models
The 33-2956 is designed to boost power and acceleration while providing excellent filtration to protect your engine.

it can provide a lifetime of use. K&N air filters are washable and reusable and
they only need servicing every 50,000 miles depending on road conditions.

"Aaahhhh! Vegas to Reno...what a race...hot, hot, hot - did I mention hot?" Those were the remarks from the off-road racing Kingman, Arizona chiropractor, Dr. Macrae Glass, after scoring yet another first in class. In 2009 Glass won every race in the Best in the Desert's (BITD) five-race "American Off-Road Racing Series" championship. This win comes off back-to-back wins so far in 2010, and has Dr. Glass sitting comfy atop the Class 8000 for open pickups in his K&N sponsored, KC HiLites Ford F-150.

"This race was especially cool because it marked our second Vegas to Reno win in as many years" said Glass. And by cool we can only assume he means hot.
"I drink a lot of water as a normal routine-that helps me withstand hot conditions, and in fact, my body's thermostat may be a little off anyhow, since I don't seem to mind 110, or in this case 130 in the cab."
That comment clearly coming as an understatement in that Glass drove the entire race himself. "Some teams have second and even third drivers," adds Glass, as though dismissing any consideration of such a notion.
KC HiLites Kingpin Michael rode shotgun with Glass for the first 159 miles. "We started fourth in a field of six Class 8 trucks. We got to the front of the pack by mile 95 or so and kept charging."
At mile 159 Glass stopped to refuel and picked up his new navigator, Kevin Davis. "We motored on trouble free to mile 280, where we fueled and Trevor Nieto climbed in to navigate toward the finish," said Glass.
"We had a sizeable cushion at 300 miles and I decided to cruise and save the truck.
We fueled again at 380 and we moved on. The sun set and we lit up the night with our KC Pods! Wow - that's all I can say, because night driving has really changed. We continued on to the finish, with no flats-the entire race on the same four tires. And we were first in class, 28th overall."
We prep the truck in house and I think that has helped our reliability," added Glass. "My team and I really like the long-grueling races - the tougher and hotter and more adverse - the better."
"Great air cleaners from K&N help too! We also have help from many other sponsors." The next race for Dr. Glass and company is the BluWater Desert Challenge, in Parker Arizona, October 15-17.

K&N continues to improve vehicle performance through its continuous production of new air intake systems guaranteed to increase horsepower and acceleration. K&N's
air intake (69-9505T)
for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Audi A4, A4 Cabriolet and A4 Quattro models with a 2.0
liter engine is just another example of K&N's dedication to outstanding performance. The Audi A4 is an entry-level luxury car with elegant styling
and sharp handling. The 2.0 liter engine however, lacks the power one would expect from such a prestigious car.

K&N product developers looked at the restrictive factory intake setup of the
Audi A4 and immediately knew they could achieve more horsepower. "Along with
a body change in 2009, the Audi A4 air box was also relocated," said product
manager Bert Heck. "We had to start from scratch. Our ultimate goal was to
get as much power out of the vehicle as we could without affecting the
drivability of the vehicle. Older A4 model designs made doing this very
difficult."
Development began with the testing of varying intake tube diameters with the mass air sensor installed in both the tube and
in the factory mass air housing. After a series of testing sessions
and design changes K&N engineers came up with a design that met all goals.
"With the limited space and use of the factory mass air housing, little space was left for the air filter," commented Heck. "We had to eliminate the intake tube and design a custom hose to replace it.
This saved space and allowed for a larger K&N air filter." The air
intake's filter, part RF-1047,
is a cone shaped, high-flow air filter that provides excellent filtration,
outstanding engine protection, and less restriction than the factory air
filter.
A custom heat shield was also designed as part of the 69-9505T
intake. It helps to reduce the amount of hot engine compartment air
going into the engine. It also utilizes the factory fresh air inlet to
direct cooler outside air into the air intake.
K&N's comprehensive testing of the
69-9505T
utilized three test vehicles with approximately 100 dyno pulls, road testing and computer monitoring.
The final result showed a power gain of
13.5 horsepower at 4500 rpm with the use of K&N's 69-9505T air intake system.
Installation of the 69-9505T air intake system is easy with K&N's photo illustrated instruction sheet. K&N's 69-9505T air intake system typically installs on 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Audi A4,
A4 Cabriolet and A4 Quattro models with the 2.0 liter engine in 90 minutes
or less with common hand tools.
This K&N air intake comes with washable and reusable air filter that can go
for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving
conditions. K&N air intakes are made to last as they come with a Million Mile Limited Warranty.

