Oberg Motorsports Begins Sophomore CORR Season in PRO-2
Eagle River, WI (April 17, 2008) - Oberg Motorsports is ready for the
upcoming 2008 Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) season. Mike Oberg
and Crew Chief/Chief Mechanic Cory Lambert, have been putting in long
hours at the shop in Eagle River, getting the #80 PRO-2 ready to do
battle. ?We?re starting the season with the same chassis that Keith
Stamper built new two seasons ago.? says Mike Oberg team owner/driver.
?Within the next couple of weeks we hope to have a brand new
Stamper-built PRO-2 ready as a back-up. We are going after nothing
other than a PRO-2 Championship and we are going to be prepared for
anything they can throw at us.?
The Oberg Team has competed in PRO-2/PRO-2WD (CORR/WSORR) for the last
two seasons and has come in second both times. In the first shot at
that PRO-2 Championship, Mike was named PRO Rookie of the Year, the
World Champion at Crandon, and won the inaugural running of the ?Jason
Baldwin Memorial Cup.?
?This team has what it takes to win the championship and we?ve proven
that time and time again?, says Mark ?Gilly? Gelhausen Team Manager
and Promotional Director, ?We?ve just got to find that little extra
edge to push us over the top.?
That edge we are looking for is having great people and companies
standing beside us. ?No one can ask for better support than what we
get from our top supporter AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants,? says Oberg.
?They go above and beyond anything we ever could have expected. The
products they make are phenomenal.? Oberg Motorsports has proven the
durability of the AMSOIL products. When other teams have fallen out
due to motor problems, the Oberg team has never lost a motor. In fact,
the entire 2007 season was completed using only one motor and it was
never even freshened.
?The guys at Pro Power were astonished at how well that motor held up.
They are now telling other teams to use AMSOIL,? says Oberg. ?Heck
Roger Harrison of J&H Transmission, has told us over and over to never
use anything other than that AMSOIL in the tranny?. AMSOIL has also
been named the ?Official Oil of CORR?.
The team also receives great support from Kumho Tires. Oberg
Motorsports has been competing on Kumho Tires since the 2002 season.
?Ed Cercek and his guys are on site each weekend,? states Oberg. ?You
can?t ask for a better group to work with. We have worked with other
tire companies over the years but not one compares to Kumho.? Kumho
came into this sport strong and has won many races and championships.
The Oberg Motorsports uses Kumho Tires on all of its vehicles and is
pleased with the performance and durability.
Also new for 2008 is a newly revamped AMSOILl/Kumho Super Team. The
two-member team consisting of Oberg and Douglas Motorsports, is going
to start the season with a new color scheme. ?This is a new beginning
for the teams, so a complete makeover has been done on the trucks. The
transporter will be leaving the shop today sporting new paint and
graphics as well. Working with Scott and Jackie Douglas of Douglas
Motorsports, has been great all around and it?s easy being teammates
when we?re friends off the track as well,? says Gilly. ?The
AMSOIL/Kumho Super Team is getting stronger.?
The CORR season begins on April 26 at the LA County Fairplex in Pomona CA.
Other Team supporters are MSD Ignition, Mastercraft Seats, Peterson
Fluid Systems, Pro Power Race Engines, J&H Transmission, Raceline Oil
Pumps, Boatec, Hawk Performance, Stewart/Warner Gauges, FOX Racing
Shocks and Precision Gear.
