TEAM AMSOIL WINS IN MOREHEAD CITY, NORTH CAROLINA AT
THE CRYSTAL COAST SUPER BOAT GRAND PRIX

Team AMSOIL Offshore traveled from New York City to compete in the 4th Annual running of the Crystal Coast Super Boat Grand Prix.  The dry pits for this event were located in the middle of downtown New Bern and also included a car show featuring numerous rare and modified hot rods, muscle cars, choppers, and exotic cars.  The spectators and racing fans were plentiful during the entire event. 

Boats were craned in by the Port of North Carolina at Morehead City using massive cranes normally used for loading and unloading containers off ships. The Viewing area for the race was on the Port docks where bleachers were set up next to a VIP area.  From the viewing area, the entire 5.4 mile race course could be viewed.

Team AMSOIL tested on Saturday after rebuilding a carrier assembly on the left transom assembly.  On Sunday, there were two races.  The Manufacturers’ Production Classes and Stock Outboard race started at 12 noon.  The faster and larger boats raced at 2 PM.  Team AMSOIL was assigned to the third start in the 2 PM race, paired up with the War Paint Cat 750 boat.  Team AMSOIL raced a fast and consistent race moving up through the pack of boats that started in the second start.  The Cat Lite’s progress was hampered about three-fourths through the 84-mile race when a blade snapped off one of the propellers.  Fortunately, by this point in the race, Team AMSOIL had won its class and War Paint had retired due to mechanical problems. 

The win at the Crystal Coast Super Boat Grand Prix puts Team AMSOIL Offshore #77 in an unbeatable position in the Super Boat International points chase.  Team AMSOIL Offshore Racing is currently in the lead in point standings in OPA, OSS, SBI and the Triple Crown Series.
