Cooper also raced at the 2008 MX Des Nations at Donington Park in the United Kingdom. He rode on the New Zealand Motocross Des Nations National Team for a fourth place finish. Cooper grabbed the holeshot in the second moto, but winner Ryan Villopoto set the pace of the day in the 36 field competition.

K&N Filters started supporting Suzuki City’s Cooper after Team Owner/Manager Michael Nasakaitis tested K&N Filters and liked the results. “Nasakaitis noticed more filtration capacity and performance with K&N to give his team every type of advantage in Motocross,” said John Jump, K&N Powersports Brand Manager. “Suzuki City uses K&N air filtersYA-2506XD and K&N oil filters KN-207.” Cooper has been using K&N Filters all season throughout the AMA Supercross and Outdoor Nationals.

Australian Needs Miracle to Win World Speedway Grand Prix Series

30 Sept 2008

Double World Grand Prix Speedway Champion Jason Crump was ready to win this third Grand Prix of the year in Italy. On the last lap of the final, ignition problems slowed down his motorcycle as Danes Hans Andersen and Bjarne Pedersen passed him just before the finish line.

“Jason was clearly the best rider of the night,” said Crump’s Media Relations Manager Roy Stone. “He scored at the top of his game in the heats. He was distraught after he was forced to coast home in third place and claim only two points toward the championship.”

If Crump won the Italian race, he would have been able to claim six points after ten rounds in the 2008 World Championship Series. “Just when you think everything is right and the checkered flag is in sight the mechanical gremlins strike,” said Crump. “I raced my heart out. This is a huge disappointment. I am mentally programmed to accept it, put it behind me and move on.”

The Australian’s next stop will take place at Gelsenkirschen in Germany. “It will take a miracle for me to win the World Championship, but I’m not conceding,” said Crump. “Miracles do happen.”

Crump will also race in the richest minute in motorsports, the 4-lap Super-Prix. “K&N Filters are always on my motorcycles,” he said. “K&N makes the best filter on the market and I can depend on the extra filtration and additional horsepower at every race. K&N could help me reach my goal of winning the $200,000.00 Super Prix purse in U.S. dollars.”

Crump is currently in second place in the 2008 World Championship Standings.

There is extra space under the hood of the Tundra and our engineers took advantage of this by putting a large round chrome top K&N air filter (RF-1020) to direct more air to the engine. The washable and reusable K&N air filter is also protected and isolated from the heat of the engine compartment by a powder coated steel heat shield.

K&N air intake systems provide a measured increase in horsepower while providing excellent air filtration. Our customers feel a huge increase in power when they accelerate. The high flow technology invented by K&N and made in the USA provides the best balance of airflow and filtration.

Our performance air intake systems are backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less.
