Terry Rinker #10
Terry RinkerLeading the competition to the first turn in the inaugural Formula One event in 1995, Terry Rinker grabbed the attention of his competitors and fans alike. Competing in every Formula One/Champ Boat event to date, Terryhas driven the BLACKHAWK/RINKER Racing #10 to a victory in:

  • Washington, N.C. in 1997
  • Bay City River Roar in 1998
  • Saskatoon, Canada in 2002
  • Bay City River Roar and St. Louis, MO in 2003
  • New Roads, LA, Sault Ste. Marie, MI, and Pittsburgh, PA in 2005
  • 2006 Bay City River Roar, Grand Prix of Cincinnati, Grand Prix of Minneapolis

Ever-consistent finishes have earned the team a finish in the top five in the series point standings each year to date, and the championship in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2008! Terry has also scored ten national championships, and set five records for speed in other classes of powerboat racing.

The BLACKHAWK/RINKER team was formed in 1994, combining the driving efforts of Terry Rinker, with crew chief James Chambers. The Rinker Boat Company and AMSOIL sponsored team will be working toward another championship in the 2009 season, and is certain to be Makin' Waves.

Randy Rinker #41
Randy RinkerI grew up with boating and boat racing in the Rinker family. I raced motocross for 10 years before coming back to boats in 1996. From there I started in the SST60 class. In 1999 I stepped up to the SST120/Formula 2. Consistency in my racing has given me I was the 1996 SST60 series Rookie of the year and I gained numerous overall top 3 finishes in SST60 and SST120 series racing. 2005 was highlighted by a 3rd place finish in the UIM World Championships SST120 class and a 3rd place finish at the APBA OPC National Championships in the SST120 class. My wife Lisa has been at my side during all my boat racing as my crew chief, manager and radio communications. She loves boat racing as much as I do and will always be by my side.

A Letter from Terry Rinker to AMSOIL

Dear AMSOIL,

Thank you very much for the award from AMSOIL. It is nice to know that our representation of AMSOIL is appreciated. Our team takes pride in doing everything we can to represent our sponsors in the most favorable way possible. This is easy with AMSOIL.

The performance of your products speaks for itself. The lubricants, we believe, have played a big part in our team's ability to have zero motor failures in the 2006 season.

I look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.
