MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 2012 - Gaining product support in the racing world is important and part of Herd Racing's efforts over the past several months has been focused on gaining support from companies and organizations which can help us cut our race weekend expenses.  Those of you in the racing family know the volumes of gear lubes and two-cycle oil mix you can run through in a race weekend, especially when you change your gearcase oils every time the boats come out of the water and when you run two boats every weekend opposed to just one that most teams field.

That makes today's announcement that the E.A. Schaeffer Oil Company of Troy, Ohio has joined our team as an associate sponsor that much enjoyable.  The company's decision to come aboard as a supporter of our program will not only meet our team's product needs, but it will allow us to associate with a longstanding and reputable company and be able to open Schaeffer's opportunities to pursue additional business in the marine environment.

Elmer Schaeffer, owner of E.A. Schaeffer Oil and a 20-plus year distributor of AMSOIL products, will join our team at several race events in 2012 and will serve as a resource for other teams who may need a reliable source to get their own AMSOIL products.

Our team is very happy to announce our newly forged friendship with Shaeffer and his long line of AMSOIL products.  As is our goal with every Herd Racing sponsor, we hope to be able to assist Schaeffer with growing his business to include a new segment of the racing world - boat racing.  So, be watching our website over the next several days as we add a permanent advertisement that will allow you click your way right to E.A. Schaeffer's retail site so you can order your AMSOIL product online.  Welcome aboard Elmer!  I think you will see that Herd Racing will work very hard to continue our relationship for many years to come.
