The NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series continues in Phoenix, Arizona. It will be a welcome relief for the racers after days of rain at the Winternationals in Pomona, California.
Racers there faced changing track and air conditions as well as changes to their tune-ups at the season opener for the NHRA at the Auto Club Raceway. Despite the heavy downpours several K&N sponsored racers left Pomona with bragging rights.
Former Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson set the national ET record using a K&N Hood Scoop (100-8508) on his Summit Racing Equipment 2009 Pontiac GXP. He broke both ends of his own 6.615 at 209.39 mph track records with a 6.58 at 209.50 mph. By the end of the week Anderson reset the track and national ET record at 6.528. Anderson’s teammate Jason Line almost set the speed record. Line also has a K&N hood scoop on top of his Summit Racing 2008 Pontiac GXP.
“The K&N hood scoops are great,” said Greg Anderson. “Jason and I had them on our cars all weekend. Our track records using the K&N hood scoops speak for themselves. The hardest part was keeping it together for six days at Pomona while the rain came down. I only got one run until Tuesday, then on Wednesday I was able to make three runs and Jason made four.” Anderson said he is excited about Phoenix and looking forward to dry weather.
Warren Johnson raced his K&N Pontiac to the No. 5 qualifying spot in Pro Stock with a 6.629 at 208.62 mph. His son Kurt Johnson qualified seventh. He is also looking forward to Phoenix.
Dan Fletcher, the NHRA Lucas Oil Competition Eliminator World Champion, continued from where he left off in 2008 and beat Doug Lambeck in the final round at Pomona. Fletcher drove Rick Braun’s Chevy Cobalt with an 8.03 on the 8.66 index to his 57th national event win.
“I’m going to Phoenix to win Super Stock in my K&N sponsored 1969 Chevy Camaro,” said Fletcher. “My son Thomas will drive our matching K&N sponsored 1969 Chevy Camaro in Stock Eliminator.” Fletcher will also drive the Chevy Cobalt in Competition Eliminator.
K&N sponsored racers Mark Faul will also compete in Super Stock and Stock Eliminator. Rock Haas and Gary Stinnett will
also compete in Stock Eliminator. In Super Comp K&N sponsored racers at Phoenix include Aaron Kinard, Jonathan Fiello, Sheldon Gecker Sr., Max Tafoya Jr., Andrew Madrid and Thomas Bayer.
K&N sponsored racer Shawn Langdon will compete in Top Fuel in the Lucas Oil Top Fuel Dragster along with Del Cox Junior who will drive the L.A. King’s RG Industries Dragster. Langdon and Cox have championships in Sportsman Class competition, but they are both rookies in Top Fuel. Langdon and Cox use K&N oil filter HP-5001.
Mike Ferderer will compete in Super Gas in Phoenix. “My K&N Filters car
is deadly on the track,” he said. “K&N is the reason for some of my best speeds and consistency.” Other K&N sponsored racers in Super Gas at Phoenix include Sheldon Gecker Sr., Max Tafoya Jr., Jim Momjian and Thomas Bayer.
In Competition Eliminator, other K&N sponsored racers in Phoenix include Brian Browell.
K&N is very proud of its relationship with the top racers in the world of drag racing and is looking forward to the 2009 season. The Lucas Oil Slick Mist NHRA Nationals take place from February 20-22.
Dirt and gravel can turn off road travel into a really rough ride in just a split second. The crews that took the Ultimate Adventure Four Wheeling Road Trip from the Black Hills of South Dakota to Rangely, Colorado saw and felt the geography change every day.
K&N sponsored vehicle negotiates the Ultimate Adventure Four Wheeling Road Trip
Caravan of off-road vehicles make it through tough off-road terrain in the Ultimate Adventure
For seven full days off-road rigs drove and four wheeled to the next adventure in the next state. “One day we’d four-wheel across a back road,” said Ryan Hagel, co-driver of the K&N sponsored vehicle. “The next day we’d drive on a main road on the way to our next destination.”
