E3 Spark Plugs News

Snowmobile season is underway throughout the northern U.S. Is yours ready? E3 Spark Plugs offers a checklist to make you won’t find yourself stranded on the slopes.

Make sure you've got a new set of E3 snowmobile spark plugs before you head out onto the slopes this season.

First, top off before heading out for each ride. These include gas, oil, coolant and brake fluid. Make sure that you check the engine coolant level only when the engine is cold. This will prevent an inaccurate reading, not to mention the chance of burning your skin or eyes with hot coolant.

Check for proper chassis lubrication several times over the course of the season – at least three times, more if you use your snowmobile daily. Use a high quality, low temperature grease to help prevent premature wear and corrosion on your snowmobile’s steering and suspension components.

Also check for proper operation of your snowmobile’s throttle lever, throttle override system, brake lever, starter rope, engine stop switch, drive belt and track, sliders, skis and carbides.

It’s also recommended that you start each season with new spark plugs. Says one participant in recent snowmobiling online forum: “Find your local retailer that sells E3 spark plugs. They work better than any
other spark plug I have ever used in a snowmobile or auto application.”

We happen to agree. Log on to our website to find the right E3 snowmobile spark plugs for your particular model and enjoy the power and fuel efficiency of our patented DiamondFire technology, designed with the eco-conscious driver in mind.

E3 Spark Plugs will be “livin’ on Tulsa time” next week, as the song lyric goes. We’re co-sponsoring the 25th Anniversary Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals (a.k.a. the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals), held at the Tulsa State Fairgrounds’ Tulsa Expo Raceway January 11-15. Known as the world’s premier indoor dirt track racing extravaganza since 1987, the Chili Bowl Nationals this year features nearly 270 competitor representing 29 states plus New Zealand and Australia.

This year’s event carries some very familiar names. All but two of the 25 drivers who battled it out in the 2010 event’s 50-lap finale are back for another shot at the championship title. Missing from the tracks this year are Kasey Kahne, who is recovering from a recent knee surgery, and Darren Hagen, who is home recovering from injuries he sustained in a late season crash.

The event includes four nights of qualifying races sponsored by Warren CAT, Vacuworx International and River Spirit Casino, culminating in the Lucas Oil Championship and other feature events. Be sure to stop by the trade show, open to the public each day throughout the week (Tuesday-Saturday) and free of charge. More than 100 vendors covering 20,000 square feet will show off a range of racing products, apparel and more. Look for the E3 Spark Plugs booth!

Tickets and pit passes for the Chili Bowl Nationals nightly events are available by calling 918-838-3777. A few tickets may be available at the gate, but the stands fill up quickly and producers expect a bigger-than-ever draw for the 25th anniversary run. So we recommend getting your tickets and pit passes early. Can’t make it to the tracks? Listen to live audio coverage on www.racinboys.com or see the tape-delayed broadcast on Speed TV.

E3 Spark Plugs is proud to be a co-sponsor this year and wishes all the racers the best of luck!

Backed by a five year, 100,000-mile warranty, E3 Spark Plugs, with their side-wire electrode, projects the combustion spark in a way that more quickly ignites the air/fuel mixture thereby creating a significantly faster and larger flame kernel. In effect, this burns more of the available fuel, resulting in increased combustion efficiency for improved power and fuel economy with reduced emissions. They are now available for most automotive and motorsports applications at automotive retail stores nationwide. For more information and complete test results, visit www.e3sparkplugs.com.
