"Yeah, that's the tricky part" Michael Swift of Team UXC Racing explained when asked about passing a competitor on a 9 to 12 mile wooded off-road race course barely wide one enough for one ATV.

"Michael Swift attacks the trail on his Polaris UTV with Kevin Trantham close on his heels"

What's no trick, though, is the rise to prominence of the Polaris-mounted Team UXC Racing to the top rungs of the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series. We asked Michael how he's managed to generate such dominating performances with a relatively new team, which we'll share with you in a moment, but first a little background on Michael and the team.

In 2004 he ran a few events on his own stock 4x4 and was hooked. For 2005, Michael partnered with his brother-in-law Chris Beasley and ran the entire series. His talent and dedication were rewarded with his first factory ride in 2006, and he's been a factory rider every year since. Chris retired in 2012 and Michael was on his own.

While having ridden for other manufacturers in those intervening years, Michael refers to switching to Polaris in 2014 as a "game changer for me and our team." Michael was the only rider in the field on a Polaris, and Polaris had no previous experience, Michael still pulled down a win and finished fourth in the Pro 4x4 Championship.

"Michael Swift #202 and Kevin Trantham #209 celebrate a 1-2 win after the Wild Boar GNCC Race"

More than anything, Michael learned from his 2014 experiences what he needed to do for 2015. He brought over Kevin Trantham, who'd finished second in 2014 for another team. In Kevin he found a teammate who was a true partner, someone dedicated to the same goals as Michael. "The Friday before the race Kevin and I walk the entire track and discuss how to drive it," Michael said. Further, Michael says there's a constant flow of information between Kevin and himself about how to set up their Polaris 4x4s.

The result was a dominating performance for Team UXC Racing and Polaris, which two years earlier wasn't even involved in the sport. Polaris won 10 out of 13 events, giving them the manufacturer's championship, though neither rider won their championship due to splitting wins. Michael was philosophical about the situation. "When you're a team you have to understand your goal is deliver a championship."

For 2016, Team UXC has grown considerably. Michael Swift and Kevin Trantham have returned to the GNCC's Pro 4×4 class and have showcased the Polaris Scrambler XP 1000's full capabilities with two wins. The pair will also be piloting a new Polaris 1000S Razor in the Pro UTV class.

In addition, Graham Widdicombe from the United Kingdom will return to the team with an all-new Polaris Scrambler 850 in the GNCC 4×4 40+ class, Nic Snyckers from Toronto will also pilot a Scrambler 850 EPS in the GNCC 4×4 C Class. Plus the newest addition to the UXC team is Jeff Wright from Phoenix, who will compete at 13 GNCC rounds this season in the 4×4 A/B class. A pair of Polaris ACE 900 SPs will be piloted by Tory Rush of Gillette, WY, and Becky Widdicombe from the UK.

Now, Michael Swift's secrets to his success, going from a one rider team on a 4x4 no one was racing, to wining the championship for Polaris, to expanding his operation to five riders AND winning the first two races of the season. Here goes:

1. "Having a good team and I just don't mean just at the races, but family and friends at home. It's so important for them to support what we're doing (BTW, after tucking in duties, Michael goes out to the shop and works every night until midnight or 1 am – that's dedication).
2. "Constant experience on just a 4x4. Some guys jump around from a bike to a 4x4 and back but I think my focus has helped me a lot."
3. "Teamwork. Kevin and I are always sharing information, testing new parts and set-ups."
4. "Having a personal trainer who is a racer. I use Marc Pataro of MotoPro Training in MD and I do his fitness program every day."
5. "We don't take sponsorship from just any company or have companies bid for sponsorships. We decide on what parts we want and if we can't get the parts through sponsorship then we buy then. We don't want any second-rate components on our 4x4s."

"I am excited about our team's 2016 season as we have worked hard the past two years developing our Polaris Scramblers and spent this past off season testing and training to fine tune our products and riding," said Michael. "I want to thank K&N Filters and all our sponsors for the great products they provide and the amazing support."

Not only do we expect to see Michael and Kevin at the front of the field for many years to come, Michael's 11 year old son is currently racing in a youth class and will no doubt be moving up to race with his father in just a few years time.

