Terry Rinker Wins 2002 Great Northern River Roar
Powerboat Team Puts AMSOIL On Top Of Standings

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada ~ Terry Rinker broke through with a convincing first win of the PROP Tour season at the Great Northern River Roar. Rinker nearly lapped the field in his Blackhawk/Rinker Boats/AMSOIL Formula One powerboat. With the victory Rinker moves to the top of the overall Formula One standings in the AMSOIL-sponsored PROP Tour.

Rinker has been Mr. Consistency on the PROP Tour in 2002. He has put the familiar canary yellow Team AMSOIL boat near the front all year. Rinker posted fourth and third place finishes in the first two events of the season and was set to break through in Saskatoon. The narrow course and choppy water made racing difficult. Rinker led the Sunday, July 21 feature race from flag to flag. 

Rinker has twice been inducted into the Hall of Champions. He's credited with at least seven speed records. His career includes 17 national titles and nine high points championships. Last season, Rinker missed winning his first Formula One PROP Tour Championship by one point. It was the closest championship in PROP Tour history. Rinker has finished in the top five of the PROP Tour series every year to date.

AMSOIL has a tradition of high performance from the Indianapolis 500 to grassroots dirt track racing. The Team AMSOIL motocross, snocross, and the American Dream monster truck count on AMSOIL synthetics. AMSOIL also proudly sponsors the Dan Vanden Heuval "Flying Dutchman" off-road team and ASCS National Sprint Car Champion Zach Chappell.
