The CORR Series drivers of Rockstar Makita Team LeDuc had a rocky weekend at Chula Vista International Raceway. Todd LeDuc finished fourth and third in the two Pro 2 races, and his father Curt LeDuc, faced mechanical problems throughout the weekend.

Kyle LeDuc drove his Rockstar Makita Ford to fourth place in Saturday’s Pro 4 race, but finished 10th on Sunday because of engine problems. Team driver and Pro Lite rookie Brian Deegan was 10th on Saturday and 19th on Sunday. His rear end housing broke down when he was racing and was ranked in eighth place.
Rockstar Makita Team LeDuc have a shot at the CORR Series championship
Pomona, California will host the next CORR Race of the 2008 Series
Curt LeDuc finished ninth in Saturday’s Pro 4 race. On Sunday, the steering in his Ford broke at the start of the 16-lap feature. “This was my worst weekend in five years,” said Curt LeDuc. “We’re just running these trucks harder than we’ve ever run them and we’re going to have to change some of the preparation procedures.”
Despite the disappointing race results, only Curt LeDuc lost a position in the point standings, dropping from sixth to ninth in the Pro 4 Class. There were also a lot of mechanical problems for many other teams at Chula Vista.
Todd LeDuc went into the fourth race of the CORR Season’s eight events third in the Pro 2 standings and remained in third overall, 45 points behind the leader. Kyle LeDuc stayed fifth in the Pro 4 Class and Deegan was 10th in Pro Lite overall. “I didn’t have any mechanical problems at Chula Vista,” said Kyle LeDuc. “I slid into a dirt bank really hard on Saturday and a bunch of dirt went into the wheel and got it off balance. My truck was bouncing so hard I thought I had a flat tire, so I slowed down a bit and that hurt me.”
Pomona, California will host the next big CORR race of the season and the LeDuc family plans to turn things around. “We’ve done well in Pomona before,” said Kyle LeDuc. “We’re going to try and get pole positions and have good races. There is still a long way to go for the championship and Todd and I are still in contention.”

Team Lovell had one goal during the entire 2008 WE-ROCK season, to build the single best truck for rock crawling and rock racing. Brad and Roger Lovell said they are honored to announce they have once again been crowned the Western We-Rock Pro-Mod Champions. Pro-Mod is the dominant class in rock crawling.
We-Rock Pro-Mod title returned to Team Lovell in Western Division
Difficult rock crawling courses got harder as the WE-ROCK Series progressed
Brad and Roger Lovell entered the final series event at Donner Ski Ranch in Truckee, California with a series lead. They also needed a strong finish to come out on top.
Team Lovell's FABTCH Ford Ranger with K&N Engineering air filters
Team Lovell roared up the rock in WE-ROCK Series at Donner Ski Ranch in Northern California.
“The first day the courses were brutal,” said Roger Lovell. “We tested the durability of the FABTECH Ranger with K&N Engineering products in new ways. We wedged and clawed through the first courses then lined up for the B2 course.”
The B2 course was dug out and a monster. Most teams were struggling to keep enough of their vehicles on the B2 course so they were not disqualified. “Our idea was basically to pop a wheelie and then slam the rear axle up and over the rock,” said Lovell. “After a couple of attempts the truck shot to the side and I had a bone jarring landing on the skid-plate. We then tried a new line and bounced right up the granite. At the end of the day, the effort put us 9 points behind Shannon Campbell.”
Day two brought more difficult courses and an additional finals round. The pressure was on for Team Lovell. Brad and Roger played it smart to prevent any rolls or breaks. They had to take chances for a win and unfortunately hit a cone. Team Lovell entered the final round with a 29 point lead over third place.
Just before the brothers had their shot in the finals round, a miniature rain shower descended on the course. “I could see the rain drops hitting the rock and rolling away the dust for the guy in front of us,” said Lovell. “It was so dusty it didn’t even get the rock wet at first. When it was our turn it was raining harder and all that dust turned into a coat of slick mud. We never have to worry about our K&N air filters under conditions like this. K&N kept the debris out of our engines and prevented our sensors from clogging up. There is also a slight taper that gave us the clearance and flexibility we needed.”
The Lovell successfully fought the wet track and big holes by the rocks. With less than a minute left, Roger Lovell guided the Ranger into the final notch and Brad Lovell hit the gas. The FABTECH Ranger cleared the end gates.
The 2008 WE-ROCK Series was a great success for Team Lovell. Only 12 points kept them from a perfect season. They now have 5 consecutive series championship wins.

K&N Air Intake 57-3058 Installed in 2007 GMC Yukon with a 5.3 liter V8 engine
K&N Engineering has developed a performance air intake system (57-3058) that is street legal in 50 states for these vehicles. See the complete applications list below. K&N dynamometer testing shows an estimated 17.54 horsepower gain at 4917 rpm.

The original factory air box and original filter are restrictive in this series of SUVs. The design of the K&N intake tube and the K&N replacement air filter (RF-1042) with radius adaptor are some of the reasons why K&N was able to get so much additional power. The stock mass air sensor was also repositioned to help with the horsepower gains. The round tapered chrome top K&N air filter fits into the engine compartment using factory holes and mounting points to let cool fresh air into the engine.
The 57-3058 also comes with a removable lid that goes over the top of the heat shield. This is designed to keep out any heavy debris. However, with or without the lid the horsepower increase is essentially the same.
It takes 90 minutes or less to install this kit using simple hand tools. The
57-3058 also comes with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. Take a look at our 57-3058 installation video to see all the steps involved.

The 2007 Jeep Compass entered a segment of the automotive market that already has many established players. It plans to attract non-traditional Jeep buyers with its compact SUV design. The 2007 Dodge Caliber performs well, and like the Jeep, is a crossover vehicle.
K&N Air Intake 57-1552 for Jeep Compass and Dodge Caliber
K&N Engineering, Inc. has manufactured a 50 US State street legal air intake (57-1552) for the 2007 to 2010 Jeep Compass 2.0 liter and 2.4 liter engine and for all three engine options of the 2007 to 2010 Dodge Caliber. The Dodge Caliber comes with the option of a 1.8 liter, 2.0 liter or 2.4 liter engine.

"The factory tube has an accordion shaped connection in the middle of an s-shaped bend," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "Its accordion shaped rings are restrictive compared to the K&N engineered air intake." K&N dynamometer testing shows a horsepower gain of 7.94 @ 4557 RPM on the 2.4 liter engine.
For maximum performance simply replace the factory tube and airbox with K&N's air intake system. The 57-1552's tube is smooth with no accordion rings, said Heck. "The heat shield isolates the K&N Air Filter (RU-4730) from the heat of the engine and attaches to a factory fresh air duct," he said. "This means more air gets to the engine resulting in more power."
It takes less than an hour to install this kit. The lifetime K&N Air Filter comes with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
