Cummins Onan RV Generators Now Have a Washable Air Filter Option

Powerful generators like the Cummins Onan QG 7000 used in larger two air conditioner RV's need dependable air filtration and now K&N had a solution that's washable and reusable. K&N has recently developed the new 33-2415 model air filter to accommodate several Onan generators. This air filter features K&N's new synthetic material and it is designed to be a simple drop in replacement for your generator.  It replaces Onan air filter part 1403116.

K&N's hybrid synthetic media is easily cleaned in a three step process, and does not require K&N's special filter oil like K&N's cotton filters. To clean, simply remove the filter from the generator via the service access door and lightly tap off the excess dirt and debris. Liberally spray K&N Heavy Duty Air Filter Cleaner onto both sides of the filter, with the majority of it applied to the dirty side. Allow the cleaner to soak in for 10 minutes and not allowing it to dry on the air filter. Finally, rinse off the filter element with cool or warm water from the clean side out in order to flush the dirt out of the filter. This easy to clean process saves time and the cost of buying disposable filters over and over.

The specially designed synthetic hybrid media of the K&N 33-2415 air filter, allows dirt and contaminants to be depth loaded on the filter.  This allows for longer cleaning intervals. 

K&N's 33-2415 air filter will protect your Onan generator from harmful particles while adding little restriction to the air flowing into the motor.  This filter will fit the following ONAN Generators:

Andrew Comrie-Picard Takes Rally Car Racing Bronze Medal at X Games 16

Despite having 200 less horsepower than his competitors, ACP stayed focused on precision driving to get it done.
Despite having 200 less horsepower than his competitors, ACP stayed focused on precision driving to get it done.
The X Games is an annual sporting event put together by sports broadcaster ESPN, and it focuses on extreme, adrenaline-fueled, action sports. The inaugural games were held back in the summer of 1995 in Rode Island. Seems like only yesterday when we watched Tony Hawk pull off the first 900 (two and a half revolutions) on his skateboard in competition.
K&N sponsored North American Rally Champion Andrew "ACP" Comrie-Picard took third place overall, and the Bronze Medal at this year's unusually challenging X-Games.
K&N sponsored North American Rally Champion Andrew "ACP" Comrie-Picard took third place overall, and the Bronze Medal at this year's unusually challenging X-Games.


One of the most visceral events at the games each year is Rally Car Racing, which involves highly customized cars on a dirt and paved track, and combines skill elements from off and on road racing, and drifting. Spectators go nuts for the deafening roar of horsepower, the brain rattling vibration, and the grit that collects between their teeth.

This year at the Los Angeles Coliseum, K&N sponsored North American Rally Champion Andrew "ACP" Comrie-Picard took third place overall, and the Bronze Medal, in a usually eventful event.

Along with a difficult course which featured extremely tight turns, steep hills, and the fact that no drivers were able to practice the course, ESPN's decision to replace the traditional navigator in the passenger seat, with an ESPN commentator, became a point of aggravation for some drivers. Many of the twelve best drivers and teams in the country were disqualified after becoming disoriented on the course. Make no mistake about it, the X-Games are as much about spectacle, as they are about competitive sporting. And that's exactly as it was intended and should be.

Adding to the challenges all of the drivers already faced, ACP and his team members had one more hurdle to overcome. A day before they were set to compete in the X-Games they blew their high-spec turbo, and they were forced to compete with a 40mm intake restrictor and a stock Mitsubishi turbo, amongst the rival teams who were competing with 45mm intake restrictors and 200 horsepower more.

"For any racer, as soon as you line up on the starting grid, everything else falls away," said Comrie-Picard.

"Whatever car you're in, however much power it has, whatever problems it may be having, you focus on getting everything out of it and using all your talents to do it. Problems with the car, or weaknesses in the setup, are just things that you integrate into your strategy."

Did the large horsepower discrepancy affect the way Comrie-Picard approached the race this year?

"Having less power makes you focus on the precision and maintaining momentum through the corners, rather than relying on the big horsepower to hurl you to the next corner," explained the Toronto, Ontario driver.

"It's more technical and precise, perhaps. The good thing is that when you do get more power, you are still a driver who can use momentum to the max, and you'll be faster than the guy relying on the power. But even head-to-head, it's fun to be the giant-killer, such as the Mini Cooper winning the Monte Carlo Rally for example."

Up next for the Rally Champion is the RallyCar RallyCross Series in New Jersey, starting August 28th. The event is the first in a series of three RallyCross events to take place at the New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) this year, and will be broadcast on ESPN2.

"I'm really looking forward to this and the 2011 series, as I think we'll be very competitive, and I think the series will be huge. Also, of course, I'm drifting the Dodge Motorsports-SHRacing Viper in Las Vegas on August 21."

Eric Holmes Wins NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Race at Colorado National Speedway

Eric Holmes is on a bit of a roll. He won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at Colorado National Speedway on Saturday, his second in a row and his fourth of the season.

The two-time West Series champion from Escalon, Calif., started on the front row with pole winner Luis Martniez Jr. and took the lead on the third lap of the race.

