The revival of classic Dodge muscle cars such as the sporty 2011 and 2012 Challenger and Charger have breathed new life into American automotive tradition. Even the remodeling of the 2011 and 2012 Chrysler 300 has brought power and luxury together in a popular and exciting union. These three iconic models are most popularly known in their V8 forms, which boast power and speed deluxe. Yet a newer trend has seen these vehicles equipped with peppy and more fuel efficient V6 engines for the modern driver. But having a V6 model for either the Charger, Challenger or 300 doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice power or performance any longer, thanks to this K&N performance air intake system.

2007-2012 Honda SH300i Scooters Gain Performance with K&N Air Filter

Replacement Air Filter for the 2007-2012 Honda SH300i
Replacement Air Filter for the 2007-2012 Honda SH300i
Here in the US, where "mine has always been bigger than yours" and engine output have too long exceeded gas-sucking ridiculousness, scooters have always been viewed as some pest you clean from the grille of your V8 pickup truck. It's taken scooters a long time to find respect and an image worthy of cultivating. My theory is, it has a lot to do with the name "scooter," because as a basic commuter they make a stupid amount of sense.

Unfortunately, here in the States the only Honda SH model available is the smaller 150i, the one that doesn't do enough to up the overall scooter image. Honda's SH300i big-wheel scooter on the other hand would go a long way to change that. The SH300i isn't yet available in the States, but over in Europe they've been riding them for a number of years. In fact, in Italy the 2011 SH300i was the best-selling scooter, not just in Honda's line-up, but in the country's entire scooter segment.

The Honda SH300i is a wolf in sheep's clothing; it rides like a full-on sports scooter, accelerates reasonably well from a standing start, has loads of power for passing and it'll stop on a sixpence thanks to optionally available ABS/CBS equipped brakes. The Honda brakes are second-to-none, with a system so well sorted that you hardly know it's there, unless of course you need to brake hard on a wet or slippery surface.

The SH300i handles exceptionally well, more like a sports scooter than a lot of scooters that claim to be in that category. The 279cc fuel injected engine has plenty of grunt and it taps-out at around 85mph, which certainly takes the mute out of commuting. And now, by simply replacing the factory installed disposable air filter with K&N's HA-3011 reusable air filter, you can instantly add a lifetime of performance to your twist-and-go SH300i.

The HA-3011 high-performance replacement motorcycle air filter is designed to fit effortlessly into the existing air box without requiring any modifications. Plus, it's engineered to increase horsepower and acceleration while providing exceptional levels of air filtration. Finding the right balance of airflow, filtration efficiency, and dirt capacity is why K&N has become world-famous.

What's more, regardless of how and where you scoot, the HA-3011 will be the last air filter you'll ever buy for your SH300i, because it's backed with K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty. In addition, you won't even need to think about cleaning your HA-3011 air filter for up to 50,000 trouble-free miles, depending on driving conditions, and that's like scooting twice around the planet. Then when it is time to clean the filter, you simply wash, oil and reuse it using one of K&N's Recharger Kits.

K&N HA-3011 fits the following Honda SH300i models:

2012 Honda SH300i
2011 Honda SH300i
2010 Honda SH300i
2009 Honda SH300i
2008 Honda SH300i
2007 Honda SH300i

Corey LaJoie won his second NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race of the season and Chase Elliott had a record-breaking night at Langley Speedway in Virginia. LaJoie put the pressure on Brett Moffitt on the track and on Elliott in the K&N Pro Series East standings.
Corey LaJoie has two Pro Series wins and five top-five finishes in just seven races.

Moffitt led the most laps in the race, 115, but LaJoie overtook Moffitt on lap 165 and led the rest of the way in the Visit Hampton VA 175.

Moffitt held on for second place at Langley. Elliott, who won the pole and set the track record in qualifying, was third.

LaJoie led only 40 laps in the race and was able to trim Elliott's lead to one point in the East Series standings. LaJoie has two wins and five top-five finishes in seven races. Elliott has one win and six top 10s.

"It's awesome -- especially when you get that first one, you want to get that second one so bad," said LaJoie. "And now I want to get that third one so bad because we're in the championship hunt. I've been telling a lot of people all year we're going to win the championship and so far I'm backing up my words."

LaJoie became the first two-time winner in the K&N Pro Series East Series this season. The top four drivers in the East Series standings have at least one win.
Chase Elliott won the pole and broke the record of 16.439 seconds set by Coleman Pressley last year at Langley

Elliott won the pole in 16.400 second around the .4-mile oval. He broke the record of 16.439 seconds set by Coleman Pressley last year at Langley.

