Ben,

No, that was not my truck and I don't live in Washington. I was born and raised in Georgia, and I now live in NYC - Manhattan (since 1987) --- GO YANKEES! ... except for the years 1991 - 1994 when I lived in South Beach, Miami, Florida.

Reasons that I am a Sponsor/Advertiser on a Dodge Dakota Truck Website:

1) Mark (site owner) and I work at the same firm in New Jersey.

2) My cousin owns a Dodge Dealership in Georgia.

3) My Bro-In-Law owns a Dodge/Jeep/Ferrari/Maserati Dealership in England.

... so I have driven (and been in the garage with) many Dakota's, Durango's, Ram's, etc., etc., and have owned Dodge Trucks and Dodge Vans in the past.

I do not own a Dakota. It does not serve my needs when it comes to entertaining clients. I own an SUV (not Dodge).

I would like to take this opportunity to share the following:

THE RACE AGAINST DRUGS TIDE CAR



AMSOIL Races Against Drugs

AMSOIL is the proud sponsor of Race Against Drugs, a program developed by American Motorsports to assist with drug education in America. Race Against Drugs travels nationwide to inform children about the marvels of drug abuse. Race Against Drugs appears at race tracks (NASCAR, CART, IRL, APBA and others), community events (schools, shopping malls, parades and drug prevention rallies), trade shows (PRI, Circle Track and SEMA) and conferences (International Association of Chiefs of Police, Executive Offices Weed & Seed and the National Prevention Network).

Scott Steger, the deputy director of the organizations writes:

“On behalf of all of us at Race Against Drugs, I would like to thank AMSOIL for the support. I am sure you are constantly complimented on the superiority of your products in racing, passenger and fleet use situations. In the past year, we at RAD have logged over 450,000 miles in our towing vehicles using your products to lubricate engines, transmissions, rear ends and more. Not one of our trucks has suffered down time due in part to your fine products and your willingness to assist with the program.

Amsoil = American Synthetic Oil = Race Sponsorship

A lot of people ask: "Why don't I see Amsoil at NASCAR events?" Well, NASCAR has become so popular that is has become cost prohibitive for smaller companies to participate. However, Amsoil does Sponsor smaller regional events such as Off-Roading, Dirt Track, Snowmobile, Boating, Motorcycle Events, Etc. (one example below):

Rinker Wins NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Terry Rinker won his first National Championship for the
AMSOIL/Rinker/Blackhawk team by a convincing margin.


__________ __________

"We couldn't have done it without the support of our sponsors like AMSOIL," Rinker told the crowd. His margin of victory was 197 points in the end.

KingArthur, Thanks for asking!

Amsoil products are sold through Independent Amsoil Dealers like myself ... and people like you. People who want extra money, something to do in their spare time, even a full-time business.

You can start an independent AMSOIL Dealership for under $50 and put as much -- or as little -- time into it as you want.

There's always plenty of support, never any hassles. No quotas to fill. No inventory requirements.

You can establish commercial and retail accounts as well as sell to individuals. It's up to you ... extra money, a full-time income or rock-bottom prices on AMSOIL products.

The outstanding products offered by Amsoil comprise a rock-solid base upon which to build your business. There are many advantages to the AMSOIL Dealership opportunity that you simply won't find in other business opportunities:

1) Minimal start-up fee
2) No inventory requirements
3) No territory restrictions
4) No capital investment in office or warehouse space
5) No employee expenses or requirements

And above all, Amsoil provides Dealers with an excellent support system to help them develop their businesses; brochures, tapes, regular meetings, technical services -- everything you need to begin and build your business is available from Amsoil.

You can directly click on my Amsoil Website Link below. On the same page that you request a FREE Amsoil Catalog, you can "check a box" for information on becoming a dealer.
--------------------------------------------------

Amsoil Dealers and Amsoil Preferred Customers purchase AMSOIL products at wholesale cost. Amsoil Preferred Customer Memberships are recommended for people who are not necessarily interested in the business opportunity, but want the lowest possible prices on the best lubrication and filtration products for their vehicles and equipment. Preferred Customers pay the same low prices for Amsoil products that Amsoil Dealers pay.

Ten dollars ($10) gets you a six-month trial Amsoil Preferred Customer membership for buying Amsoil products at wholesale prices.

Do you know if AMSOIL would be interested in sponsoring a Legends Series race car? I'm trying to find a worthwhile sponsor and am not having much luck. Do you happen to have a contact and address at AMSOIL that I could send a proposal letter to?
Any info is greatly appreciated!

