K&N continues to stay at the cutting edge of race technology. When it comes to racing, K&N has the most innovative products designed to help you win.
Don Davis Drag Racing Hood Scoop Filter 28-4200
K&N designed two hood scoop air filters to fit the unique shape of the Don Davis drag racing hood scoop. Due to the various configurations of the engine compartment and drag racing cars, the depth of the air filter must be considered. K&N's 28-4195 has a 10" depth. The 28-4200 has a depth of 6 inches. Both have a black powder coated base and are simple to mount into a Don Davis hood scoop.
K&N racing filters use two layers of cotton gauze that allow plenty of fresh air to enter the engine. The 28-4195 and 28-4200 deliver this powerful air-flow while protecting your engine from small stones, tire dust and other track debris that could damage your engine.

Audi has shown that performance doesn't always have to come by sacrificing luxuries. The Audi S6 provides a thrilling and comfortable ride the whole family can enjoy.
To get even more performance out of the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Audi S6 with the 5.2L engine, K&N offers a replacement air filter (E-2996) that is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration. The E-2996 is engineered to fit into the stock airbox of the S6 without any cutting or drilling required. This simple clamp-on design makes adding performance to your Audi S6 very easy. Keep in mind that there are two airboxes in the Audi S6 with the 5.2L engine so two of these air filters are required.
K&N replacement air filters are washable and reusable filters that can go up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is needed. The E-2996 will be the last air filter your Audi S6 will ever need. K&N backs their OE replacement filters with a Million Mile Limited Warranty™.

Second generation racer and Lexmark printer engineer, Dan Carter has a slightly different approach to racing his NHRA Super Street 1968 Camaro than other competitors in the class. While it's nearly impossible to expect to do well in a class whose margins at the strip are regularly determined by mere inches, without some sort of high tech weather station and prediction software combination, Carter developed his quite successful technique using simple instruments and not so simple formulas.

"I'm a little different than most guys," proclaims the Georgetown, Kentucky resident. "I've developed my own predictions for weather and my own software. I have my gauges for temperature and humidity and I use like an old airplane altimeter as well. I have everything written in Excel and I use my laptop for predictions. You'll also find me hanging out near the finish line at most events, where I can study other racers and the outcomes. "

"I run the number pretty good," Carter adds. "In fact, I'm better at running the number than probably anything else."
Carter's success in Super Street might also be contributed to another huge factor in that of the car he drives, his 1968 Camaro Z28, and the fact it's the only car he's raced in his 27 years of competition.
"I've raced it since I was 18," explains Carter. "It's been modified completely, first the fiberglass front, then the hood and doors. We've tubbed it and tube chassised the front. We seem to change a little on it each season and this year we are upgrading the motor from the 462 to the 540 my dad had been running is car."
"My dad is 70 and still racing in Super Street, but due to some of his recent medical problems he needs to stay below 135mph. So it's funny how things work out that way, but that's how I inherited the bigger motor," Carter continued.
Much different from the days when Carter first started competing are the top end speeds of the cars in Super Street. "I've raced around the 136-137 mpg range for years, and it's just so competitive now with a bunch of cars going a "buck-fifty". It just seems harder to compete unless you are running at least in the 140's and I'll certainly be there this year."
The 2001 NHRA Division 2 Super Street Champ focuses strictly on chasing points in the class and will begin his quest for the new season at the Division 3 opener at Indianapolis next month. "The car only moves if it's a race for money and points, otherwise it doesn't go out, as I don't want to waste runs on the car. I'll start at the Indy divisional and move on to the Atlanta National and Chicago from there. Super Street is limited so much on the amount of Nationals you can hit, so I will run at least seven divisional events, unless I end up having a shot of winning division, then I'll hit more near the end of the season."
While Carter's wife and daughters do travel with him to a couple of his events each season, one thing Carter never leaves home without is the assistance and protection of K&N products.
A lifetime user of K&N's vast variety of filters, Carter utilizes a K&N filter in just about everything with an engine he owns, right down to his garden tractor. "I've been using K&N Air Filters ever since I can remember and started using the oil filters over seven years ago. I use them on my tow vehicle, my everyday vehicles, of course my Camaro and even my lawn mower," Carter pauses. "I even found a K&N filter that fit my John Deere."
With Carter's engineering background, he may look at some things in just a slightly different light than others.
"Besides protecting my Camaro's engine from debris and rocks, I almost feel as if it's more consistent by running the K&N Air Filter, maybe that's just my background and all the data I have analyzed."
German automobile manufacturer, Audi, has been around for 100 years. Audi is well-known for their development of luxury cars and SUV's. Some of these classy models include the S8, A8 and the all-wheel-drive A8 Quattro.
Replacement Air Filter for Audi S8, A8 and A8 Quattro
K&N offers the Audi S8, A8 and A8 Quattro a lifetime of performance with the addition of their K&N high-flow cotton air filter (E-1992). K&N replacement air filters are washable and reusable and backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. The E-1992 will be the last air filter you will ever need for your Audi.
The E-1992 is designed to fit the 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010 Audi S8 with the 5.2L V10 engine, non-US 2008 Audi S8 5.2L V10, 2004 to 2010 Audi A8 with the 6.0L W12 engine, 2004, 2009 and 2010 Audi A8 Quattro with the 6.0L W12 engine and the non-US 2005 to 2008 Audi A8 Quattro 6.0L W12. Adding performance is easy with the simple drop-in design of the E-1992. The Audi S8, A8, and A8 Quattro utilize a duel-airbox design so two air filters will be required.
The unique round shape of this air filter uses the space available in the original airbox and allows a large amount of air into enter the engine. When combined with the excellent filtration and engine protection, provided by the filter, the E-1992 is a great addition to these Audi models.
This particular story comes with a warning - for-crying-out-loud don't even think of attempting any of these stunts at home. It's tough enough keeping a motorcycle rubber-side-down at all times without adding any additional shenanigans. These guys are highly trained professionals with mad skills. Having said that - man if this isn't one of the most entertaining things you'll ever witness. XDL riders appear to be operating within laws of physics unbeknownst to the rest of us.

