Bob Teague Opens With Podium Finish

The AMSOIL Offshore Racing Team was the fan’s favorite at the annual Smokin’ the Sound Offshore Race in Biloxi, Miss. There were huge crowds present for the Offshore Super Series season opener as the City built a new dry pit area adjacent to the Isle of Capri Casino which added to the festive atmosphere.

Testing was held on Saturday with the races on Sunday. The race course consists of two long straight-a-ways right in front of the casinos and then an exit at each end into the Gulf of Mexico. Each lap is approximately nine miles long.

When the green flag dropped, it was Team Peppers, Team Propstop, and Team AMSOIL out front battling in heated competition. Team AMSOIL started experiencing steering problems early in the race. In spite of the problems, Bob Teague and Paul Whittier were able to hold on to a solid second place finish, 12 seconds behind Peppers and over a half a lap in front of the third place boat.

Next stop for Team AMSOIL will be at Lake Havasu, Az. for an OSS-POPRA double header on April 26-27. Until then, we'll see you at the races.
