March 17, 2011

Earlier this month AMSOIL announced a partnership with Super Chevy Magazine to present the 2011 AMSOIL Super Chevy Best of the Best contest at each of the 12 events. The 2011 season kicks off April 8 at the Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, FL, and is set to draw Chevy enthusiasts from all over the country in the coming months. Events are slated through October as the Super Chevy Shows make their way to different venues across the country featuring racing, swap meets, exhibitions and much more. New details are now available, including the free Revell Make ‘N Take aimed at getting the younger audience involved in building their own street machines. Additionally, the Fifth-Gen Camaro shootout allows 2010 and newer Camaro owners to showcase their performance and compete against similar vehicles in a trophy-only bracket racing class. Also scheduled to appear is the founder of Motion Performance Joel Rosen, who will greet fans and show off the new 2011 Motion Camaro alongside one of the original 1970 Baldwin-Motion Phase III Chevelles. In addition to the AMSOIL Best of the Best contest, these events are all new to the 2011 show season.

For those of you not familiar with the AMSOIL Best of the Best contest, each of the 12 events finds Super Chevy Magazine editors selecting the five best cars in the following categories: Tri-Five, Camaro, Nova, Chevelle and Full Size 1958-up. Once the editors’ five best choices are determined they are posted online for readers to vote for their favorites in each category. These preliminary winners are recognized with an award certificate from Super Chevy and a Preferred Customer membership from AMSOIL. Those that make it to the top from reader votes are crowned Best of the Best in their respective categories, and earn themselves $500 in AMSOIL products to keep their Chevys running peak for years to come. Online tickets are available for purchase, along with a special offer from Super Chevy Magazine exclusively for their subscribers.

AMSOIL Presents Super Chevy Best of the Best 2011

Historically, AMSOIL has always striven to produce the best lubricants on the market. With this kind of attitude, it made sense for AMSOIL to become title sponsor of a competition looking for only the Best of the Best. Just announced, the 2011 AMSOIL Super Chevy Best of the Best is now undergoing final preparations to kick off the Super Chevy Show season in April.

The Super Chevy Shows are a national touring series that just celebrated its 30th anniversary. 2011 promises to be the biggest yet, with 12 stops slated for this year's tour. At each of the 12 events Super Chevy Magazine editors will select the five best cars in each of the following categories: Tri-Five, Camaro, Nova, Chevelle and Full Size 1958-up. Once the editors have chosen the best five, they are posted online for readers to vote for their favorite in each category. These preliminary winners are recognized with an award certificate from Super Chevy and a Preferred Customer membership to buy products wholesale from AMSOIL.

After readers select the first round of their favorites, the 12 winners from each category will be placed on a special web voting page. Readers can vote for their favorite car of the year for each model. At the end of the year the final winners in each category will receive recognition as being the Best of the Best... and will take home $500 in AMSOIL products.

AMSOIL is pleased to lead the movement as the 2011 Super Chevy Tour kicks off and sets out to find the best Chevrolets in the country.
