There are only two races left in the NHRA Pacific Division Lucas Oil Drag Racing
Series and Greg Boutte is in the top ten.
The Super Comp class racer runs a 2002 Worthy Rear Engine Dragster with a 235
inch wheelbase and a 598 cubic inch motor. At Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield,
California Boutte defeated Alexis Dejoria.

“There is a lot of pressure to win,” said Boutte. “It’s so hard to get to
the final round, let alone win a race. I was a runner-up at Fallon and in
Fontana last year, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to win this year. I
pushed the envelope.”
At Bakersfield, Boutte started around 9:30 a.m. with the KD Canopy shoot out.
“The race within a race takes the top 4 qualifiers of the first two top time
trials and puts them on a true race ladder of the top four,” he said. “I won the
KD Canopy shoot out then moved on to 7 more rounds of racing. The final round
ended at 10:21 p.m.”

Boutte races against other drivers, the clock and himself. In each
category, the NHRA has time indexes based on horsepower and weight of the car.
Racers have to get as close to the index as possible without getting there too
fast. “I stay in my motor home between races,” said the Stockton, California
racer. “I keep an eye on the classes that are running ahead of me to watch and
see the trend. At sea level, our class index is 8.9 and I have to stay focused.
It’s also important to hydrate and eat well. Racers are athletes and I try to
stay in good shape by working out a couple of times a week.”
Boutte has competed in Super Comp for 15 years and competes in about 20 races a
year, beginning at Pomona, California in February and ending at Pomona in
November. Boutte also won the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division 7 in
Super Comp at Southwestern International Raceway in Arizona in 2003.
“I use K&N Engineering Air and Oil Filters,” said Boutte. “K&N makes excellent
products. The dirt stays out of my engines and air flow is consistent going into
the carburetor. K&N gives me an edge.”

The Mercury Milan is the corporate twin to Ford's Fusion and shares
architecture, drive train configuration and safety technology. Both ride on a
stretched widened version of the highly acclaimed Mazda 6 platform, providing
good handling from the four-wheel independent suspension and rack and pinion
system.
K&N Engineering has designed a filter (33-2357) to fit in the factory air box of
the 2006 to 2009 Mercury Milan and Ford Fusion with a 2.3L engine, 2010 to 2011 Mercury Milan with a 2.5L engine, and 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion 2.5L engine models. The drop-in
design means adding performance is easy. Simply remove the disposable air filter
in the Milan or Fusion and replace it with the K&N Air Filter.
Replacement Air Filter for Mercury Milan and Ford Fusion
Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design
consisting of an oiled cotton fabric between two layers of epoxy-coated aluminum
screen. The filters capture airborne dirt particles and allow high volume air
flow. These particles then cling to the outside of the filter and become part of
the filtering media.
The washable, reusable, high flow flat panel filter is designed to increase
horsepower and acceleration, while providing excellent filtration. The (33-2357)
is 1.063 inches in height (27mm) with an outside length of 10.438 inches (265mm)
and an outside width of 6.25 inches (159mm).
K&N invented the concept of washable, reusable filters more than 35 years ago.
Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design comprised
of an oiled cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of epoxy-coated aluminum
screen. The filters capture airborne dirt particles while allowing high volume
air flow. These particles then cling to the outside of the filter and become
part of the filtering media.
K&N's stock replacement air filters for street vehicles are covered by our
famous K&N Million-Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your
vehicle will ever need.
The Twin Cam Harley-Davidson engine was the first engine change for Harley in
more than a decade. It boasts 88 cubic inches, dual cams, O-ring based gaskets.
Twist the throttle and there is a difference, the bike passes instant power with
a twist of the wrist.
K&N Engineering developed a RK-Series Air Filter Assembly (RK-3909-1)
built around the legendary K&N High-Flow Air Filter. The latest addition is
designed to get more horsepower and retain the stock appearance for
1999 to 2012 Twin Cam Harley-Davidson engines.
Custom Air Cleaner Assembly for Harley Davidson Motorcycles
"The custom assembly
(RK-3909-1)
keeps the factory appearance by using the stock air cleaner cover," said K&N
Powersports Application Coordinator Lisa Watson. "There is superior filtration
and performance with a K&N stamped laser-etched beauty ring."
The new RK- Series Assembly has a powder coated billet aluminum backplate that
eliminates external breathers and features a built-in, dyno-tuned velocity
stack. The result is a significant airflow increase to the engine without
sacrificing filtration.
At this time the RK- Series Air Filter Assembly (RK-3909-1)
does not fit Twin Cam Engines with the Magnetti-Morelli fuel injection system.
"The Magnetti-Morelli systems have an oval port," said Watson. "This K&N kit
fits a round port."
As with all K&N Motorcycle High-Flow Air Filters, the RK-Series Air Filters can be cleaned,
re-used and is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

Fletcher’s final round win in the $2.6 million NHRA POWERade Series was
his fifth NHRA National Event win. “I drag race for a living, almost every
weekend,” he said. “It’s been a good year.” The race is the 18th of 23 events in
the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series.
Fletcher has raced full time since 1997 and spends weeks on the road. “I drive
to the races from about the middle of February until the middle of November,”
said the 40 times National Event winner. “The hardest part is being away from my
family, but it’s better than having a day job.”

products my engines outlast and outperform other cars.”

through 17th.

Team Babbitt’s Enxus Oil Kawasaki is gearing up for another season of BooKoo
Arenacross.
Josh Demuth BooKoo Arenacross Champ
In February, Josh Demuth won the BooKoo Championship Title in the 2006 BooKoo
Arenacross Championship Series presented by K&N Engineering. Demuth withstood a
full season of ups and downs to take home the 250, 450 and overall championship
titles for Team Babbitt. The day after the final race, Demuth announced he was
retiring from racing.
One month later, the 27-year-old came out of retirement and secured a deal with
AMA supercross for the BooKoo Honda team.
“We’re sorry to see Josh go, but we’re happy for him,” said Team Babbitt’s Enxus
Oil Kawasaki Manger Denny Bartz. “If Josh was coming back it would make things a
lot easier, but our team has another shot at back to back championships.”
Team Babbitt uses K&N Engineering products during the competition. “We dyno
tested K&N Air Filter (KA-2506XD),
said Bartz. “The result was one horsepower gain. That is a huge amount in
arenacross racing.”