K&N Air Intake System 69-2027TS for the BMW 335i

Since anyone can remember, the BMW 3-Series has been "the one to beat". Every time a new compact sport sedan/coupe debuts, it's immediately measured against the perfectly balanced 3-Series yardstick. The engineers at Bayerische Motoren Werke have a secret recipe for performance, and they cooked up a special batch just for the F30/F31 2012-2015 BMW 335i. This little Bavarian Barnstormer was the most extreme non-M 3-Series that you could get, and that meant it was both a powerful canyon carver and a luxury car. To make this possible, those madmen in Munich gave it a 3-liter straight-6 with direct injection, variable valve lift control, and a great big twin-scroll turbo to deliver thrust throughout the rev-range. All of that results in 300-hp and 300 lb-ft, which is enough to launch you to 60 mph in the low 5-second range. Adding an estimated 8-hp and 8 lb-ft will certainly improve performance, and that's just what the K&N Performance Air Intake System was designed to do.

The secret to your Bimmer's performance is that twin-scroll turbo, which uses the engine's exhaust to spin an air compressor to force a huge amount of air into the (relatively) tiny cylinders. The direct injection system then sprays in a fine mist of fuel, and the whole mixture is compressed as the piston travels upward. Once the spark plug ignites this fuel/air cocktail, all of that pressurized air contributes to a massive explosion that forces the piston back down to turn the crankshaft and send power to the wheels.

BMW 335i Engine Bay with K&N Air Intake

The gasoline explosion that caused all of that movement is where horsepower actually comes from, and you can increase it by simply forcing colder air into the cylinders. The BMW N55 engine has an intercooler to reduce the incoming air temperature. However, the factory BMW F30 intake collects air through an opening in the airbox, then forces it through a thick paper air filter and down a narrow plastic intake tube. By the time that air reaches the turbo, it's already heated up because of the restrictions and turbulence that it encountered along the way. To reduce these airflow restrictions, the K&N 69-2027TS Performance Air Intake System uses a high-flow cotton gauze air filter that is able to collect and clean larger volumes of air. As dirt particles flow through the filter pleats, they become ensnared by the sticky cotton fibers. The special oil treatment in the filter will eventually soak into the dirt, causing it to become sticky and capture other dirt particles as if were part of the filter. This unique capability helped to put K&N air filters on the map, and it's the reason they're able to capture the vast majority of airborne contaminants before they reach the engine.

To reduce the amount of hot engine bay air from entering the system, that reusable K&N performance air filter is positioned in place of the factory airbox, behind a heat shield that uses a thick rubber gasket to seal itself against the hood. This allows the air filter to collect a steady supply of cooler air from behind the bumper. The air is then cleaned and sent into a large diameter aluminum intake tube, where it flows through wide, mandrel-bent curves. When the air does finally reach that 'twin power' turbo, the temperature is lower and the oxygen/horsepower content is much higher. The intercooler can then create a colder charge to send to the motor, which enables it to make more power without making any programming or under-hood modifications. The intake tube also has built-in fittings for all of the factory sensors, so you'll be able to install the K&N 69-2027TS Air Intake in about 90 minutes, using just a few hand tools.

With a K&N 69-2027TS Typhoon Air Intake installed on a 2012 BMW 335i 3.0L, testing on a chassis dynamometer showed an estimated gain of 8.27 horsepower and 8.49 lb-ft of torque.

As gasoline prices steadily snuck up toward $4 per gallon in the United States, auto manufacturers unleashed their engineering departments to create more fuel-efficient engines and powertrains. Gasoline-electric hybrid technology took root across many market segments, but the cars were pricey and owners would take years to realize any return on investment. While buyers sought the fuel sippers, they bemoaned their lack of performance (those batteries are heavy; those continuously variable transmissions are sluggish). The midsize luxury scene was an especially narrow niche with little to choose from until the arrival of the Infiniti M35h in 2012. The car was re-named Q70 in 2014, and approximately 26,000 were sold in the United States between 2012 and 2015.

Infiniti M35h and Q70 Air Filter 33-5033

Nissan's fourth-generation Infiniti M, the M35h, suggested the idea of a "luxury performance hybrid" with some unique engineering, excellent fuel efficiency, a serene interior and some very impressive acceleration and braking numbers.

