Teague Takes Win on Lake Havasu

The AMSOIL Offshore Racing Team has returned home from an event-filled “Desert Storm” weekend in Lake Havasu City, Azriz. The city hosted a 4-day affair designed for high performance powerboat enthusiasts, and the attendance rivaled that of any other poker run or boat show that is held from coast to coast.

Saturday’s race was for Pacific Offshore points and Sunday’s race was for the Offshore Super Series national circuit. Extremely windy conditions made for a late start on Saturday due to difficulties with setting the buoys on the course. Once racing was underway, hundreds of floating spectator boats enjoyed the scene from just yards away. Lake Police had some difficulty with keeping excited spectators at bay. Team AMSOIL looked strong and kept a lead on the fleet with little drama in the race except for the collision of V-bottom teams a couple laps into the race.

On Sunday, the Team competed in a fierce battle between and Peppers starting on the first lap. The Cat Lite teams approached the final turn of the first circuit to find the end scene of a collision between a pair of Super Cat 850 boats. AMSOIL drove a hard inside line to avoid the stalled boat, as Peppers pulled wide. AMSOIL had a slight lead on the Peppers boat as they both drove down the next straight-away. As the race continued, AMSOIL increased its lead each lap on Peppers and was able to secure a second straight win.

Next up for Team AMSOIL will be a tentative OPA race in Ocean City, Md. June 6-8 and a secured OSS race in Sunny Isles, Fla. June 20-22.
