Acura's flagship model, the RL, received a heavy make over for 2009. Refreshed exterior styling is matched with a refined and enlarged power train. The RL's V6 now displaces 3.7L and produces a claimed 300 horsepower at 6,300 RPM. 300 horsepower, all wheel drive, and an MSRP that's thousands less than it's competition, makes this midsize luxury sedan very competitive in a market segment where image is everything.

Primetime's GT2 Dodge Viper delivers fast lap of the race on Road America Circuit in Wisconsin
Dodge Viper logs its 6th top ten finish in GT2 field at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin
Primetime Team owner and driver Joel Feinberg makes podium in American Le Mans Series GT2 in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin
Elan DP-02 finds the best balance between aerodynamic speed and mechanical grip for the championship lead in the IMSA Lites series
Primetime Racing's next event is the Mobil 1 presented Grand Prix of Mosport at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ontario
Primetime Team co driver Chris Hall drove GT2 Dodge Viper in American Le Mans Series race
Primetime Race Group owner and driver Joel Feinberg won back to back races and now leads the series championship in the IMSA Lites Series.
The Primetime Team had another busy week of campaigning cars for a triple race weekend. Feinberg entered the Road America American Le Mans Series GT2 race at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin with a four point deficit to take the lead.
“There was no previous setup information for the No. 7 Elan DP-02 on the four-mile track,” said Primetime Marketing Manager Britoni Burdett. “As a result the team spent the two practice days trying to find the best balance between aerodynamic speed and mechanical grip.”
The team made sure they were ready when it was time for qualifying. During the twenty minute session to determine track position, Feinberg recorded a lap time of 2:06.6 with an average lap speed of over 115 mph. “He not only took the pole position, he did it by more than a full second better than the competition,” said Burdett. “Joel also set a new IMSA Lites track record that held up for the entire weekend.”
This was a no mistakes double header race for Feinberg. He started from the front of the pack and set the pace for the start of the race. There were several restarts and the ultra technical track took two prisoners. “The fastest corner of the track claimed the No. 12 and the No. 79 cars,” said Burdett. “This caused a full course caution that would take 2-3 laps behind the pace car to clean up.”
On the race restart, Feinberg was passed in turn one when the No. 13 car pulled a draft on the long straightaway. “Joel regained his position within the next lap,” said Burdett. “It happened before another two car incident which called for a full course caution.”
With only seven minutes left in the race it ended under caution. Feinberg took his fourth win of the year as well as the overall point lead in the series and team championship.
“A win is a win,” said Feinberg. “I knew I had the best car on the track and I knew what I had to do to stay ahead of these guys.”
On the second race day, Feinberg took the lead and clinched his 5th win of the season as well as a 31 point lead for the driver championship.
“The K&N air filters we use in the Primetime racers always work flawlessly,” said Joe Henry, Primetime Chief Engineer. “We never have to worry about the performance of the K&N products. K&N provides the highest quality filters which help increase horsepower and helps guarantee the performance we need in our race cars.”
The day was not over for the Fort Lauderdale, Floridian. Immediately after the podium ceremony, Feinberg went to the race grid for the feature American Le Mans Series race with Primetime’s GT2 Dodge Viper.
Co-driver Chris Hall took the helm for the start of the race and maintained a consistent pace for most of the race. He held on to his 8th in class position until finding his way into the gravel in turn six. Unfortunately this put the No. 11 Viper a lap down to the field and in an unlikely position to make up the deficit.
With only 90 minutes remaining, Feinberg took over and turned his best laps of the week. His Viper was faster than any of the other American made race cars with the fast lap of the race at 2:11.1. The No. 11 ultimately took the checkered 19th in class.
Primetime Race Group’s next stop is the 2009 Grand Prix of Mosport at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ontario on August 30.
California Dirt Ford Focus Week consisted of three races at three different race tracks in one week. The first stop on the tour was Perris Auto Speedway, next was Ventura Speedway and finally Hanford Kings Speedway. K&N supported racer Cody Swanson had three top five finishes and was second overall in points.

“I was really looking forward to this week,” said Swanson. “I knew that we would have to be at the top of our game.” Swanson drove well at Perris and brought home a solid third place finish. At Ventura, the GOODWINE glass, K&N Filters, Lucas Oil Ford Focus midget finished 5th place. “We started the main in the 8th position and worked our way up through traffic,” said Swanson. “It is tough to pass the other cars on this particular track.”

The Swanson Motorsports Team headed into the final race of the series at Kings Speedway in Hanford, California. Swanson was tied for 3rd in points. The starting lineup was set by qualifying times and the top six cars were inverted for the main event.
“My dad and I discussed strategy concerning playing the inversion,” said Swanson. “I decided I didn’t want to play the games and wanted to go for it. We ended up with the fast time of 11.392 on the second lap.” In the main, Swanson was able to wind his way through traffic and bring home another solid third place finish and took second place in points in the three races series championship.
“K&N performed as expected, perfectly,” said Kirk Swanson, Cody’s father. “We use K&N air filters, breather filters and oil filters on our USAC Ford Focus midget. K&N is easy to service and provides long life and protection for our engines. K&N has sponsored and supported us since Cody’s early race days in karts.”
Swanson will race again the first week of September in Hanford, California at Kings Speedway.