The XDL Championship Series is the only national stunt riding championship anywhere and it's now in its fifth season. We asked the series founder, Randy Grube, what the XDL stood for?
"This is supposed to be classified. Or at least we've been acting that way, so people have actually stopped asking. In 2008 and 2009 that was the big question. As with so many things, the name XDL ended up getting used by accident. We did an event in 2005 that combined drifting with stunt bikes called the Xtreme Drifting League (XDL). The stunt riders we invited were so impressed with that event that they started talking about it on the forums," explains Grube.
Aprilia All Star Challenge 2008
Six months later, when it was time to start the series Grube wanted to call the series the United States Stunt Riding Championship (USSRC). He discovered though that there was already so much equity in the name XDL that he decided to stick with it.
"At that time it made little sense to me, but I went with my gut. Now I'm glad we did and best of all, drifting has become somewhat of a staple at the top level of the sport, so the name is kind of fitting after all."
Bill Dixon performs the Sickest Trick
This October Grube is previewing his new TV show called 'Inside XDL' on VERSUS. It's a half-hour show that runs for six weeks and ends the week before Thanksgiving. The show is about the growth of the series and the fight for the National Championship. Inside XDL is a reality drama that focuses heavily on the athletes and their perspective on things. It's specifically designed so that anyone into action sports will enjoy it.
And yes, XDL is definitely gearing to be a part of the X Games. "We've been talking to them since 2009 and hope to do something with them soon," adds Grube.
"Having K&N back is great" says Grube. "K&N is a global top-tier brand. So for us to have them on board is quite significant. As with many things in life, the K&N relationship developed a bit through coincidence. I had unsuccessfully tried to pitch K&N in the early years, but as XDL started growing, and we started getting a reputation for doing good work and moving the sport forward, we started getting on the radar screen of some of the more traditional companies. I started working with both Nick O'Kane and Johnny Jump, and we clicked right away. I forgot who of the two it was that sent me the first e-mail, but having K&N approach us made it a lot easier because they already knew of XDL and liked it."
We also had to asked how brutal the learning curve is for most of the stunts and if one particular bike is favored over another?
As with everything, there has been a lot of progress in the sport," says Grube. "Back in the day bikes didn't have crash cages so every missed trick meant days or weeks in the shop. It took a long time to perfect new tricks. Today everyone uses cages, custom controls, specialized sub-frames and seat cut outs.
Some guys even have bikes that are built from the ground up for stunt competitions."
"The average pro-bike can take a lot of abuse now," adds Grube. "But, just like in any sport, to be at the top requires hours and hours of daily practice and dedication. The bike itself is more like a skateboard now; it gets tossed around a lot but just keeps going."
"As for what kind of bike we use, for the last few years the bike of choice has been the Kawasaki 636, but a lot of bikes are being ridden by the pros, including Aprilia, BMW, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and even the odd Harley."
The next competition takes place April 9 and 10, at Havasu 95 Speedway, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. For more info visit www.xdlshow.com
