MONTCLAIR, CA- The AMSOIL - Oil Twins drove home Sunday with big smiles on their faces. The smiles were compliments of all the teams and racers associated or sponsored by the two. "We had a team on the podium in almost every class" said Casey. "But the biggest reason for the smiles is from our A Stock Hydroplane (Casey Jones, driver) winning the weekend for the first time."
After entering the sport in August of 2013 and racing at three events, the Oil Twins were able to win the weekend in the ASH class the first time. A series of events lead to the victory, "Casey nailed the start in his first heat and fought rough water to take the win", said Andy Jones (crew chief). "With all racers 'jumping the gun' in the final, cancelling the heat, and Sunday's race being cancelled due to the wind, Casey became the winner of the event..." A big "congratulations" goes out to the team as they prepare for their next race at Lake Minden May 31st & June 1st.
In other action, the K-28 driven by Steve Sequiera won the K Racing Runabouts (K-Boats) class. K-Boats are a propeller-driven inboard boat. The engines and fuel are virtually unlimited, almost anything goes. These boats are fast, competition speeds over 100 MPH. Steve's boat is powered with motor from PFAFF Engines, protected by AMSOIL. "We are proud to be apart of the K-Boat 'Back to the Future' race team", said Jones. "When the K-Boats are on the water, the crowd is watching and Steve gave them plenty to see."
In the Pro-Stock and Super-Stock class there is only one #1 and it belongs to "Bucks up" Racing. "We started working with the 'Bucks up' Racing this year", Jones explained. "The team is deeply rooted on the world of boat racing. Everyone knows who 'Bucks up" Racing is. If you don't, you will learn very quick. We would like to congratulate the team on the win and thank them for choosing the AMSOIL-Oil Twins to protect their engine."
