You Ramsey, and Ricky Johnson are just a few that know, go the same speed as the multi-time come to mind. Heck we even had a bunch of champ, and maybe, just maybe, have a shot at Team Green riders show up one day for a little passing the young superstar?

Plus, the whole thing is just cool. There’s really a lot of interesting stuff to look at.” Although Williams and Faught created the company, they are not the only ones involved. They approached a bunch of their friends to help out with the project, and that’s what really gave Pole Position Raceway its elite status.” “Jeremy McGrath, Mike Metzger, Steve Hatch, Greg Albertyn, Trevor Vines, Dick Burleson, Jeff Fox (Parts Unlimited), Eric Phipps (Works Connection) and Paul Thede (Race Tech) are all involved with our project,” added Williams. “They have helped us make this a real racing experience.” Most of the races are done on the 1/4-mile long European-style road against the clock.

  • OCTOBER 2008 New Type of Technology
    © AMSOIL INC 2008 OCTOBER 2008 new type of technology. Bobby had never heard of synthetic lubrication, but he gave me a call. To make a long story short, he explained his problem and I sent him some oil that I was convinced would work. That oil had more film strength than any other oil on the market at the time. Well, it did work. Bobby went from repairing his gears after virtually every run to absolutely no maintenance at all. He now made it through all his practice runs, qualifying runs and race day with the same set of gears. Plus, that same rear end made it through the entire next year. Bobby Unser had become a true believer in AMSOIL, and, I might add, somewhat of a lubrication expert himself. He had seen firsthand how a lubricant could, in fact, make a difference in winning or losing. Those who have had the pleasure of meeting Bobby Unser at one of our AMSOIL functions will attest to his commitment to our products. He uses only AMSOIL lubes in his cars, trucks and motor home, and he has a 40-year-old tractor that has had only one oil change many years ago. I keep telling him to change the oil in that thing, but he tells me not to worry. “Al,” he says, “I change the filters regularly, so why throw away good oil? That stuff you make lasts forever.” With dedication like Bobby’s, it’s no wonder we chose him to be our spokesman for the commercials we filmed for our Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) sponsorship.

The motocross whiz kid has been riding -- and falling off of -- motorcycles since he was 4, when his parents bought him his first bike (a Honda Z50). Now 23, the Davidsonville resident wows fans with his daredevil tricks, among them landing the first- ever double back flip at the 12th annual X Games this summer. (Pastrana's recent motocross exploits can be seen during the Jeremy McGrath Invitational, airing today at 4:30 p.m. on NBC.) You know, it's funny, a lot of the stuff that is the most fun to do isn't necessarily the highest scoring or the biggest. For instance, the double flip is 99 percent scary and, like, maybe a half-percent fun. [Laughs.] As opposed to . a rock solid, which is a trick where you fly away from the motorcycle and you just let go -- you watch the motorcycle fly right underneath you, and you fly on top.

We went from a small laundromat-turned- Husqvarna shop with 1 employee to our current multi-building motocross empire in Southern California with over a hundred employees.

No matter what we have faced, we believe the hard work we put into our products and services is all worthwhile when we hear praise from our customers. We have built pipes, tuned suspension and modified engines for legendary riders such as Rick Johnson, Jeff Ward, Damon Bradshaw, Jeremy McGrath, Photo: @EvilCameraGuy Ricky Carmichael, Kevin Windham, James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto and current stars like Eli Tomac, Chad Reed and Cooper Webb.

  • For His Monumental Contributions to the Early Years of Motocross, Dave
    For his monumental contributions to the early years of motocross, Dave McCoy is being honored as the 2015 recipient of the Edison Dye Lifetime Motocross Achievement Award! As its newest inductee, Dave will join the ranks of Roger Decoster, Rick Johnson, Bruce Brown, and others in recognition for his contribution as a pioneer in the sport of motocross. Dave also has the distinction of being the oldest inductee, as he celebrated his 100th birthday on August 31st! Amazing! Back in 1968 Don Rake and some friends decided to put on a motocross in Mammoth Lakes, California. They built a world-class track 8,000 feet up in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Dave McCoy came along and offered the backing of his Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and the rest is history. Every summer racers have flocked to Mammoth Mountain for this classic event. It is the oldest continuous running motocross in the USA. The track has changed a little over the years, but the fun hasn't. Year after year, Dave McCoy was instrumental in the continuing development of the "destination" races at the annual Mammoth MX. Many of the top racers in the world have honed their skills at this event. There have been some epic battles over the years and many racers have made a name for themselves on this track. Little did anyone of present day know that Dave created a fitness training center for dirt-bikers at his ranch in Bishop, CA. He also built a moto track right in his yard, so that everyone could ride there.
