We need the best lubricants that can stand up to my hard charging style as I chase several titles this year. I need a product that will keep my motors running cool, efficient and reliable in order to run at the top of the charts. My confidence in Spectro Performance Oils will allow me to concentrate on my riding so I can win more races. James runs Spectro Performance Oils in all of his many motorcycles.

We use Spectro oil exclusively here in our shop because its a great product. But, beyond our affection for the slick motor libation it is great to see a company, any company, step up in our economy and support a racer. That money is harder to come by every day. Good on ya Spectro!
Cool !!
RE:
“… James is the real-deal…… multi-disciplined…”
Enough specialization already.
There was a time when ya had to be able to race on pavement and dirt if ya wanted to be a top rider.
-When ya had a 350 and a 500 barrel for your single racer so ya could run in two classes.
-When Datona had a beech section and a road section.
-When USAC champ cars ran on dirt tracks and at the Brickyard.
Michel Angelo was an artist and an engineer….. a Renaissance man.
Sounds like James it the Renaissance racer.
Let’s face it, when times get tough specialists don’t eat regularly.

Excellent. Best racing anywhere.
my som grew up behind james racing, i have helped his dad phil along the way a few times with their bikes, this is a world caliber rider i have seen him race 80cc on up through the ranks. his drive and class will allow him to reach the pinnacle in any motorsport he decides to pursue…go get em “rocket”
It is very refreshing to see new talent in a sport and business that was dying. Now that there is new blood in both the promoter’s, racers, and AMA management, maybe the American audience will become interested again and support this all american program.