Elliott also became the youngest driver to win a pole in a K&N Pro Series East race. At 16 years, 6 months and 26 days, Elliott broke the mark set by Moffitt by nearly a month and half. Moffitt was the youngest driver to win a K&N Pro Series East pole at 16 years, 8 months and 10 days.

Elliott led the first 20 laps of the race before LaJoie him on lap 21. The first caution came out on lap 42 when Akinori Ogata spun out in turn 2. Moffitt took the lead on the ensuing restart and held it for the next 85 laps. "I think we had a better car than where we finished," Elliott said. "Unfortunately we were just good enough to get back in the top five. I'm really proud of everybody for staying behind me. We definitely need to do better. These guys are good. I think they're a little bit better than us right now. We have to get ourselves together and do better the next race."

Moffitt and LaJoie raced side-by-side and survived a number of cautions and crashes until lap 163. Kyle Larson spun out to bring out the seventh caution of the race.

"It's a lot of fun," Moffitt said. "At these short tracks, you never know exactly what's going to happen. It's great short track racing."

LaJoie took the lead from Moffitt on lap 165 and led the last 11 laps of the race.

"I just needed to roll the bottom like I did all night," LaJoie said. "Our car was really good on the bottom. It got a little tight toward the end. I was able to get a good jump on the restart, roll the bottom and bring home this bad boy right here."

The next K&N Pro Series East race is the Samuel 150 at CNB Bank Raceway Park in Pennsylvania on July 14.

David Gilliland won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race in Sonoma.
The Gillilands and the drivers for Gene Price Motorsports had a stellar weekend at the road course in Sonoma. David Gilliland won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race in Sonoma. His dad, Butch Gilliland, a two-team winner in the West Series at Sonoma, was inducted into the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame.
David Gilliland took the lead on lap 44 and held it until the checkered flag.

Greg Pursley, one of the drivers for Gene Price Motorsports, posted his best finish in a K&N Pro Series West race at Sonoma.

Dylan Kwasniewski, Pursley's teammate at Gene Price Motorsports, maintained his lead in the K&N Pro Series West standings.

David Gilliland, a regular on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, won his second West Series race at Sonoma, matching his father's two wins at the track. David Gilliland was also the crew chief for his dad for one of those wins, so he probably has bragging rights, if only on a technicality.

Seeing Butch Gilliland inducted into the Hall of Fame was just as special as winning the race in Sonoma, David Gilliland said.

"Obviously a huge thing for our family," David Gilliland said after the race. "A very special achievement and I got to induct him into the Hall of Fame, so it was pretty cool. He lives in Dubai now, so I don't get to see him very much. He's won here twice and I've only won here once. Today we had to tie it up."

David Gilliland didn't take the lead in the race until the second half. A string of West Series regulars were out front for the majority of the race.

Pursley won the pole and led the first 23 laps of the Pick-n-Pull Racing To Stop Hunger 200. David Mayhew passed Pursley for the lead on lap 24 and held it for six laps.

Eric Holmes took over the lead from Mayhew on lap 31 before Gilliland worked his way to the front. Gilliland took the lead on lap 44 and held it until the checkered flag.

"This race is awesome," Gilliland said. "My dad has had a lot of success out here. I've had a lot of success out here as a crew chief. I've got my career best Cup finish here. We finished second. It's an awesome race track. I love coming out here and racing."

Derek Thorn, making his first K&N Pro Series West start at Sonoma, was second.

"We had one final shot with Gilliland at the end," Thorn said. "Following him helped me learn some stuff. With the experience he has, he was able to pull away from me a little bit. It was awesome to run up front like that. The whole combination of our team came together today. Second place, for this being my first time here, we're ecstatic."

Pursley posted his best K&N Pro Series West finish at Sonoma coming in third. He was fourth at last year's Sonoma race. He was able to close the gap a little in the K&N Pro Series West standings and trails Kwasniewski by eight points after eight races.

"Very good points day," Pursley said. "Led a bunch of laps and we'll get some points out of that. Dylan finished great. He finished fifth today. All in all a great day for Gene Price Motorsports. The guys did a great job and they work hard. Gotta give it to them."

Jim Inglebright was fourth followed by Kwasniewski in fifth to round out the top five.

The Pick-n-Pull Racing To Stop Hunger 200 will be televised on Speed on July 12 at noon PDT.

The next K&N Pro Series West race is the NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Gene Price Motorsports at Evergreen Speedway in Washington on July 14.
