we started building off road race engine that were like VW engines but ended up being a cross of Porsche and VW, then moved to 2 stroke motorcycle engines and then… Along the way we received many national and international titles. Ring flutter, harmonics, magnetic fields, flow, back pressure, hone, break in. There were so many rabbit holes and honey pots full of speed that we found. Now AI is allowing us to go way way further faster with molecular simulations, compatibility testing and molecular bending.
racing has been dominated by crude oil companies as sponsors and they didn’t have a huge incentive to find oil options outside of the hydrocarbon’s they got almost free from the ground. The money in research was 90% focused on crude oil. Think of crude as sticks, plants, single cell life and microbes that all died millions of years ago and were trapped in the dirt deep underground. It is free but it is a miss mash of molecules that they try to straighten out and remove the impurities.
well we throw out all that and start new with newly grown oil. ask yourself do you want five year old olive oil on your bread? then what are you doing putting millions year old oil in your race car? if you select the starting oil correctly you can get the molecules to align really well, similar to what happens when we cryo freeze our most important race parts. most new entrants focus on only one oil as their base but we open it up to multiple oils with longer carbon chains, more viscosity and ability to bond with the add ins we want. we start small in testing with very high rpm models and if it can stand 30,000 rpm then it will likely hold up on 15,000 rpm two strokes and 10,000 rpm bigger engines. dyno testing helps but the harmonics your engine faces are different in the race car on the race track. you may want a different oil for cooler high oxygen days with all those trees around in Bristol Tennessee than you run in Los Angeles with all that smog taking up the space of oxygen molecules.
we don’t force people to run our logo or even show up with our bottles. when building race engines we used to save stickers off old engines that came for a rebuild and then stick them on our best engines. the builder finally got word we were doing that and got upset. our statement was your engine sticker just won the race stop complaining… but really it was our technology winning. there can be hard feelings in racing but what counts the most is the win and the championships. psych games are a part of top level racing, because living in your competitors head can be rent free.
