Rinker Wins Mod-U Championship
Team AMSOIL powerboat racer Terry Rinker won his second straight National Modified Unlimited class championship last weekend in Kankakee, Ill., while his brother and teammate, Randy Rinker, earned the third place podium finish.
Mod U qualifying consisted of two 15-lap heats. In the first heat, Terry started from the last position on the start dock, but worked his way to second to gain valuable points toward the final starting grid. In the second heat, Terry started from the pole position and led wire-to-wire, taking the win and earning enough points for the pole position in the final race. In the final, Terry led 11 of the 15 laps en route to winning the championship.
The Rinker brothers also competed in the Champ class at the Kankakee River Valley Regatta. Terry earned the third place podium finish, while Randy started sixth off the dock, but was unable to finish after suffering boat damage due to contact with another boat.

That must be the start of history wins and more achievements under the Amsoil sponsorship.
