Australian Dirt Bike Racer Luke Gough Discovers Passion in Flat Track Racing

Hailing from Hilltop, Australia, Luke Gough has been racing since he was a young child. Beginning on a Yamaha PW 50 at the age of five, he raced motocross until he was 12. Bored and burned out on motocross, he quit riding. Watching a friend ride at a flat track race a few years later rekindled his passion for racing. He loved the speed and the sliding and soon began racing dirt track. It did not take Gough long to come up to speed as he finished 2nd in the 125cc national title in 2002.

He held the 450cc Australian Long Track title for three consecutive years from 2005 to 2007, and relinquished it only because his schedule in the states did not allow him to get home in time to defend his title for a fourth year. He is the only person to hold the title for that many consecutive years.

Speaking of stateside, his career highlights include a perfect weekend in Richwood, Ohio where he won eight out of eight races for the weekend, and Eddie Mulder's fall classic at Willow Springs in Rosamond, California, where he was the top placing 450cc motorcycle both days. Saturday he topped many larger motorcycles for a 3rd and Sunday saw him still top many larger bikes and finish an amazing fifth. During the event, he was invited to pilot a beautiful Steve Berg prepared Triumph winning the main on Saturday and leading the Sunday main when the primary drive belt stripped out.

In his first road race, in the pouring rain of Seattle, Gough finished fifth on a dead stock SV650 against much more experienced riders, many on highly modified SV650's. He has now competed in his first full year of competition in the AMA Pro Racing Flat Track Singles Series. In his rookie year, he was able to earn a coveted national number that many riders struggle for years to acquire.

At age 22, Luke Gough is one of the most hands on motorcycle racers you will ever meet. Trained as a fabricator and welder in Australia, if he is dissatisfied with any aspect of his race bikes, he simply rebuilds them himself to make the machine more competitive. From chassis to fuel tanks, wheels to custom exhaust systems, Luke has built them all.

"When it comes to my racing career, I will not settle for anything less than the best," says Gough. "If any part of my race bike is not perfect, I modify it until it is. Thanks to K&N, my filters are perfect right out of the box. I use K&N exclusively on both my CRF450 Honda singles race bike as well as my Suzuki SV650 based twins machine."

K&N's New 57S Performance Airbox Adds Power to Several Volkswagen, Seat, Audi and Skoda Models

K&N has developed a performance airbox system for a wide range of 2003 to 2013 Volkswagen, Seat, Audi and Skoda models found in Europe and around the globe.  See the complete list of vehicles below.  The 57S-9500 is fully compliant with the latest TUV emissions and sound regulations.  It was submitted for testing and certified before it was released by K&N.

K&N 57S-9500 Performance Intake Kit for a wide range of 2003 - 2013 Volkswagen, Seat, Audi and Skoda makes and models

The 57S-9500 increases horsepower and acceleration by reducing air flow restriction caused by the original factory design. Typical gains on a 4 cylinder vehicle range between 4 and 7 horsepower.  Simply replace the factory air filter housing with K&N's fully enclosed airbox.  It is injection molded for extra strength, consistency and durability.

The airbox assembly has a removable lid for easy access to a round tapered washable and reusable K&N air filter (RU-5061).  The design includes a custom engineered velocity stack (Velum) for smooth air flow. 

A typical installation can be done with a screwdriver, pliers and a ratchet set.  57S performance air boxes use factory holes as mounting points.  The 57S-9500 is pre assembled and custom designed to fit right into the engine compartment. The air box assembly is connected to the engine with adapters made from high strength materials. Put this all together and you’ll have a power adding TUV compliant high-flow intake system that will last for the life of your vehicle.

Instructions are included with each kit in several different languages. K&N air intake kits are easy to assemble, usually in 90 minutes or less and come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

McGrady qualified at 29 in a 32 car field and raced up to 15th place in his first 50 lap Late Model feature. The average speed over the weekend was around 93 mph. “But, they go faster,” said Kyle’s mother, Doreen McGrady. “The racing scares me to death. I never worry about Kyle, but I worry about the other guys on the track. We were hoping to make the race and bring the car home in one piece. Kyle got out there and impressed us his first time out in this series. Some people just have it and everyone says Kyle can race.”

The Hesperia, California resident is part of a very small group of young teenagers who can race mid to upper horsepower cars. He is also talented enough to win races on dirt and asphalt tracks. “We use K&N products, such as the air filters, in our race cars, tow vehicles and passenger cars,” said McGrady. “We are a big believer in K&N. K&N protects our engines and gives us extra horsepower and acceleration on and off the track. We are very proud to be associated with K&N.”

McGrady started racing at 8-years-old racing Jr. Speedway Sprints on dirt. At 10, he moved up to Mini-Stock cars and at 13 he started driving in the very competitive PRO-4 Division. “Kyle won Rookie-of-the-Year in 2006 in the Pro-4 Division,” said Doreen McGrady, Kyle’s mother. “He also finished 6th overall in points standings.”

This year McGrady will also compete at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale in the NASCAR Auto Club Series Rookie of the Year honors. His long term plans are to move up to the NASCAR Nationwide Series or the Craftsman Truck Series. In the meantime, he knows the importance of being in the National Honor Society and carries an A average in the classroom.

McGrady will race again at Irwindale on April 11.

The Stars of Monster Jam Rocked the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio

The weekend also included several wins by the K&N Ford Powered Black Stallion. The wheelie contest started things off at Wright State University. A bad hit tossed Vaters sideways, but he recovered.

The first round of racing featured a very close race between Iron Warrior and Avenger. The two fought a very close race, and Iron Warrior had the victory in his sight. The Avenger came out of nowhere and flew past the Iron Warrior for the finish. The officials reviewed the replay several times and decided Avenger took the win by inches. The Black Stallion squared off with Bad News and Bad News took the win in the first round.

In the doughnut competition, the concrete floor was a challenge for the drivers. “You would not think that a slippery floor would be a problem when the goal is to slide a 10,000 lb. monster truck around in circles,” said Vaters. “The reality is the trucks slide to one side or the other instead of settling into tight doughnuts.” A few of the drivers made a revolution and then had to stop for safety reasons. No one wanted to go out of bounds or slide into the race lane cars.

During the freestyle portion of the show Michael Vaters and the K&N Ford Powered Black Stallion finished off his run with a high flying leap that landed ten feet away from the center van stack. Vaters was in reverse the entire time. Grave Digger took the Freestyle win by one point over Black Stallion.

During the last show of the weekend, Vaters stood the K&N Ford Powered Black Stallion Straight up and down on the track. The fans in Dayton were not disappointed.
