The Cherry Bomb 1964 Dodge D-100 was featured on Stacey David's Gearz Show
Cherry Bomb Exhaust is a high performance exhaust builder with a keen eye for style and performance. Cherry Bomb has been modifying vehicles for 5 years with numerous projects such as a 2007 Harley Davidson Custom Street Glide, 1964 Dodge D-100 and they are currently working on a 1968 Camaro.

Matt Graves, Marketing Manager for Cherry Bomb, spoke with K&N at the 2009 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, where their 1964 Dodge D-100 pickup was on display. "The Cherry Bomb D-100 has a 528 Hemi engine, aluminum dual carburetor and a K&N air intake system." Graves explained. "It was recently featured on Stacey David’s Gearz. Stacey installed some traction bars and set of Radir wheels and tires."

Cherry Bomb project cars have been featured in many popular magazines such as Hot Rod, Mopar Muscle, Car Craft, Ol Skool Rods and PowerBlock TV.
Cherry Bomb has been using K&N products for over 5 years. "We use K&N on our project cars because they provide great performance and they always seem to fit right," said Graves. "We even use K&N on our personal vehicles."
Their 1968 Camaro still has work to be done. "We are still in the works at year one with the Camaro," Graves said. "K&N is sure to be a part of this project as well."
There are young racers who go for the glory, and there are the young racers who give that glory to others. Christian Copley is one who gives. His grandfather, Mike Kappmeyer helped Copley discover his need for speed when he was only 11-years-old. Kappmeyer also helped Copley understand how important it is to help underprivileged teens and kids with cancer.

MRK Motorsports helps to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation
“I started my grandson in Go Karts,” said Kappmeyer. “At the time, there wasn’t a program for kids at Ventura Raceway or Santa Maria Speedway in California. Those are the closest tracks to our home.”

