. At the time Brown was using a different brand. "At that time I was changing my oil every race," Brown emphatically said. "The guys I bought my car from said the best thing you can do is change your oil every race. So that is what I was doing. Andy told me his product was better than what I was using and I would not have to change the oil so often so I bought a case."

When Brown purchased his first case of Amsoil, Jones told him instead of changing it every race, go three races before changing. "With the old brand, when I would change oil after every race, it would almost look like it separated," Brown said. "It had a strange look to it. It appeared whipped and had a swirled look to it. When I ran the Amsoil, I took Andy's advice and ran it three races. It is a real gold looking oil. When it came out after those three races, it looked like it had not even been used. It was still the same exact consistency and was as gold and clean as it was the day it went in. That was after three nights of running the thing at 13,000 RPM's for 45 minutes."

Brown was amazed by the product and told that to Jones. He was pleased with Amsoil and the Oil Twins were happy with him. They decided they would offer him additional support for the season to fight for the championship. In addition to their lubricants, Brown uses the Amsoil Coolant Boost and Heavy Duty Metal Protector on his chain.

Crowning of the 2011 California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion is still a little over five-months away. However, with his current point lead, consistent driving style and Amsoil in and on the car, Tim Brown would is a good bet to be the man on top of the heap when the final checkered flag falls.

Highlights of the Saturday's race will be available from Raceway Video. http://racewayvideo.com/

In addition to Brown and the California Lightning Sprint Cars, the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, Senior Sprint and the WRA Vintage Cars will all be in action on Saturday night. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM and the first race will be at 7:00. For more information, please visit the track's web site at: http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/

OIL TWINS AMSOIL TEAM WELL REPRESENTED SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY!


(May 19, 2011, Montclair, CA) Four different drivers will be flying the colors of the Oil Twins Amsoil Racing Team at this Saturday's PASSCAR race at Southern California's Perris Auto Speedway. The husband, wife and son team of Ronnie, Jake and Dalton Everhart will be battling each other and the rest of the field for supremacy in the Oil Twins Amsoil Street Stocks and Stephanie Herbage will be flying the Oil Twins flag in the Pick-A-Part Factory Stocks. Saturday will be PASSCAR Fan Appreciation Night and the first 100 fans will be admitted free. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM and the first race will be at 5:30.



The Everhart name has been synonymous with Perris Auto Speedway for the past nine seasons. Ronnie (short for Rhonda) began the family legacy in 2003 when she not only won the track championship for the Sport Compacts at The PAS, but also the combined championship between The PAS and Orange Show Speedway. To prove those championships were not flukes, she brought the Perris title home again in 2004.



Soon after winning her second crown, Everhart moved up to battle in the Street Stocks with her husband Jake and two years ago they were joined by their then 15-year-old son Dalton. Heading into Saturday's race at The PAS, they rank second, third and fourth in the Oil Twins Amsoil Street Stock championship standings and they are separated by a mere 16-points.



The Everhart clan comes to the racetrack as a family, but once the green flag drops, it is every driver for them self. "Out on the track we are focused on our own agenda and that is winning the race and doing the best we can," Ronnie said. "Once in a while the family thing comes into play. I have seen my son get into a situation and I can't help it, but I react as a mother would react. We try to keep our personal feelings out of it, but you know racing, it is a pretty passionate sport."



Two years ago, Ronnie blew more engines than any driver at the track. It was her worst season to date and that was due to the engine failures. However, the family team picked up a sponsorship from the Oil Twins and began using Amsoil. Since then, her luck has turned around 180 degrees. "The key to victory is good equipment, staying out of trouble, consistency on the track and well maintained cars," she said. "Amsoil helps us in maintaining the cars. Two years ago we lost a lot of engines. Then we signed with Amsoil and our engine situation improved drastically. It has helped our performance on the track and prevented us from all of the blown engines."



In addition to the Everhart clan, the Oil Twins logo will fly proudly on the #33 American Factory Stock of Moreno Valley's Stephanie Herbage on Saturday night. When the 2011 season opened on April 18th, Herbage raised a lot of eyebrows when she led every lap of the main event for her first ever win. Coming into this week's race, the Riverside Community College student sits third in the championship point standings only six points out of second and only 23 behind the leader.



In addition to sponsoring the drivers mentioned above, the Oil Twins are corporate sponsors at Perris Auto Speedway and the proud presenters of the Oil Twins Dominator Awards at every PASSCAR race. The driver who passes the most cars in the Street Stock main event will receive a $50.00 certificate for Amsoil products and the driver who does likewise in the Factory Stock main will receive a $25.00 certificate. Each of those drivers automatically qualify for the season ending Oil Twins Challenge on October 29th.

AMSOIL Racers BBR Motorsports Return to PAS


Last week’s PASSCAR race marked the return of reigning Factory Stock Champion, Steven “Bam Bam” Fangmeyer #50 and his teammate, Mike Burks Sr. #55. Both of the drivers from the BBR Motorsports stable brought excitement back with them by winning their heat races. In the main event, the two started 1&2 and were side by side when the #55 took a sharp right turn (note: should be making only left turns) and skidded sidewise on two wheels down the back stretch. Burks continued the race but suffered two flats which took him out of contention and ended up with a DNF.

Meanwhile, Fangmeyer had his hands full of a stock car with no power steering. He was good in the long runs when he could keep his rhythm and the car straight. Multiple cautions gave the 11 car an edge and Fangmeyer took home a strong second place finish.

Other notables in the Factory Stocks were “Super Stephie” Herbage in the #33. Building on her win in the season opener, she managed a seventh place finish after starting from the back.

In the Street Stock division, Dalton Everhart #72 won his heat, but suffered suspension damage after an early tangle for a DNF. “Big Jake” #12 and Ronnie Everhart #17, both had strong finishes with Jake in fourth and Ronnie in sixth.

The family leaves the weekend with an impressive points standing, 2nd: #17 Ronnie Everhart, 3rd: #12 Jake Everhart and 4th: #72 Dalton Everhart.

2011 NSRA Western Regionals – Day 1& 2



Thousands of Hot Rod enthusiasts were exposed to AMSOIL and AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint Car racing. The AMSOIL Coolant Boost stole the show with the Perris Auto Speedway Show Car in close second.

A recent article in Street Rodder Magazine and testing performed by AMSOIL sparked the interest in Coolant Boost.
