Team Renezeder Chases World Title at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway

Carl Renezeder is after another world champion title in Wisconsin at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway. In four consecutive seasons, Renezeder has walked away from the famous Labor Day event with a Champions Ring; three in the Pro-4 division and one in the Pro-2 division. Renezeder was also the winner of the coveted BorgWarner Cup in 2004.

This coming holiday, the CORR Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Championship Series racer hopes to add another win to his collection. “How can you not love Crandon,” said Renezeder. “As a driver it combines the X and Y factors: speed and technical sections, with the Z factor: flying through the air. There’s no other rush quite like it.”

“Racers need guts, talent and endurance to win at Crandon. The land-rush start funnels into a four-wide, off camber, 100 mph, descending apex turn not meant for the faint of heart. The next 1.75 miles has jumps leading into turns that have broken many parts over the past few decades. There are also high-speed and hairpin turns that, when used correctly, provide several places to pass. If Renezeder races well for ten laps he may go home Sunday with a new Champions Ring, the BorgWarner hardware and lots of spending money.

Team Renezeder uses K&N Engineering products. “As always, all of the K&N products on our race trucks work flawlessly,” said Jennifer Bissett of American Flyer Racing. “Whether it’s the high-flow K&N Air Filter protecting Menards’s custom fuel injection system on our Nissan Titan Pro-2, or the K&N Oil Filter on our Lucas Oil Pro-4, K&N products are as reliable as our driver’s talent. We wouldn’t trust anything else under the hood.”

K&N Engineering, Inc. has made a 63 Series AirCharger Intake Kit (63-3056) for the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L L4. "It's the first time K&N has used an airbox in an intake kit," said Bert Heck, K&N Performance Kit Manger. "Designed for maximum air flow the unique airbox keeps the engine heat away from the open element air filter and provides a cooler air charge."

K&N tests have shown a horsepower gain of 9.33 @ 5325 RPM with the K&N (63-3056) Intake Kit. K&N Engineers were able to get such good horsepower because the original factory airbox and original filter were restrictive. The K&N Intake Tube design along with our K&N Filter with radius adaptor are big reasons why K&N was able to get so much power.

Bill Ferrell, an Upland, California resident bought a new HHR. He allowed K&N's Research and Development Engineers to use his Chevy as a prototype for the 63 Series AirCharger Intake Kit (63-3056). K&N Engineering has a vehicle loan program. "It works this way," said Heck. "A vehicle owner agrees to let us do testing on their vehicle. After K&N develops an intake, we give the owner a free kit for the use of the vehicle. In this case the MSRP of the intake is 399.00." For more information about loaning your vehicle for air intake development see the Vehicles Needed page.

"The HHR is a 4 cylinder, and when I bought it the car did not have a lot of pizzazz," said Ferrell. "Now that my HHR has the K&N AirCharger Intake Kit it has a lot of pizzazz. I can feel the power. It really is the difference between night and day."

K&N 63 Series Air Intake Kits use a round tapered universal Air Filter (RC-5149) that can fit into the engine compartment using factory holes and mounting points. It takes less than an hour to install this kit and the lifetime K&N Air Filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions.
