AMSOIL is the Official
2-Cycle Oil of
F-1 Power Boat Racing
AMSOIL Inc., the leader in synthetic
lubricants, announces its partnership with the Laughlin P.R.O.P Tour.
F-1 Power Boats offer race fans some of the most exciting racing on
water. AMSOIL has agreed to sponsor the 2001 tour and provide the
“Official 2-Cycle Oil”.
This form of racing started in the 1960’s. The sport became commonly
known as Formula One in the 1980’s. Boat modifications over the past
40 years have created today’s fast tunnel hull boats. A typical boat
weighs over 1000 pounds, has a 300+ horsepower motor and races at
speeds in excess of 125 mph. The boats turn on a dime. They can change
direction 90 degrees with drivers pulling over 5 G’s of force over a 1
1/4 mile course. Drivers from Minnesota, Wisconsin and all over the
country compete in the eight race P.R.O.P. Tour series which begins in
Laughlin, NV in June and concludes at Cypress Gardens, FL in October.
Each stop on the P.R.O.P. Tour will be televised in prime time on ESPN
2 allowing the races to be seen in over 71 million households across
the US and in 77 countries.
