IHRA Racer Michael Beard uses K&N on and off the track
Rain blew out the second week of competition, but on the third week of the season Beard competed again at Rockingham Dragway in Rockingham, North Carolina for a two day Spring Blast event. The second day of the Spring Blast event was rained out, along with the IHRA Division 9 Pro-Am event. Beard left his home in Pennsylvania and went back a week later for the next event, the TCI Twins Race in Rockingham. He drove his 1974 Duster and was eliminated in the fourth round.
“I use K&N’s air intake system
57-1516 on my 2000 Dakota Quad Cab with a 4.7 liter engine,” said Beard. “Going back and forth to all these events is expensive. We save gas and noticed improved performance on our tow vehicle. We also use K&N air and oil filters on all of our vehicles. You can’t beat K&N for reliability on and off the track.”
Beard’s next race will be the IHRA Division 9 Pro-Am Race at the Famington Dragway in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
