K&N presented a San Gabriel High School senior with a scholarship during the Alhambra Unified School District's 42nd Annual Automotive Technicians' Awards Banquet.
K&N Scholarship presented to San Gabriel High School student Steven Loc by K&N's Steve Gibson and Instructor Eli Jaramillo
School administrators, school board members, automotive instructors, and parents gathered to honor the achievements of the automotive technology students from Alhambra High School, Mark Keppel High School, and San Gabriel High School. The banquet has become a tradition in the Alhambra Unified School District. Local car dealerships, repair, and collision shops, automotive colleges, and members of the automotive aftermarket show support for the students by donating door prizes, tools, equipment, and even scholarship money so that they may continue pursuing a career in the automotive industry.
K&N's Steve Gibson attended the awards banquet to present a $500 scholarship to San Gabriel High student Steven Loc on behalf of K&N Engineering. "It was difficult to decide who to award the scholarship to," said Gibson. "We wanted to choose a student who showed that their love for working on cars was more than a skill, it was a passion. In working with the district and the instructors from the three high schools, we were able to narrow it down to Mr. Loc. We made the right choice."
The students were also able to hear a speech by guest speaker Mike Spagnola, CEO of Street Scene Industries, and Dave McClelland, the voice of NHRA. Spagnola is an alumni of San Gabriel High School, and himself received an award at this same banquet when he was a high school senior. McClelland has been the banquet's Master of Ceremonies for nearly 40 years. Both men encouraged the students to keep learning and keep growing. "There are so many doors that will open for you," said Spagnola. "You are truly in the right place at the right time."
All scholarships presented at the banquet allow the recipient to use to attend the college, university, or trade school of their choice. "It's great to be able to support school programs like the ones in the Alhambra Unified School District," said Gibson. "These students are tomorrow's automotive technicians and service advisors, and for K&N to be an active sponsor of their education, it makes you feel very proud."

The Wicked Racing Team is ready for the 2009 United States Sprint Boat Association Racing Series. The Number 10 Wicked Racing Team earned the National Finalist Championship win in 2009.

The official season starts on June 20th in St. John, Washington at the Webb’s Slough Track, but Dan Morrison and Doug Hendrickson could not wait to hit the water. The duo went to a non-sanctioned USSBA event at Firebird Raceway in Chandler, Arizona.

“We were the fastest on the track,” said Dan Morrison. “Our boats are running flawless again this year.” Jet Sprint Boat racing is unique. Drivers and their navigators compete in water channels that are only three feet deep and 15 feet wide. They also have to right corner at least 32 times in less than a minute and pull 7 G-Forces.
The event is also about memorizing a course. Organizers give the racers a look at the track on paper a day before the event. They get to walk around the course, but the first time the boats go out, it’s a race. There are no test runs, arrows or flags, just a maze of islands that have to be raced from memory.
“The Arizona race was great fun,” said Morrison. “We raced once on Friday, three times on Saturday and twice on Sunday. It was also great to be in front of a big crowd.”
Morrison has a NASCAR motor in a super light weight crank. His motor is strong enough to run at 8500 rpm’s all day, but they keep it down to 7000 rpm’s to maximize the efficiency of their jet pumps. “We use K&N air and oil filters,” he said. “K&N is the reason we’re in the Winner’s Circle. K&N protects our engines and gives us additional horsepower when we race.”
The Wicked Team won at Chandler, Arizona and the team plans to be top contenders in each class in 2009.
The Rally American National Championship Series continued at the Oregon Trail Rally. Driver Andrew Comrie-Picard (ACP) and the NOS Energy Mitsubishi with K&N products were aggressive and finished fourth. ACP maintains a top three position overall in the Rally America Championship points chase.

APC and co-driver Robbie Durant were one second off the overall lead but a flat tire cost them. They were at the mid-point in the three-day event and the duo fought hard to regain position. The final results put ACP six seconds between second and fourth place at the conclusion of the event.

“We were definitely on the pace for the win and could have taken it without that puncture,” said Comrie-Picard. “But the championship standings are very close and we expect to be back in the lead after the next round.” Comrie-Picard and Durant went into the event leading the Rally America Series.
Subaru Rally Team USA driver Travis Pastrana took the win, Rockstar Energy’s Tanner Foust was second and Polish driver Andi Mancin finished third to score his first U.S. podium.
“This was the first event this season that we didn’t make the podium and that is a disappointment,” said Comrie-Picard. “The competition is amazing and I have to hand it to Andi Mancin, he drove a great race.”
The Oregon Trail Rally took place over 100 miles of competition on a course that includes a mix of twisty, hard packed forest conditions and wide open farming roads. The Mount Hood area’s hilly terrain meant a lot of elevation changes throughout the contest. The conditions were sunny and bright, making for dry and dusty roads and a visibility challenge for teams.
Team ACP Rally uses K&N Engineering products, such as the racing air fillters, on their vehicles. “I’ve used K&N since I began Rally racing more than a decade ago,” said Comrie-Picard. “We compete under tough conditions, with dust, mud and water splashes. We do the most extreme things we can do in a car and K&N is the perfect formula for our turbo charged motors. There is no compromise with K&N.”
Next, the team heads north for Round 2 of the Canadian Rally Championship, the Rocky Mountain Rally on May 29-30. Team ACP then heads back to the United States in June for the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally in Pennsylvania.
