I don't know who Ed is, but your post is 100% right. What a tool.

This explains the reset they call covid, completely. Oil is no longer the capable backer of the worlds currency.

The race is to AI / technology - microchip logic.

Sponsorship's are tax shelters.

Mike I agree on being tax shelters and ways to burn cash and deduct it because you enjoy it as part of your corporate entertainment/advertising.
It will be difficult to get sponsors with the extremely poor TV ratings and races that seem to be a clone of the last race.
I am sure advertising money will be tighter and the people who want the sponsor money will have to have a great "cost per thousand views". Will be interesting if only 8 fuel cars show up to kick off 2021 in Gainesville.

TV is hardly the only or top reason sponsor a team

Multi-year multi-million dollar sponsorship are just that, tax shelters, indeed. Amalie made it quite clear why they and McMillian mutually decided it was the end of the road for now. I thought McMillian showed a lot loyalty to Amalie as they've showed him during the good times.

Now at the local level you might get a little help here and there as I did with tires, parts WD pricing, racer discounts etc etc, I think situations like that you get help because you've shown promise and people from time to time give you a little help, just because they want to and not as a business decision.

Obviously McMillian is a class act and completely showed his appreciation for their sponsorship, by being onboard with the position Amalie are in, and the decision to pull the plug.

Terry who?

Further, they’re wasting their $. I’ve been racing for 3 decades and I don’t know one racer nor engine builder that uses Amalie oil.

I use it.

Ed is a total ******* and should be blocked fro this site. He spouts nonsense and hate with no back up.

If you know your oil then you know who they use for base stocks. Amalie has great oil. They blend oil for a number of big names.

Once again, Ed proves he is a idiot

So Racers may be using Amalie oil and not know it.

Could be. I know they blend for Carquest, Walmart and others. I am fortunate enough to have friends in blending of fuels and oils. Very interesting !
Wolfs Head is another brand they sell..

We did have a conversation with Charlie regarding a West Cost Amalie distributor but it did not work out.

Ain’t nobody using that junk oil.

Again terry who?

I have been using Wolf's Head in customer cars for almost 20 years now.....

Bender, against Ed advice? How could you!

Yea like any serious bracket or class racer is using car quest, Walmart and wolfs head oil in their engines.

Ain’t nobody using that junk oil.

Again terry who?

What is your point, Ed? Obviously you don't follow professional drag racing so why are you continuing to trash McMillan?