Forrest Wang is now known as one of the elite drivers in the D1 Grand Prix drifting series. However, this Hawaii native hasn't always lived the lifestyle of a professional racecar driver. In fact, he had to be extremely resourceful during his humble beginnings on the island of Oahu. It all started his sophomore year in high school when Forrest's passion for cars was sparked. Forrest and his friends would cruise the island looking for places to drift. They would locate open fields, gravel lots and abandoned pineapple roads to slide around.

As performance parts became more available on the island, Forrest and his friends started modifying their cars in hopes of gaining extra horsepower. One of their favorite pastimes also became watching Japanese drifting videos. As time went on, Forrest honed his skill set in drifting and looked to compete on a national level.
In order to be a competitive opponent in a national drifting series, Forrest had to first build a durable racecar. His vehicle of choice was a Nissan S13 with a Japanese SR20 powerplant. To increase the power output, Forrest turned to Full-Race Motorsports out of Phoenix, Arizona. Full-Race outfitted the S13 with their SR20DET twinscroll GT30R turbo package upping the horsepower to the 400-whp mark.
To ensure that the high-horsepower engine could breathe and filter the incoming airflow properly, Forrest installed a K&N high-performance air filter. In addition to the air filter, Forrest also opted for a K&N Wrench-Off Oil Filter for
high oil flow, durability and filtration. "K&N was the brand of my first intake and I have their filters on all my cars, so naturally I turned to K&N for my racecar as well." says Forrest.
With the support of a few sponsors, Forrest is now involved in many facets of drift. He takes time to instruct amateurs at Vegas Drift, the Las Vegas Drifting Community. He also races in select amateur events as well as on a professional level in the D1 Grand Prix series. For the 2009 season, Forrest focused his efforts to make an impact in the D1GP series.
With three D1 events down and one more to go, Forrest has demonstrated his drifting proficiency and landed himself the fourth overall position in points in a group of seasoned US and Japanese drivers. To further reinforce his status, Forrest has been dubbed "D1's Rising Contender" on the D1GP website.
To recap Forrest's successes in the D1 Grand Prix series, lets take a look at the first three events. The D1GP season kicked off at the Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. At this event, Forrest charged hard and landed a solid qualifying position. At the end of the race, Forrest was pitted against Nobushige Kumakubo of Team Orange. The race against Kumakubo was extremely close, the crowd and judges called for two OMTs (One More Time). Forrest fought off Kumakubo as best as he could and secured the 3rd place podium finish.
The second round of the D1 series took place at The Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Forrest had his eyes set on another podium finish and established his spot in the Top 16 by qualifying in the 5th position. With on-and-off rain at this event, Forrest wished for the best as the first race of eliminations began. Upon the initiation of the drift on his first run, Forrest broke an axle. Unfortunately, Forrest couldn't repair the axle within the allotted time and was given the last place finish, only brining home one point for this event.
At the third round of racing held at the Soldier Field raceway in Chicago, Illinois, Forrest ran into some tough luck on Friday's practice session. A broken transmission seemed to end his weekend of drifting. However, Simba from the Touge Factory came through in a major way, picking up a transmission and helping with the swap. In order to keep the transmission intact for competition, Forrest drove conservatively during qualifying but ended up qualifying 2nd! After a number of match ups, Forrest found himself in the finals against Ken "Nomuken" Nomura (one of D1's top Japanese drifters). In a heated battle, Forrest walked away with a 2nd place podium finish, earning valuable points towards the championship.
Currently, Forrest holds the fourth overall points standing and is in the running for the 2009 D1GP championship. This is a huge feat considering that he only received one point for the second round in Florida. With one more race left in the series to determine the winner, Forrest is gearing up for the Season Finale in Englishtown, New Jersey on September 5th.
York, South Carolina native Chris Steele etched his name in the record books at East Lincoln Speedway in Stanley, North Carolina. He captured the $1,500 win in Chevrolet’s Hot Summer Nights Round 2.

Racers Jordan Alexander and Jon Thornburg shared the front row with Steele at the start of the 25 lap GM Performance Late Model main event. Thornburg bolted to the front from the pole position and Alexander took second place. Steele started fourth and patiently worked his way past Alexander and began to challenge second place racer Gary Puckett.

Steele made the move to second place on lap 16 and set his sights on Thornburg. “I stayed glued to the inside of the speedway as Jon motored around the middle of the track,” he said. “Jon slipped off turn four and I moved into the lead.”
Steele stayed in first place until a late caution bunched the field with only two laps to go. On the restart Steele drove away as Alexander tried to move past Thornburg for second place. “Both of them raced door to door into turn three on the final lap and they made contact,” said Steele. “Both cars went spinning. Alexander did two 360 degree spins as Puckett and the rest of the field took evasive action.”
In the end it was Steele winning over Puckett, Josh Harwell, Alexander and Mike Walker. “Our late model car performs so well because of the K&N products we have been using for the past 5 years,” said Steele. “K&N gives us more horsepower to our engine that cannot be gained in any other way.”
