AMSOIL AND AIR FORCE TEAM WITH WSA

(Maple Grove, MN) – AMSOIL, the industry leader in synthetic lubricants and a partner of the World Snowmobile Association (WSA) since its inception, will return for the fifth consecutive year as a major sponsorship partner of the WSA officials have announced. AMSOIL will also serve as a presenting sponsor at the Ski-Doo Duluth National Snocross Worldwide Championship (SWC) international tour season opener, and at the tour's fourth stop, the Polaris Canterbury Snocross.

"AMSOIL basically started the synthetic lubrication industry in 1972, and they started with us in 1998," said WSA CEO Scott O’Malley. "And they helped pioneer the concept of the independent snocross superteam with their support of the AMSOIL/Schuering Speed Sport team, and both superstar racers Dennis Eckstrom and Justin Tate are back to carry the AMSOIL colors in pursuit of the Pro Stock and Pro Open titles in our Snocross Worldwide Championship. We’re very fortunate to benefit from their successful philosophies as a strategic partner."

AMSOIL formulates a wide selection of synthetic lubricating oils for all types of engine and gear applications, including those for specialized vehicles and for use under severe operating conditions. They also manufacture fuel additives and filtration systems.

WSA officials also proudly announced the United States Air Force would return as a partner for a second year. At the conclusion of last season, the Air Force presented the WSA with the prestigious American Spirit Award. The award, first presented to Bob Hope in 1980, is the highest form of recognition given by the Air Force Recruiting Service, and is presented twice a year to a person or organization who has consistently displayed continual support, patriotism and service to the country.

"The Air Force provides extremely vital personnel, support and services to the WSA," continued O'Malley, "and we’ve been fortunate enough to have established a special relationship with them. We were deeply honored to have received the American Spirit Award, and we’re extremely happy and proud
that they have elected to continue working with us into the future."

WSA will again provide the Air Force with booth space for recruiters as well as circulating printed material during events, and WSA announcers will continue to provide live commercial spots throughout the events, highlighting the many opportunities the Air Force offers. At select National and Regional races, space will again be allocated for the Air Force Experience Simulator vehicle.
