Patrick P.J. Osmer
got the treat of a lifetime when he spent time with Team AMSOIL supercross
riders Mike LaRocco, Travis Preston and Michael Byrne (photos at right).
Osmer attended the Anaheim 1 supercross event at Edison International
Field, Anaheim, CA on January 4. Osmer is a budding motocross star
himself and has been a big fan of the team, especially hero LaRocco,
for a long time. Osmer uses AMSOIL products in his bike and has kept
AMSOIL up to speed on this progress, development and success for several
years. Osmer plans to ride in competition again soon and someday wants
to race for Team AMSOIL. We'll be watching for you P.J.
Patrick J. Osmer
has been racing since 1995. He was born in 1992.
"My dad
bought me a motorcycle when I was three and a half years old,"
said Patrick. "I had to start with training wheels first."
PJ began racing
with the Fresno Motorcycle Club. He won the Participation with
Skill Improvement award from 1995 to 1997. In 1998 and 1999 Patrick
was the Fresno Motorcycle Club Series Champion in 50cc series stock
class. In 1999 he was also the Chowchilla RS Racing Series Champion
in 50cc class. In 2000 Patrick was Fresno Motorcycle Club Series Champion
in 50cc modified class, Madera RS Racing Series Champion in 50cc modified
and 0-8 65cc class, and he took first place in District 36 at Livermore
Motorcycle Park.
And While PJ
sets out to win every race, there's more to be gained from the experience.
It is fun,"
said Patrick. "I have made a lot of new friends and all of my
family goes to the races."
PJ has also gained
valuable experience talking with other racers like AMSOIL's own motocross
star Mike LaRocco.
"He is a
good racer and he does not give up." said Patrick. "I met
him in Anaheim. He is very nice."
PJ says his favorite
AMSOIL product is the Series 2000 2-Cycle motor oil he uses in both
his bikes. He has always enjoyed riding his 50cc bike but has moved
up to a 65cc bike. With a larger bike, PJ says he can go more places
when he rides with his dad. He also says he is learning a lot more
on his 65cc bike.
Patrick likes to
stay focused on the task at hand. He says his plans include "racing
motocross and dirt track for now."
"I want
to thank AMSOIL for all the support," said PJ. "All the
people who see my bike with the AMSOIL stickers think it looks like
Mike LaRocco's. I feel happy and very lucky that my bike looks like
that. Some of my racing friends have started using AMSOIL Series 2000
2-Cycle Oil. I hope to continue sharing my racing career with AMSOIL."
Patrick's parents,
Pat and Maria, began using AMSOIL Synthetic 2-Cycle 100:1 Pre-mix
Oil in his bike and saw how effective it was. When they saw AMSOIL
Series 2000 Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Oil they switched over immediately.
The oil has done so well for them, that their mechanic, Tom Batista
of B&B Racing, is talking about the quality of AMSOIL two-cycle
oil to all of his customers.