Curt Michaels got his first win of the season back in June at Lincoln Speedway.
"The older I get, the faster I was." It's uncertain who first gets credited for that quote, but there' a fair chance it was a retired racer of some ilk. Todd Rittenhouse claims he's retired, about as retired as a team owner can be - Todd's Performance, homed in Norristown, Pennsylvania, is after all his team.
Todd's Performance driver Curt Michaels and his wife Jen enjoying the win at Delaware Speedway.
"Up until last year I was the crew chief on the car but I retired from that position at the end of 2009." The car Rittenhouse alludes to is the is number 5G sprint car that won last weekend at Delaware Speedway in Georgetown, Delaware. Driving the 5G was Curt Michaels.
Rittenhouse was crew chief on the 5G for nearly ten years, starting back in 2001. The car is owned by Bill Gallagher and the new crew chief this year is Sean Michael.
Rittenhouse's son Todd Jr. is quickly becoming a big hit on the local race scene.
"I have been on K&N's sponsorship program for something like six or seven years, and they have given us the products to keep us winning championships, and races with consistent top-five finishes with many different drivers, with Curt being the best of course," adds Rittenhouse.
This was Curt's second win of the year, with the first win coming at the Lincoln Speedway in Hanover, Pennsylvania. "The last championship we won was in 2008 and last year we were fourth in the point standings with URC (United Racing Company)," says Rittenhouse.
Delaware Speedway is located on U.S. Route 113, about 1 mile south of Georgetown. During the course of a season attendance at the track gets boosted many nights by fans streaming in via ferry from New Jersey. The track has been known to rock. After sitting silent for a number of years the speedway was recently reopened in May 2006, much to the delight of fans from at least two states.
"Also coming out of this shop is a car run by my son, Todd Rittenhouse Jr. who is also on the K&N program," says Rittenhouse. "This program is shared with the 5G, and he runs 358 sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway, and 410 sprint cars mainly at Lincoln Speedway. This year he captured a heat and a feature win in the 358 division at Lincoln back in June."
Although Todd is still a relative new-comer he's already establishing quite a fan base with his friendly demeanor and driving flair.
"Up next for us is hopefully winning the URC championship with Curt, and continuing a successful season with the number 23 of Todd Jr.," comments Rittenhouse, adding, "We could not have accomplished this without the great support and products from the people at K&N."
After the feature win at Delaware Speedway the 5G is leading the URC points standings by 31 points.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. and the Monster Energy Falken Tire 2011 Ford Mustang entered Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California for Formula Drift Round 6: Point of Impact. Going into the event, Vaughn was in 1st place overall in the points chase for the Championship, and his goal was to maintain his lead with a podium finish. Not only did he accomplish that goal of keeping his lead, but Vaughn walked away from Sonoma with another win, his second win and fifth podium of the season thus far.

On Saturday, the fans piled into the paddock and filled the stands of Infineon Raceway excited to see all the insane drifting action and cheer on their favorite Formula Drift drivers. After he put down two picture-perfect runs in his battle with Ken Gushi, Vaughn was deemed the winner and would advance into the Sweet Sixteen.
Meeting Vaughn in the top 16 would be Ireland's Dean Kearney. Vaughn led first with an excellent entry and maintained a ton of speed and angle throughout the course. Kearney tried to keep up with the Monster Mustang, but ended up going wide, then straightening up, and just wasn't able to close the gap.

When it was Vaughn's turn to give chase, he followed Dean into the first clipping point and then as Dean slowed down a good amount going into the second clip, Vaughn was forced to tap him with nowhere else to go. Vaughn was awarded the advantage and would be moving on to the Great Eight.

Vaughn was paired with Fredric Aasbo in the top eight; his third time battling this Norwegian drifter this season. Aasbo had taken the win over him at Round 4 in Seattle and Vaughn was determined not to let that happen again. He gave chase first, as Aasbo put down a solid run, but Vaughn was all over him piling on the pressure.
When it was Vaughn's turn to lead, he threw down an amazing run while blazing through the course, and was able to pull a decent gap on Aasbo, giving him a clear advantage. Vaughn was awarded the win and would move on to the Final Four.
Vaughn met fellow K&N drifter and 2009's Formula Drift Champion, Chris Forsberg, in the semi-finals, where they would both stop at nothing to win a spot atop the coveted podium. Forsberg led first with a great run, but wasn't quite able to shake Vaughn from his door throughout the course.
When it was Vaughn's turn to lead, Forsberg attempted to put the same pressure on Vaughn, but ended up going wide and off course after the first turn, ultimately spinning out. Vaughn was awarded the win and would move on to the finals with a guaranteed spot on the podium.
In the finals, Vaughn faced his Drift Alliance teammate, Ryan Tuerck, who he has battled numerous times this season, defeated him every time thus far. Vaughn gave chase first, sticking to Tuerck like glue throughout the course, while maintaining a ton of angle and leaving an insane trail of Falken Tire smoke in his tracks.
When it was Vaughn's turn to lead, he put down one last amazing run of the day, as Tuerck pushed to keep up, but it was just not enough to overcome Vaughn's unbelievable determination and driving. He was deemed the winner of the battle and Round 6 at Infineon Raceway.
"Winning this round makes this dream-season even more unbelievable for me and I don't want to wake up," says Vaughn. "The success I am experiencing on the track is due to multiple variables; most notably our reliable 2011 Ford Mustang and my incredible team that I appreciate more than words can explain. I look forward to carrying this momentum to Irwindale!"
With his 1st place finish at Round 6, Vaughn remains the Championship points leader. He is 58 points ahead of Dai Yoshihara in 2nd place, and 75.5 points ahead of Tanner Foust in 3rd place. This is Vaughn's fifth podium this year out of the six rounds, setting the record for the most podiums in history by a Formula Drift driver going into the final round.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. and the Monster Energy Falken Tire Ford Mustang head to Irwindale Speedway, otherwise known as "The House of Drift", October 8-9 for Formula Drift Round Seven. Vaughn has had three victories at this track, so you can bet he will be aiming for not only another podium finish, but ultimately to claim the 2010 Formula Drift Championship title.