Kappmeyer eventually built junior midgets for kids from 10 through 16. The midgets were safe enough to satisfy the track owner at Ventura Raceway and that’s how everything started for the MRK Motorsports Team. Within the first year there were junior midgets everywhere. “We branched out from our friends at the track and took trouble kids and put them behind the wheel,” said Kappmeyer. “As Christian progressed with his racing skills so did our benefit program. We eventually started raising money for the Make a Wish Foundation to help children with cancer.”
Copley moved up to Junior Midgets when he was 13-years-old and by 15 he became the youngest driver to compete in the adult division half-mile track series. At 18-years-old he has enough points to win in the NASCAR South West Tour Truck Series. He just has to show up at the next race for the win.
“Every year we have a special charity event to benefit children with cancer,” said Copley. “I have received this big gift, the gift of racing, from my grandpa. This is a way for me to give back to others.”
Copley races his Chevrolet Silverado with a 602 Chevy Crate engine. “There are so many things I like about racing,” he said. “It’s the speed, the adrenaline rush of knowing I can go a half of a tenth of a second faster. I use K&N air and oil filters on the track. K&N protects my engines from debris and gives me the boost I need to help make it to the winner’s circle.”
Grandfather and grandson are in the process of putting together another charity event for the kids. They want to raise more money for Make a Wish. Copley also wants to race in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
“The more you give, the more you get back,” said Kappmeyer.
Malcom Pointon's racing goals for 2010 include winning an Unlimited Buggy Championship and earn a truck ride
Carbon fiber, or graphite, is a classification for any fibers, which are at least 92 percent (by weight) carbon in composition. Carbon fiber is the common name used to refer to plastic reinforced by a graphite textile. Less frequently, the term is used to describe the textile itself, but it is pretty much useless embedded in plastic.
Pointon's engine of choice is every bit as cutting-edge as the carbon fiber body.
The complex interwoven nature of the fiber makes it very difficult to break while reducing overall weight ridiculously. You can make really fast racecars from the stuff, ask Malcolm Pointon.
"The advantage of having a carbon fiber body is that the car's overall weight is lower and stiffer. This makes it easier to stop, and a lot more efficient to drive under race conditions. It is super-lightweight and it's super-strong. Carbon fiber is roughly 3 times stronger, and more than 4 times lighter than steel. Also, it's much easier to clean after each race."
Pointon's engine of choice is every bit as cutting-edge as the carbon fiber body. "The Toyota 4A-GE race engine is compact and it's a lightweight design. The 4A-GE's durability is equal to its performance. As a full racing engine it has proven itself. I have made many upgrades to the engine: titanium rods, a cam package, really, too many upgrades to name. Before the Arizona race we dry-sumped with TRD upgraded dry-sump parts, and changed to a K&N oil filter (HP-3001). Also, we are currently testing a new exhaust system from Fat Performance. I also have a Toyota 4A-GE spare engine, which I race with back in New Zealand, but it does not have the latest upgrades," continues Pointon.
"The Lucas Off Road Series, it's the best," declares Pointon. "Tony has done a great job, he has turned the sport totally around as far as I'm concerned. It's very competitive with all the top racers out there vying for the top spots, which just adds to the excitement of the racing. Our last race was Arizona, I placed 7th, but we had overheating problems. It's a hard track; I actually buckled four rear wheels - now that's hard. For the next race we are heading to Stateline, Primm, Nevada. I do all my own prep work on the car at my workshop; I'm a diesel mechanic by trade, so when I have a time, I work on the car. Right now all the problems have been sorted out, we have new wheels - we are ready to race next week."
"Besides the K&N oil filter I also use the K&N air filter (E-3471), the engine breather (RE-0280) - I find all of K&N's product's to be unbeatable."
Pointon's racing goals for the 2010 include winning an Unlimited Buggy Championship and earn a truck ride.
KTM-Sportmotorcycle AG is a highly respected, and increasingly popular Austrian motorcycle manufacturer. KTM achieved notoriety in the early days of off-road racing with innovative motorcycles and many championships.
K&N High-Flow Air Filter, number KT-6907, for 2007-2009 690 SMC and 2008-2011 Duke Motorcycles
Financial difficulties in the early nineties forced the company to file for bankruptcy and resulted in a three-part division of its separate manufacturing branches. Reinvented as KTM-Sportmotorcycle AG in 1994, the company set out to revive its off-road dominance as well as penetrate the street motorcycle market.
KTM’s first on-road motorcycle to roll off the assembly line was the 1994 620 Duke. The Duke was based on KTM’s highly successful LC4 enduro motorcycles. The Duke featured street tires, a small fairing, and dual exhaust. KTM essentially created its own market segment with the Duke by manufacturing the first factory Supermoto machine.
Through the years the Duke has evolved into more of a street machine than pure Supermoto bike. However, KTM has in no way alienated Supermoto enthusiasts. Here to answer that call is the Duke’s paternal-twin, the KTM 690 SMC Supermoto. Born of the same womb, but not identical, the 690 Supermoto is what you get when you mix a dirtbike with a sportbike.
The 2007-2009 KTM 690 SMC Supermoto and 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 KTM 690 Duke models are both very versatile and powerful motorcycles. K&N has released a new washable/reusable high-flow air filter (KT-6907) to meet the demands of these machines and their owners.
This high-flow replacement air filter is washable/reusable, pre-oiled and ready to ride. K&N’s KT-6907 is specifically designed to fit into the stock air filter assembly of 2007-2009 KTM 690 SMC Supermoto and 2008-2012 KTM 690 Duke models with 654 cc engines.
K&N high-flow replacement motorcycle air filters are performance designed to provide increased airflow, resulting in increased horsepower and torque while providing excellent filtration. Fuel management modifications to your KTM are not necessary to obtain increased performance.
In 2008 the ZX-10R Ninja was redesigned. Technology born on the racetrack found its way down to Kawasaki’s line up of street machines. Changes include a revised 998 cc 16-valve liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine, a new chassis, and new suspension. All this combines to make the
2008-2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R a potent race-ready machine.
Race Specific Air Filter for Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja Motorcycles
Here to help the ZX-10R stand out from the on track competition is K&N’s new race specific air filter (KA-1008R) designed to increase performance in 2008, 2009 and 2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja models.
K&N’s line of race specific air filters are designed for asphalt racing only. They are not intended for dirt track, off-road or highway use. Part number KA-1008R is very different from its stock replacement air filter counter part (KA-1008).
KA-1008R incorporates two-ply cotton media in a special pleat pattern to be less restrictive, providing extra airflow. As a result this K&N racing air filter increases horsepower and acceleration for the racetrack.
K&N part number KA-1008R will fit directly inside your OE air box assembly. No cutting or fitting modifications are required to install this filter, but fuel management modifications will be necessary to obtain optimum performance.
K&N air filters are washable and reusable. K&N’s KA-1008R is warranted against defective workmanship for one year after the date of purchase with no mileage limitation.
For 2008 to 2010 ZX-10R motorcycles used in normal non-racing environments, K&N recommends its four-layer OE replacement air filter, part number KA-1008 for excellent engine protection and air flow.
K&N also offers a line of performance oil filters for use on and off the racetrack. Our canister style oil filters feature high flow rates, a heavy-duty canister, high burst strength and a 17mm wrench-off nut that is pre-drilled for safety wire attachment. K&N oil filters are ideal for race applications, hard to reach oil filters, high-performance engines, and use with synthetic oils. This makes the 2008 to 2010 ZX-10R Ninja an ideal candidate for part number KN-303.
