Eric Ruppel CORR Sportsman Stock Race Report - Bark River

For immediate release
July 11, 2006
Chetek, WI

After an expensive weekend in Crandon, Eric Ruppel and his Loose  
Cannon CORR Sportsman Stock race team headed to Bark River without all  
their horses. After breaking a connecting rod during the last round of  
racing in Crandon, the team decided to drop in a true street stock  
engine so they wouldn?t miss the action in the Upper Peninsula of  
Michigan.

? We didn?t have the time or the funds to build a new engine, so we  
are doing what we can to get whatever points a solid finish can  
bring,? commented Eric Ruppel.

Saturday ? Round 5
Ten trucks took the green flag and Eric and his #837 Chetek Off-Road,  
Art Carr Transmission, Phil?s Inc. AMSOIL BFGoodrich Tire Ford-F150  
headed into Turn One looking to finish the race on the lead lap. The  
race was uneventful, as Eric methodically passed a few of his  
competitors and came home on the lead lap, in 5th place at the finish.

Sunday ? Round 6
Eric was looking for a repeat performance of Saturday?s race. Again  
Eric stayed clear of any trouble entering Turn One, and took off with  
the same game plan. Again Eric stayed on the lead lap and finished in  
6th place.

?When we came to the track, everybody didn?t believe that I just  
dropped an engine in from a truck off the street. Heck, after Saturday  
the motor burned up three quarts of oil in each 15-minute race.  
Running AMSOIL products in the engine saved us from losing this  
engine. Now we have some time to get our new motor put together before  
we come back here for round 7 & 8, ? ? Eric Ruppel.

Currently Eric Ruppel is in 6th place in the 2006 CORR Sportsman Stock  
Championship.
