During the first Cat Lite heat, Team AMSOIL was making a charge on the first place boat when an engine went into “guardian” mode due to an overheat sensor. Team AMSOIL finished the heat in 2nd place behind Peppers.

The AMSOIL Offshore Race Boat returned to the pits to make repairs and adjustments and then headed out for the second heat. Team AMSOIL was assigned to lane two for the start between Peppers and Popeyes. After the green flag dropped at the start, all three boats ran side by side towards turn 1. Popeyes pinched the Team AMSOIL boat from the outside and Peppers hopped out into Team AMSOIL’s path. A minor collision transpired with the Team AMSOIL boat being hit on both sides. Bob Teague and Paul Whittier took evasive actions which cost them precious seconds on the race course. Even though Team AMSOIL was able to run some faster laps than the 1st place boat, there was not enough time to catch them while also battling boat traffic on the race course.

Team AMSOIL ended placing second in both heats and overall.

The AMSOIL Offshore Race Team continues to have great results with the new 15W50 Dominator Racing engine oil and the array of AMSOIL lubricants used in every component and system in the race boat. The team thanks AMSOIL for its great sponsorship package and attributes its racing success to the superior lubricants it offers. Thanks also go to AMF Offshore Racing for race support and their efforts to further the entire sport of offshore powerboat racing.
United We Race!
