    Last night my wife and I attended a meeting Of Amsoil

    Dealers from the Seattle Tacoma area.Guest speaker was

    Donald Nichols from Roanoke Virginia.Mr. Nichols spoke

    for two hours.It was a question and answer period

    mostly.His first question was "who knows anything
    about

    Nascar Racing"?About a dozen dealers raised their

    hands."How many race teams do you think use Amsoil in

    their race cars"?I was thinking maybe half but it is

    70% and Mr Nichols sells to these race teams.Jeff

    Gordon,Dale Jarret,Petty Racing,Earnhardt to name a

    few.This is a secret among the race teams as Big oil

    Spends millions to advertise their name all over these

    cars.His best story was about I believe Tim Richmonds

    team having Chevron Uniflo of Superflo plastered all

    over.Chevron does oil analysis after each race.When

    they switched to Amsoil four races went by and then

    Chevron wanted to see them extract the oil with a

    company tech on hand.They came to realize that it was

    not their oil being run in the car they so heavily

    sponsor."Well what are you using in it then"?Amsoil !

    Why?Team manager explained to the Chevron fellow."I

    know your name is on our car but would you rather see

    it in the front of the pack or in the middle or back

    because this car is three miles per hour faster with

    the Amsoil than the Chevron blend...I asked him what

    the other teams used.Roush Racing blends their own oil

    and Mobil 1 are next most popular.I found out a lot of

    things that I never knew last evening I thought I
    would

    share with those who love to treat their cars to

    premium products.....

    Chris.