It introduced a parallel hybrid system with two clutches, one electric motor and no torque converter that allows the car to run on electric power at higher speeds at greater fuel efficiency: up to 27mpg city/32mpg highway. The transmission was a seven-speed automatic with four modes: Normal, Sport, Snow or Eco. Paired with a chassis that is stiffer than what is usually designed for a luxury sedan, the result was a terrific performer with excellent handling.

Then there is this little factoid: the Infiniti M35h set a 2011 Guinness world record for fastest acceleration by a production hybrid vehicle. It reached speeds of 100mph in 13.896 seconds on a quarter-mile drag strip in the United Kingdom. No wonder automotive journalists of the time were wowed when they put the M into Sport mode and stomped the accelerator.

K&N Air Filter 33-5033

Standard among all trim levels from its debut were keyless ignition/entry, leather upholstery, heated power seats, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a rearview camera, Bluetooth and an iPod interface. Attractively priced between the Panamera S E-hybrid and the Lexus GS 350, owners appreciated their value and are keeping them on the road.

Part of keeping the M35h and Q70 in top performing mode is to maintain or increase their horsepower with a healthy airflow system, governed by a clean engine air filter. The cars are contributing to a healthier global atmosphere with fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption, so they deserve careful attention to detail. K&N can support this effort with the 33-5033 Replacement Air Filter, designed and engineered to drop into the Mh and Q stock airbox requiring no special tools.

K&N Air Filter 33-5033 Flow Chart

This washable and reusable filter is constructed of four to six layers of oil-treated cotton gauze media sandwiched between two aluminum wire screens in a durable polyurethane frame. The cotton in a K&N air filter allows high volumes of airflow, and when combined with the tackiness of the filter oil, creates an efficient filtering media that ensures engine protection.

K&N 33-5033 can go up to 50,000 miles between servicing, depending on driving conditions. The K&N 10-Year/Million-Mile Limited Warranty sets the Infiniti M35h and Q70 up for years to come - it could well be the last air filter they will ever need.

An investment in a greener future was made with the purchase of these luxury performance hybrids, they can fulfill their destiny with a lifetime air filter from K&N.

Think about how quickly your windshield gets dirty, whether your vehicle is parked or being driven. All the dirt, dust, pollen, spores accumulate quicker than you can drive away from the car wash exit. While all those particles are a nuisance on the outside of your vehicle, they can literally be a health hazard on the inside of your vehicle. Should you or a passenger suffer from a temporary or permanent respiratory ailment, these spores and mold can make life miserable. The solution most car companies have settled upon is a Cabin Air Filter that helps trap foreign particles in the incoming air.

K&N Cabin Air Filter VF2007

Starting back in 2001, Hyundai started outfitting one of its cars with a Cabin Air Filter and increasingly over the years have added it to many models. K&N replacement Cabin Air Filter VF2007 fits many Hyundai models including the 2004 - 2016 Tucson, 2010 - 2016 Genesis Coupe, and the 2013 - 2016 Veloster, as well as Kia models like the 2005 - 2016 Rio and the 2005 - 2016 Sportage.

But to be effective, the filter is an item that requires maintenance. Not replacing your Cabin Air Filter per the manufacturer’s recommended intervals is like being on an airliner with all the fresh air vents closed. You will find the recommended replacement interval in your factory owner’s manual, but there are some conditions that you may want to consider replacing your filter sooner.

If you drive in a dusty area or through the desert, you might find that these particulates have collected on your filter and have reduced air flow through your HVAC system. If you live in a damp climate you might notice persistent bad odors that come from bacteria or mold growing on the filter in your vehicle.

Cabin Air Filters have a difficult job, so why not replace your OEM filter (typically made from paper) with a high-quality K&N filter. K&N Cabin Air Filters are the first of their kind designed to replace your vehicle's stock cabin air filter with a washable and reusable upgrade that cleans and freshens incoming air. K&N Cabin Air Filters are electrostatically charged to grab and hold dust and other airborne particles. They also help control odors while they help capture most mold, mildew, fungus, spores, bacteria, and germs.

Made of a unique non-woven synthetic material, K&N Cabin Air Filters are an easy replacement upgrade for your vehicle's Cabin Air Filter. Replacing the Cabin Air Filter is a straightforward task - it is as simple as swapping the old, dirty filter for a new one. The housing for the filter can typically be found behind the glove box, under the hood or underneath the dashboard. In most cases it can be replaced without tools (though some vehicles require basic hand tools to access the Cabin Air Filter compartment). To make the process easier for you, detailed installation instruction sheets, and often videos, are provided on the specific product web page for the filter that matches your vehicle.

