EAGLE RIVER, WI -- The 2007 season is just about upon us and Oberg Motorsports is looking forward to a great season on the WSORR (World Series of Off-Road Racing) circuit. Opening weekend is set for May 19 & 20 at the Steele County Fairgrounds in Owatonna, Minnesota. This is the first time an off-road race is being held at this venue and we’re all excited about it. They promise a great track and an equally great facility.
The Oberg PRO 2WD is being assembled and nearing completion. The Amsoil/Kumho Chevrolet will be in top form when it hits the track. We’ll still be using the American Racing Wheels to hold those Kumho Tires. The rear axle will be filled with Precision Gears. We will again be powered by Pro Power horsepower, with the help of an MSD Ignition, and that will be put to the ground through a J&H Transmission. All of these components will be lubricated with those world famous AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants. The engine oil will be provided through a tank built by Peterson Fluid Systems and pumped by a Raceline Oil Pump through an Oberg Filter. For braking we will be using pads specially designed for us by Hawk Performance.
Mike will be provided a safe and comfortable ride with the help of Mastercraft Seats and FOX Racing Shocks. He will be monitoring all aspects of the trucks performance through the use of Stewart Warner Gauges which have become a new supporter for the 2007 season.
We are also welcoming back a company that had supported us for a number of years. That company is Lund International maker of accessories for your Pick-up and Sport Utility. Lund had joined us back in the late 90’s and was with us up until the 2006 season. The company has now relocated from Anoka, MN, to Suwanee, GA. After all, the majority of people watching and attending Off-Road Races are Truck and SUV owners. So now we get to show Peter and the rest of his staff what Off-Road Racing is in the World Series of Off-Road Racing.
We are confident that the Amsoil/Kumho Chevrolet of Oberg Racing will be much faster this season. We have purchased a new aluminum block engine and had the engine from last season freshened up. Each of these engines are said to be putting out between 800 and 900 HP. They will be picked up next week. Transmissions just arrived yesterday from Garden City, MI. If we can get all that horsepower to the ground, Mike will be unstoppable in his race for the WSORR PRO 2WD Championship, and in defending his PRO 2WD World Championship and Jason Baldwin Cup titles.
