Racer Testimonials

"I have been using Energy Release products for kart racing in multiple applications. I've noticed significant wear protection on internal engine parts that has increased the amount of races we get before rebuilds. We also treat wheel bearings and chains. These treatments give us noticeable less drag while increasing life expectancy. In my opinion ER is one of the best kept secrets in motorsports."
Brandon Burke #1
Forks Karting Association Champion
"We started running Energy Release in our motors and rear ends. Using ER in the rear end extends the life of the ring gear and pinion significantly. We also mix ER with our front hub grease. We use ER in our Go Kart motors and we bake the bearings and chains in Energy Release which extends the life of both components. We are very impressed by the effectiveness of Energy Release products."
Mark Dobmeier
World of Outlaws
"I have been using Energy Release products in all of my race cars for over 25 years. The reliability of Energy Release helps us to finish races and run up front. Adding Energy Release to our engines helps eliminate oil related failures cause by lubrication breakdown. I recommend using Energy Release to anyone who is serious about cutting engine repair costs and winning races."
Sammy Swindell
3-Time World of Outlaws National Champion
"As far as the motor wear advantages of using ER we noticed were, the cylinder boars seemed smoother and the bearing wear was nil to none after 24 shows. Wesmar would send me back all the used bearings and valve sprints/retainers on refreshes. We also mixed ER in our rear end lube and noticed reduced ring and pinion wear and quick change life about doubled on our small track gears."
Jeff Leebrick, Outlaw Sprint Car Owner
River Cities Speedway Hall of Famer
"ER on the dyno has outperformed anything we've ever used. Once we put ER in we have not seen any pitting of any ring gears, the gears look like they have never been used. I don't know how they made it or come up with it but somebody did their homework. I'm amazed."
Donny Schatz #15
10-Time World of Outlaws Champion
"I stated using Energy Release products back in the day when I worked with Tyler Walker. We use ER in the engine and our rear ends. We get more life out of the ring gear and pinion. We also experience less wear in our engines."
Barry Jackson, World of Outlaws Crew Chief
CJB Motorsports
"We use ER in the rear ends, engine and steering gear. Our rear end rebuild man has said, "What ever you're using, keep using it because the ring and pinion have been lasting longer." I would recommend Energy Release to racers that want to cut repair costs."
Wade Nygaard #9N
Nygaard Motorsports (3-19-17)
"We have been using Energy Release products in all of our racing applications for over 25 years."
Jeremy Houle

"Our engine builder continues to be impressed with the lack of normal engine wear components such as bearing, timing chains/gears and piston wear. Our engine builder has recommended that we plan for engine freshens at 40 nights instead of the usual 30 nights."
Joey Pederson #7P
Pederson Racing
"In March 1993 at the World of Outlaws race in Houston, Texas, our sprint car motor blew a water hose on lap 19 of a 40-lap feature. Thanks to Energy Release, we suffered no bearing trouble or oil-related problems at all. We have been using Energy Release ever since with the greatest of confidence."
Danny Lasoski
World of Outlaws Champion
"I ran Energy Release in my rear end and seen a big difference in temperature and gear shavings between oil changes, very good positive results in that. I also ran ER in the engine oil and seen some oil temp and water temp drop. As far as the cutting and tapping, I will be needing some more. Worked very well! All and all I like the products."
Matt Schow 2s
Midwest Modified Racer
"The Energy Release product line is outstanding. We have had a lot of success ever since we started using their products. A big thing that they do is make our components last longer. By applying their product and servicing it regularly we vary rarely have to replace bearings, chains and even motor wear is less than normal. With that said, you could only imagine the amount of money these products save us. It is a decent amount, that allows us to spend that extra money we have on other products."

John Shoemaker
Winner of NHRA Winter Nationals
On blown alcohol engines using screw type blowers, rod bearings have been known to be a weak link; sometimes requiring a re- placement every run. Since using Energy Release, we have virtually eliminated the problem. We were also experiencing burning of the clutch discs in our planetary transmission. Using Energy Release, we have been able to run clutch pack sets through their entire thickness specification range without premature failure.”

“Energy Release has done quite a bit for us. Where we see a lot of improvement is in the valve springs. ER has reduced the operating temperature of the valve springs between rebuilds. We used to change springs 2 and 3 times between rebuilds, now we don't see springs back until it’s time to rebuild the engines.”

Powersports Testimonials

"The use of Energy Release (ER) products helped out our race team in many ways. The use of ER products has helped with performance and significantly reduced the wear of our driveline on our race sleds. Because of extreme heat and abuse, our chains and gears in our Cross-Country and Ice Racing sleds had a high failure rate, since we stared mixing ER with our chain lube, our problems have been essentially eliminated."
Gabe Bunke

“We usually have to discard our sprockets and chains after 50 miles of racing, but with ER they are still in place after an entire season. I would recommend ER to anyone and everyone.”
Troy Pierce
“Since we began using ER in our chain case and bearings, we have not had one bearing failure. Our chain and gears last twice as long as they used to.” “Our race engines run more efficiently and the engine components last longer when we use ER. ER works.”
Chris Vincent
“Since we began using Energy Release we have gained in many aspects. Our engine durability is much better, we have not had any bearing failures and our chain cases have been bulletproof.”
Todd Wolff
“I benefit from using Energy Release because it makes all my parts run more freely including my engine, chain case, bearings and suspension. That little bit on an edge goes a long way.”
Nicole Nicholas
“ER has done a lot of stuff for me. ER is a product that basically helps your snowmobile go faster. I use ER in my motor, chain case, and bearings. ER is a good product, I use it everywhere on my race sleds.”
Mike Houle
“I have been using Energy Release products in my race sled for five years. I use Energy Release in my chain case and my engine. I like the increase in horsepower and my chain case stays much cleaner. My chains don’t stretch or break like they did before I started using Energy Release. I also use the Energy Release brake parts cleaner, degreaser, penetrating lube and hand cleaner. All of these products work great.”
Aaron Scheele
“I use Energy Release in my chain case. My chain cases run cooler and it stays much leaner. I also use Energy Release in my engine, which shows less wear on the internal components. Energy Release products are used in all of my racing applications an my personal vehicles.”
Kurtis Crapo
“I applied ER in four areas of my race sleds: engine, chain case, and wheel bearings. When I took the engine apart, I noticed that the pistons and rings looked like new. The case bearings looked the same way. I also added ER to the chain case on my race sleds. I noticed a lot less grinding in the oil. The chain and gears showed no sign of discoloring form the heat. I am definitely a believer in ER. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about cutting repair costs and winning races.”
Greg Rugland
“My chain case developed a leak about hallway through the 12-hours Enduro snowmobile race a Sault Ste. Marie, MI. When I came in for a pit stop, the chain case had no oil in it. The gears were so hot that th oil and ER mixture we poured back in the chain case began to sizzle. The gears and the chain were not damaged, thanks to ER. We went on to win the race. We receive the same kind of protection when we use ER in our tracing engines.”
Corey Davidson
“Energy Release is a quality engine treatment and metal conditioner that has made a great difference in my racing machines.”

“My husband, who is my mechanic, really believes that using ER in our racing applications saved a lot of wear and tear on my race sled. Using ER made my engine last longer and perform better, While we were racing in Montana, we had the highest compression of all sleds tested in teardown. With the help of ER we were winners.”
Debbie Revering
“We use Energy Release to gain an edge on our competition...it’s working!” “With the help of ER, our team used only two sets of chains and gears the entire season! Great Ration or What!!! Check out our equation: 1 sprocket chain + ER = 1 500 mile cross- country win. 1 sprocket chain + ER = 5 wins & 1 snocross championship.”
