Dear Enthusiasts,

The rulemaking process is in addition to, but separate from, the public review and comment period on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) for the park’s winter use plan, which was released for public review and comment in early May. BRC and our partners will be reviewing the plan, and will have suggested comments soon.

Dear Enthusiasts,

Time for another National Legislative Update. As you will read, the news is generally good.

BRC’s Greg Mumm has been spending a lot of time meeting with lawmakers and educating them on various recreation and public lands issues. Even with the big budget debate, there is a lot going on.

I am often asked “why Amsoil does what it does and why is it better than other oils”? A simple answer is…It is all in the base stock it is made from.

Other oils are made from refined crude oil. Crude oil is placed in a Refinery and is processed there. From this process fuel, gasoline, diesel, and kerosene is extracted. Also at the lower level of extraction is oils and lubricants. These lubricants are further processed and is what we use as the lubricants in our equipment. If more heat is applied in this process the lubricants are more evaporated and becomes tar are the tar used in asphalt. What we drive on. This is because the molecular structure of these lubricants are elongated chains of molecules with light ends and easy to agitate and boil off. This process helps build sludge and friction in equipment. Thus reducing efficiency and increasing wear and tear and must be changed often. (more…)