Holmes battled with Martinez for the lead late in the race and held off a surging Paulie Harraka to win for the second time in three years at Colorado National Speedway. Holmes also won the race at Montana Raceway Park on Aug. 7, making it two wins in consecutive weekends.

"The NAPA Toyota probably wasn't as good as (Martinez's) there the mid part of the race, but I just figured out a line that worked good for me and I was able to get by him," said Holmes, driver of the No. 20 Toyota for Bill McAnally Racing.

"Once I got out front I was all right. The restarts my car didn't really want to take off. It made it a little tough. Super amount of fun racing here."

Harraka, Holmes' teammate at Bill McAnally racing, finished second. He won the West Series race at Colorado National Speedway last year.

"Our crew showed their NAPA know-how tonight, that's for sure," Harraka said after the race. "We got going, didn't have the car quite balanced the way I wanted it. The halfway mark we rolled through the pits, went to the back of the field, and made the changes we wanted to. Fortunately they were the right ones. We just kept creeping our way through the field, on and on and on. Just ran out of time. We just didn't have enough time. Got to second, got around Luis with five to go. I was going all out to get by Eric, just didn't have the time to do it."

Martinez won the pole, the first of his West Series career, and led the first two laps of the race. He regained the lead on lap 78 and held it for 29 more laps. It was the first time in his West Series career that he led a race. He finished third and recorded the first podium finish of his West Series career.

"The car stayed about the same the whole day from the time it came from the shop," said Martinez, the leader in the Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings. "It unloaded fast. Right before qualifying, my guys told me just sail it into the corner because it looks like the track's got a lot of grip. That's what I did. It ended up paying off real well for us."

Holmes took the lead from Martinez on lap 107 and held it for the final 43 laps of the race. He extended his lead in the West Series standings to 114 points over David Mayhew.

Harraka moved into third place in the West Series standings with three races remaining. Martinez is fourth in the West Series standings.

"The race I thought was pretty good," Martinez said. "We had a good car the first 75. After that it kind of started losing the drive off a little bit. We kept our heads on strong. We raced Paulie hard to the last bit of the race. I don't think a podium's bad coming out here for the first time. Being a rookie, this track's been awesome to us. Couldn't be more excited."

The next West Series race is at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah on Sept. 12. The final two races of the season are at All American Speedway in Roseville, California, and Phoenix International Raceway in Arizona.

"All these little short tracks I really like," Holmes said. "I like going to Phoenix. I haven't ran great at Salt Lake, but I'm looking forward to going there. We padded our point lead tonight. We just got to play smart, but go to Roseville and Phoenix, planning on winning races and not doing anything different than what we've been doing all year."

Smokin Joe Kopp Wins the K&N Filters Grand National Championship at Hagertown

Three restarts and thrilling back-and-forth racing had the huge crowd on the edge of their seats all evening long.
Three restarts and thrilling back-and-forth racing had the huge crowd on the edge of their seats all evening long.
The K&N Filters Grand National Championship went bi-coastal last week, picking up with more epinephrine juiced action at Hagerstown Speedway in Hagertown, Maryland.

"This was the single largest event we have had in over five years," commented Hagerstown General Manager, Lisa Bragunier. "The fans were treated to one of the best motorcycle races ever."

K&N sponsored and Lloyd Brothers Racing teammate, Joe Kopp, was looking to have a far better race this week, after his wicked get-off last week on the west coast.

"I am feeling ok, but I have some very sore ribs," said Kopp. "My doctor says I have some torn cartilage, so it will just take time to heal."
Despite experiencing a great deal of pain from his crash last week, Joe Kopp was able to ride through it for the win a Hagerstown Speedway.
Despite experiencing a great deal of pain from his crash last week, Joe Kopp was able to ride through it for the win a Hagerstown Speedway.


"Although it's very painful, I let the adrenalin take over when I'm on the bike."

And so he did, the series points leader had considerably more fun in this race aboard his Latus Harley-Davidson / ENI USA backed bike, dueling all evening with his past teammate Kenny Coolbeth. The two former Grand National Champions kept the huge crowd entertained all evening with their back-and-forth action after several aborted starts to the race.

The first attempt to get the twenty-five lap National under way lasted only to the first turn, where a crash collected a number of riders. The next try lasted two laps before last week's winner, Stevie Bonsey, fell in turn three. Bonsey was uninjured, but unable to make the restart.

In all three subsequent starts Coolbeth got the hole-shot, but on the third restart Kopp stuck right on his back wheel, pressing all the way around the track for any hint of space in which to make a move. Officially Kopp and Coolbeth exchanged the lead three times at the line, but there was passing going on all around the track, much to the crowds delight. On lap twenty Kopp took over the lead for the last time, squeezing out the hard fought victory at the checked flag.

"This was a great race. It was a lot of fun dueling with Kenny, we went back and forth for a long time," remarked Kopp after the race.

As for the how he would like to see the rest of the year unfold, Kopp says, "I would like to try and win a few more races and see what happens in the points at the end of the year. The number one plate is what we are all after every time we get on our bikes, but it takes a ton of hard work to get it done, and I have been putting in a huge effort to try and get it done."

"So ask me about what my plans are for October - hopefully it will be a trip to Disneyland," says Kopp with a smile.