Amsoil Race Sponsorship = American Synthetic Oil
IP: Logged

Message:

Amsoil does assist Independent Dealers (like me) with Race Sponsoship. I would need additional information about the team for review --- like results, plans for the season or future, photos, media exposure and the benefit to me, your Amsoil Dealer / Race Sponsor.

You might ask ... What does a race team have to do in return for sponsorship?

A. The racer or race team will be asked to sign an agreement asking for first-class representation of AMSOIL. In return AMSOIL requires photos, testimonial statements and results to be used as the company see fit. Typically this information will be used on the AMSOIL web site and/or in company publications.

Send me an email if you are interested.

Can you supply email contact information? or can it be done through your web site?

My sponsorship request is probably slightly different than most out there. I'd love the opportunity to drop you a line, or better yet mail you my specific proposal, regarding racing sponsorship.

Any contact information,email or post mail address, is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Amsoil does allow (with certain qualifications) Legends Sponsorship:

_ _

Modified legends race car driver Tim Curtis, learned the value of AMSOIL products through experience on the track.

His first season of driving on the INEX legends circuit in 1998 was a long one, with lots of engine problems. He decided to see what AMSOIL products could do to improve durability and performance in his 5/8 scale legends race car.

"I tried every other oil under the sun that first season," Curtis said. "These cars run hot with the Yamaha 1200 air-cooled engine and no matter what I used or how often I changed it, it still smelled burned when it came out. The season ended with an expensive blowup. I started doing research on oils and found the performance characteristics of AMSOIL very intriguing, and the hype from loyal users was too much to ignore, so I bought a case to try out."

The results spoke for themselves, he said. The engine ran cooler and didn't seem to bleed power when it got hot. The next season's engine lasted the entire year and upon rebuild looked great, with reduced wear.

The legends car is AMSOIL-equipped from front to back with Series 2000 20W-50 Racing Oil in the engine, a Super Duty Oil Filter, synthetic Heavy-Duty Grease protecting the wheel bearings, suspension ball-joints and steering box, AMSOIL 80W-90 Gear Lube in the differential, and all of the rod-ends lubricated with AMSOIL MP Metal Protector.

The fiberglass body components are kept showroom clean and shiny with Amsoil Miracle Wash and after a long night at the track, the crew cleans up with Amsoil BriteSide Heavy Duty Scrub hand cleaner.

It doesn't end there. The 1999 Ford Expedition tow vehicle also is fully AMSOIL-equipped. It got a dose of AMSOIL Engine Flush when he bought it two years ago with 25,000 miles on the engine. "It is running strong as ever with 77,000 miles, pulling a 6,000-pound trailer in the 95-degree Carolina summer heat," Curtis said. He runs AMSOIL 5W-30 Motor Oil in the engine, uses a Super Duty SDF-11 Oil Filter, and AMSOIL Universal ATF in the transmission.

"I use the same in my wife Connie's 2001 Honda Odyssey," Curtis said. "The door hinges on my trailer also get a shot of AMSOIL MP Heavy Duty Metal Protector. I also use AMSOIL 100:1 2-Cycle Pre-Mix in my mowers and trimmers."

Curtis has collected several wins and finished an impressive top 10 PRO division N.C. state points championship for oval track legends, and a top 5 in PRO division N.C. state points championship for road course legends.

"It's great to have a product you can rely on and believe in," Curtis said. "When you talk about performance enhancement from lubrication you may get some funny looks, but the savvy guys will listen to you. Mainly what racers want is protection of their investment and AMSOIL products deliver both protection and performance."

My brother has raced these "hotrods" and I have driven a couple myself. They are awesome, and GOOD LUCK at the track.

Q,

I am busy painting a wall so I must be quick.

AMSOIL introduced the first synthetic motor oil with an API (American Petroleum Institute) Service Classification in 1972. Since that time, AMSOIL has varied and expanded its product line.

Amsoil is available in some stores -- mostly high performance speciality shops -- that lean more towards quality (for building performance and race engines, or an owner that appreciates superior products) than to a "price point" retail store (i.e. Walmart, etc.). I do know quite a few NAPA Stores that carry Amsoil (my cousin for one).

In the beginning, Amsoil, being a small speciality oil manufacturer, could never compete with the big guys for shelf space. Shelf space at the big stores is not free --- you have to pay for every inch of shelf frontage that you use. (I used to work in Management for an Import Company so I know this to be fact).

So, Amsoil started as a multi-level marketing company, also know as MLM, and once they decided upon this concept they could not change or 1000's of Independent Dealers would loose their business.

If you see Amsoil on the shelf, the retail store works in the same capacity as an Independent Dealer. His discount is only 20% --- so a lot of retail stores would rather carry higher mark-up oils, etc.

Time for the second coat of paint ... gotta go for now.

Vic, I will get to your question next time.