600 miles of travel was a typical day on the Ultimate Adventure Four Wheeling Road Trip
Off the beaten path, the Ultimate Adventure Four Wheeling Road Trip drivers met different types of terrain
The caravan of vehicles was similar to the
Hot Rod Power Tour and attracted a lot of attention at each stop. “Imagine dozens of decked out rigs and you get the picture. There was a lot of comradery on the invitation only annual event,” said Hagel. “Everyone worked together as a team. We kept break-downs to a minimum. We helped each other and no one got hurt. It was a success.”
Keith Bailey represented K&N and drove through the terrain with his 5.7 liter Hemi-powered engine with a Bruiser chassis. The vehicle was equipped with K&N air and oil filters. “K&N took us through the dirt and kept our engine safe,” said Hagel. “We got the extra filtration and power we needed under extreme off-road conditions.”
Other modifications included:
Engine: 5.7 liter Hemi
Transmission: 545RFE
Transfer case: Dana 300, Low Max 4:1, and STaK replacement case
Front axle: Solid high-pinion Dana 60, spool, 5:13 gears
Rear axle: Solid high-pinion Dana 60, spool, 5:13 gears
Steering PSC full hydraulic
Suspension: 14 inch Fox coilovers with air bumps
Tires and Wheels: 39-inch BFG Krawlers on 17-inch Poison Spyder bead locks
Other: Warn 9.5i winch
From the plains, to steep hills and rocks the caravan was treated to spectacular sights and intense trail action. “I hope to do it again,” said Hagel. “It was an awesome experience.”

“Antonio and Marcel have the ability, the experience and the mindset we look for in a Corvette Racing driver,” said GM Road Racing Group Manager Steve Wesoloski. “We’ve seen their speed on the track, and we know they have the discipline and team-oriented attitude that’s essential for success in endurance racing.”
Corvette Racing has run and will continue to run a special K&N Engineering air filter. “Dirt is a huge problem in our races,” said Crew Chief Dan Binks. “K&N protects our engines from the debris and is especially helpful at our endurance races.”

Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing Team were ready for Outlaw action after a long winter of preparation.
Jason Meyers posted two top-10 finishes in the World of Outlaws Attel Dirt Car Nationals Season Opener in Florida
The World of Outlaws Attel Dirt Car Nationals Season Opener took place in Barberville, Florida. On Friday night, Meyers opened the 2009 Outlaw season with a top ten finish at Volusia Speedway Park.
K&N products give Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing Team an edge on the track by keeping motors clean under very dirty conditions without giving up any horsepower
Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing Team will next race at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada
On Saturday night, the Clovis, California native qualified in 17th place, less than three-hundredths of a second off of the pace set by Sammy Swindell. Meyers finished sixth in his heat and started on the pole position in the B Main. He went on to the win.
Meyers uses K&N products. “K&N Filters are absolutely the best, and that is why you will find them in every application within our team,” he said. “We work very hard to make horsepower and our K&N filter allows us to protect or motors in the worst conditions.”
Meyers made a few changes to the car and returned to the track to start the A-Main in the eighteenth position. He raced to the tenth position. “It was a challenging night for us,” said Meyers. “But, that is why we are here. I am really proud of this Elite Racing team for keeping its head up and solving our handling issues. Sometimes it takes several nights to overcome these issues, but they made the right changes and got us going in the right direction.”
On the final night of the DIRTcar Nationals Meyers posted a top ten finish. His qualifying put him just outside the inversion. This placed him starting on the pole in heat four. Meyers crossed the line in fifth place and earned the final transfer spot into the A-Main. Once there, he quickly drove his way toward the front of the field. There was only one caution during the 30-lap event and Meyers passed nine cars to cross the line in eighth place. “Eighth place isn’t quite as good as we wanted to be,” he said. “We wanted to win, but to come from seventeenth to eighth at Volusia is a good night for us.”
The next race for Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing team will be at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada on February 26.