K&N Cabin Air Filters are manufactured to fit your vehicle perfectly and seal tightly, thanks to the precision-engineered polyurethane frame. In addition, each filter comes pre-treated and is ready to install straight out of the box.

K&N Cabin Air Filter Cleaner 99-6000

The only maintenance required for a K&N Cabin Air Filter is a service you can do yourself in no time at all. At intervals of about 12 months or 12,000 miles, using a K&N Cabin Air Filter Cleaning Kit, you can easily renew and refresh your air filter, which brings it back to virtually new condition and ready to protect your car’s cabin and its inhabitants. Your K&N Cabin Air Filter is designed to last for years of use and is guaranteed by the K&N 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. The K&N Cabin Air Filter Cleaning Kit 99-6000 can be ordered online at the same time as your filter purchase.

How is your car like a commercial airliner? There's a limited amount of air that moves through both and as a result, whatever dust, pollens, and other allergens that have entered the space tend to stick around making it unpleasant at best, and much worse if you suffer from acute or chronic respiratory disorders.

K&N’s Cabin Air Filters pleats are constructed of a unique non-woven synthetic material.

Cabin Air Filters that keep dust and other allergens out of the vehicle's interior had earlier been a feature only on premium imported sedans. But now they've found their way into many more vehicles, including many lower-prices vehicles. For example, if you own a 2006 - 2011 Chevy HHR, 2005 - 2010 Cobalt, or 2007 - 2010 Pontiac G5, your car is fitted with a Cabin Air Filter that can be replaced by a K&N VF2006.

As the cabin filter is your first line of defense for what you breathe - much as your windshield is your first line of defense for what you see (and they both face the same environmental challenges), the filter is an item that requires maintenance. You will find the recommended replacement interval in your factory owner's manual, but there are a number of conditions that could shorten those intervals.

For example, if you drive in an area with sand or dust in the air, you might find that these particulates have collected on your filter and have reduced air flow through your HVAC system. This can lead to getting more noise than actual air even when you turn up the A/C to high! It can also create persistent bad odors that come from bacteria or mold growing on the filter in cars in operated in damp climates.

The K&N Refresher Kit helps remove trapped mold, mildew, fungus, spores, allergens, bacteria, viruses and germs

Let's face it, life is tough for a cabin filter, so why not replace your OEM filter (typically made from paper) with a high-quality K&N filter. K&N Cabin Air Filters are the first of their kind designed to replace your vehicle's stock cabin air filter with a washable and reusable upgrade that cleans and freshens incoming air. K&N Cabin Air Filters are electrostatically charged to grab and hold dust and other airborne particles. They also help control odors while they help capture most mold, mildew, fungus, spores, bacteria, and germs.

Made of a unique non-woven synthetic material, K&N Cabin Air Filters are an easy replacement upgrade for your vehicle's Cabin Air Filter. Replacing the Cabin Air Filter is a quick operation - it is as simple as exchanging the old, dirty filter for a new one. The housing for the filter is commonly located under the hood, beneath the dashboard, or behind the glove box. It can typically be replaced without tools (though some require basic hand tools to open the cabin air filter compartment). Detailed installation instruction sheets and often, even videos are provided on the specific product web page for the filter that matches your vehicle. K&N Cabin Air Filters are designed to fit your car perfectly and seal tightly, thanks to the precision-engineered frame. In addition, each filter comes pre-treated and is ready to install straight out of the box.

The only maintenance required for a K&N Cabin Air Filter is a service you can do yourself in no time at all. At intervals of about 12 months or 12,000 miles, using a K&N Cabin Air Filter Cleaning Kit, you can easily renew and re-oil your air filter, which brings it back to virtually new condition and ready to protect your car's cabin and it's inhabitants. Your K&N Cabin Air Filter is designed to last for years of use and is guaranteed by the K&N 10-Year/100,000 Mile Limited Warranty.

In addition to the vehicles already listed, filter VF2006 also fits 2004-2007 Saturn Ion and 2004-2005 Pontiac Pursuit. You can order the filter simply by clicking on the part number VF2006 as well as order the K&N Cabin Air Filter Cleaning Kit 99-6000.
