This is Raftery's third win at Jeg's Cajun SportsNationals and his first Top Dragster victory
Lake Charles, Louisiana resident Keith Raftery had little problem winning Top Dragster at No Problem Raceway Park in Belle Rose, Louisiana.
With K&N's support Raftery feels there are many more wins to come
"I feel very fortunate to have won the 2010 Jegs Cajun SportsNationals," says Raftery. "Some of the best racers from all over the country come to No Problem to get a shot at the coveted Wally."
Raftery knows what it feels like to win here, he's accomplished it twice before, in 2005 and 2008, driving his Jerry Bickel Pontiac GTO.
"It is a great feeling to now have won this event in my 2008 Undercover Motorsports Top Dragster powered by Sunset Racecraft. I am looking forward to running both Top Dragster and Top Sportsman at select NHRA Full Throttle National Events this year. To date, I am currently leading the Jegs All Stars points chase in both Top Sportsman and Top Dragster with one race to go. This event takes the number one point's leader, in each of the eight Sportsman classes, to crown a champion of the seven divisions contested. If all goes well, I will be racing the best of the best in Chicago June 3 - 6 at the Route 66 Nationals."
Raftery's relationship with K&N began just this year, and so far into the season, he says he couldn't be happier.
"I am currently using both the K&N air and oil filters. Many people may not know that K&N makes a filter for dragsters. We have tested the filter with no sacrifice in power whatsoever. What I really like about the filter is that it makes the scoop plug a thing of the past. No more having to worry about starting the engine with the scoop plug still in the scoop. This can be a costly mistake. We are off to a good start in 2010, and with the help of K&N Filters, I hope to win another division championship. One thing for sure - we have the support of a great team with K&N Filters."
Linus Sundstrom was the Swedish Rider of the Year in 2008
In just a few short years, Linus Sundstrom has established himself as one of the brightest up-and-coming riders in European Speedway Bike racing. The 19-year-old from Avesta, Sweden is looking to continue his climb through the ranks of Speedway racing and qualify for the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) World Championships.
Sundstrom will be doubling up with The Ipswich Witches team in the British Elite League
In 2008, Sundstrom was the Swedish Rider of the Year. Last season he captured the Under 19 Nordic Championship, and was also a European Team Under 19 Silver medalist for Sweden and a Bronze medalist at the Swedish Under 21 Finals. This season, Sundstrom is setting his sights even higher.
"I want to win the Swedish Under 21 Final and qualify for the Under 21 Individual World Championship," said the Swedish star. "I also want to represent the Swedish Under 21 team in the Under 21 Team World Cup."
In 2010, Sundstrom will be riding for Rye House in the English Premier League and Piraterna in the Swedish Elite League. He will also be debuting in the Polish first League for Start Gniezno, and to cap things off, will be doubling up with The Ipswich Witches team in the British Elite League. When asked, Sundstrom said there's not much difference riding in other countries.
"Of course at times there is a language barrier…but I just love to ride my bike and I don't care where I ride. This year we are looking to ride in over 100 meetings."
The FIM World Championships are a series of 11 races run throughout Europe. Just racing in the series establishes riders as elitists in the world of Speedway racing; And Sundstrom appears to be on the fast track to fame. "It's my long term goal, but it takes a gigantic financial commitment and, like all racing, a little bit of luck, too."
Sundstrom's bike runs a 500cc engine, with a dry clutch and one fixed gear. The bikes have no brakes and can accelerate to 60mph faster than a Formula 1 car. Sundstrom credits K&N's high performance filters in keeping his costs low, and his winnings high.
"A poor quality filter allows dust to penetrate the engine, causing regular engine services which in turn increase the overall cost of racing. However, with the use of a high quality K&N Filter, the dust is kept out and my engine always runs to its highest performance level."

Harrison Brothers Racing sits firmly in fourth position in the Streetfighter B Championship
In 2008 Dave Stewart introduced the LMB Streetfighters Series to Great Britain. This is a series that provides a road racing experience for people who might not get that opportunity otherwise, and it's open to virtually all class of motorcycles. Stewart manages the British Motor Cycle Racing Club, known as BMCRC, or "Bemsee", it's the world's oldest motorcycle racing club, founded in 1909.
The LMB Streetfighters provides a road racing series for riders that may otherwise never get the experience
With support from Streetfighters Magazine, K&N, and others, Richie Harrison and Harrison Brothers Racing successfully completed their project Honda CBR600FM in time for the first round of the series. Harrison says there were many occasions, working in his garage in near Siberian temperatures that he wondered whether he would ever finish, or if it was all worth it.
The challenges to get everything completed continued right up until the first round practice session. "I had warmed the engine through and brought it up to temperature, as I jumped onto the bike to go out for qualifying and snicked from neutral to first, at this point the engine cut out and the light bulb in my head switched on," reflects Harrison.
The HBR/Streetfighter Magazine 1991 Honda CBR 600FM runs superbly now, after overcoming a host of challenges
In what he refers to as a "token blond moment," Harrison forgot to short the side stand switch. "Yes you can laugh" he says. The good news is that all has worked out well since.
"I can't begin to describe how happy I am with how well the Streetfighters Magazine/HBR Honda has performed and we now sit firmly in fourth position in the Streetfighter B Championship." The next round takes place at Pembrey on the 10th and 11th of April.
"LMB is the series sponsor" explains Harrison. "It stands for Laurence M. Barry, he is a friend of the organizers, ThundersportGB, and supplies all the recovery vehicles used throughout the series for picking up the fallen or injured riders and machines."
"K&N has been great with their support of me and my younger brother Jonathan; they have provided us with products since 2004. K&N has helped us to some great race wins and more importantly have provided us with products that have been used throughout a number of championship titles. We have never had a single issue with a K&N product; we can just fit it and forget about it. They really are that good."
"Currently the HBR/Streetfighter Magazine 1991 Honda CBR 600FM is graced with a K&N Powersports high flow oil ilter and a K&N air filter element, and we will be using these throughout the 2010 season," remarks Harrison.
According to Harrison, the short term goal for the 2010 race series is for Harrison Brothers Racing to be a regular podium hound every weekend. "We had a great start to the year in round one and two at Mallory Park," says Harrison.
By the time they head to Pembrey, they expect to have improved the bike further, allowing them to run even closer to the front. "You can follow our progress throughout the year by logging onto our MySpace page or by following us on Facebook. Many thanks and I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress throughout 2010."
