Team AMSOIL Offshore was invited by the American Power Boat Association (APBA) to compete in the offshore heat races conducted in conjunction with the 100th running of the Detroit Gold Cup Unlimited Hydroplane Race. The three day event started with testing on Friday. There were three exciting heat races on Saturday and two final heats on Sunday, in front of thousands of fans.Team AMSOIL put on a great show battling with the other offshore catamarans on the tight 2 ½ mile, pear-shaped course. The tightest turn was in
front of the grandstands and gave the fans a close look at some deck to deck racing. The AMSOIL sponsored boat dominated the field and took first in the Cat Division. At the awards, Team AMSOIL was presented with the perpetual Silver Cup where Bob Teague’s and Paul Whittier’s names will be added to 
the long list of previous recipients.Next stop is the annual Saint Clair Offshore race on August 1-2. This will be a grand event with the merging of the OSS and OPA racing organizations.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
