The European Rally School and Motorsport Park may be the most complete motorsport facility in the United States. It is located in North Central Florida and offers high performance driving, ATV rider courses, Rally Driving and SUV driving courses among others.
The European Rally School and Motorsports Park is based in North Central Florida and is laid out with a European design for High Performance Driving, Rally Driving and SUV Driving among others
The European Rally School and Motorsports Park flies K&N flags all over its facility
Ivor and Anita Wigham own the school. The couple moved to Florida from England nearly two decades ago and both Rally Raced. "We came out to the United States to take a look around and we took the chance and moved," said Wigham. "We now have 50 vehicles, six full-time instructors and 20 part-time instructors."
The school's ATV three mile Safari course has 70 obstacles and are designed for Military Special Forces groups
ATV courses at the school offer all aspects of riding up to very advanced levels
"K&N is good for our business," said Wigham. "K&N is a very good product and we love the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. We get extra filtration, more power and K&N is cost effective because K&N lasts."
The European Rally School and Motorsport Park also has an ATV Safari course. It is a three mile custom built course that expands through the Florida wilderness. The track also features a variety of obstacles as log piles, jumps, bomb holes, very steep climbs, extreme washboards and a lot more.
"We provide ATV training for the military," said Wigham. "We have terrain, obstacles and water crossings that replicate situations our soldiers might face in Afghanistan. We also do night training. There is a correct way and an incorrect way to ride an ATV going over a huge mountain and we provide that knowledge."
The Wigham’s fly K&N flags all over their facility and hand out K&N literature to people that attend their classes. Their new 2.0 mile 16 paved road course has elevation changes, cambered turns, crests and blind corners. "From Vintage racing to Rally driving to Performance we can accommodate most people," said Wingham. "Racing is an excellent stress reliever."
The Subaru Impreza WRX STI is the highest standard edition in the Subaru compact car line. It is made in Japan and popular in Europe, Malaysia, Australia and Singapore.

K&N 57A-6044 Performance Induction Kit for a range of 2007 - 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX and H4 makes and models
K&N has designed a new performance air induction kit (57A-6044) for a wide range of models in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Subaru Impreza line
with a 2.5 liter engine. See the complete vehicle list below.
The custom design of the
57A-6044 is made using K&N’s Apollo air filter enclosure along with a K&N air filter. The Apollo’s protective shell provides the benefits of an open cone filter and
standard air box in one unit.
The K&N performance air intake system comes with adaptors to fit the Subaru Impreza. By using a CNC mass air sensor pad, K&N keeps your Subaru
running within the factory settings. The
57A-6044 also provides excellent filtration and additional power to the engine.
The removable cold air feed attachment on the Apollo allows outside air to enter the unit. Zip ties are also provided to secure the hose in position. It takes about 90 minutes or less to
install this kit using simple hand tools. The
57A-6044 also comes with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
The BMW Euro-spec 3 series name does not have anything to do with its engine size. The 318 and 320 cars have 2.0 liter four-cylinder engines. There are also the 118 and 120 models which are designed to hold their own on European roads.
K&N 57-0648-1 Performance Air Induction Kit for a wide range of 2004 - 2011 BMW 2.0 liter four cylinder models

The K&N air induction kit is equipped with a washable and reusable chrome top replacement air filter. The K&N air filter feeds air into the engine for an increase in power and excellent filtration. The
57-0648-1 is designed to free your vehicle from much of the original air box restriction.
Custom mounting hardware is included with the air intake kit to fit your BMW. The hardware keeps the K&N air filter firmly in place. The flexi cold air hose is fed down to the lower under tray and secured below the headlamp with a tie. The rubber filter adapter goes onto the intake side of the MAS. K&N cold air intakes are easy to assemble, usually in 90 minutes or less and come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

Factory Aprilia Millennium Technologies Team Rider Chaz Davies scored a fourth place finish at Barber Motorsports Park and was only .027 of a second off the podium
Ben Thompson finished sixth and Chaz Davies finished fourth in the Daytona SportBike Series Race. Davies qualified in third position after a fast lap in Superpole. Thompson qualified in his best starting position of the year in fourteenth position.

The first day of competition was difficult for the Factory Aprilia Team. Davies crashed when a rider in front of him dragged dirt on the track with his knee. Davies picked up his RSV1000R and continued the race. He finished in 28th place and managed to turn the fastest lap of the race. Thompson finished 19th.
The next day riders and fans faced tornados and thunderstorms. The AMA managed to get in three races during a break in the weather. Race Day Two began with a wet but drying track. Davies and Thompson had great starts and Davies was in immediate contention for the lead. Thompson raced through the field well into the top ten.
The Aprilia RSV1000R's are equipped with K&N air and oil filters. “We use K&N on everything we build,” said Team Manager Chip Spalding. “K&N protects our engines from track debris.”
“The team took advantage of the short three week break between rounds and made huge improvements to the Aprilia RSV1000R,” said Davies. “We had a podium finishing bike both days but we just did not have the right circumstances.”
The Spokane Humane Society in Washington made an alliance with mud racers for the love of animals. “Bogs for Dogs” is a benefit race where a community came together for a day.

Mud racing combines track motorsports and off-road racing. Racers compete in heads-up action to see who can go the fastest in 200 feet. They traverse through a mud track filled with pits and holes that can be three feet deep in places.

The Bogs for Dogs race started on a field behind the Spokane Humane Society. A local construction company donated an excavator to get the track ready, announcers donated their time and racers came to compete for bragging rights and a trophy. The price of admission went to the dogs.
“We have two dogs along with two rabbits and I love animals and I love mud racing,” said Sam Thomas of Kettle Falls, Washington. “I competed in the Open Class at the Bogs for Dogs event.”
“Bogs for Dogs” follows National Mud Racing Organization rules. “Think of it this way,” said Thomas. “The NHRA has brackets and we have classes based on vehicle modifications. We went 200 feet in 2.8 seconds. I just press on the gas and hold on for dear life. If you’re fast enough the dirt all goes behind you.”
Thomas raced his 357 cubic inch small block Chevy against a 540 Ford, a 572 Dart big block Chevy and a 502 big block Chevy. “I beat them all even though they had bigger engines,” he said. “My car has a fantastic set up. I race in NMRO sanctioned races throughout the Pacific Northwest. In 2008 I competed in 60 rounds and won 57.”
In his spare time, Thomas is a locomotive diesel technician. He knows his engines and chooses K&N as his filter of choice. “K&N gives my engines the additional filtration and power they need on and off the track,” he said. “K&N also protects my engines from track debris.”
Thomas's next official NMRO event will be in Longview, Washington. In the meantime, if the Humane Society calls he will be there again for the animals.
