Double World Speedway Grand Prix Champion Jason Crump took fourth place at Malilla in Sweden and missed out on a podium position at the Scandinavian Grand Prix.

The Australian racer scored consistently during the heat races. Crump racked up points and qualified for the semi-finals, but his placement in the semi cost him a vital choice of gates for the final. He was forced to take the only gate left, which was not the perfect choice.

There are four riders in each race during eliminations. Gates one and two are on the inside, gates three and four are on the outside. The racers who win the semi and have the most points have first choice of gates. Crump had to take one of the outside gates. If he had won his semi he would have had first choice of gates which could have made the difference in winning the event.
“Getting first or second choice of gates for the final gives you a much better chance of winning then getting the gate the others didn’t want,” said Crump. “I’m not making excuses. I need to win more races if I’m going to be World Champion again. I have a tough challenge ahead of me and challenges are what I thrive on.”
Crump’s fellow countrymen Leigh Adams and Dane Hans Anderson charged into the lead in the final. Adams took the win, Anderson took second and Nicki Pedersen
of Denmark took third.
“I’m disappointed with my fourth place performance,” said Crump. “The gap for the championship points lead grew to 17 and there are only four Grand Prix’s left in the season. Leigh rode well and deserved the win.” Crump is currently second overall in the 2008 World Championship standings.
Crump is a 16-time Grand Prix winner. He has used K&N Engineering products during his entire racing career. “K&N makes the best filter on the market,” he said. “Under extreme track conditions K&N keeps the dirt out of my motorcycle engines. I can also depend on extra filtration and additional horsepower every time I race.”
The next round of the World Speedway Grand Prix Championship Series will take place at Daugavpils in Latvia.
Performance Air Intake System for 2006 to 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser
K&N Performance Air Intake replaces restrictive stock configuration
Dyno chart for Chrysler PT Cruiser
When introduced in 2000 the Chrysler PT Cruiser was a whirlwind success. Timeless styling combined with modern convenience has created a fanatic following that transcends generations as well as gender. For the 2006 to 2008 model year the PT Cruiser received a number of updates both aesthetically and under the hood. This included a new performance based turbocharged engine tuned to deliver 230 horsepower. The PT Cruisers' fan base, hungry for more performance, will certainly be satisfied with K&N Engineering's Performance Air Intake System (57-1551) for the 2006 to 2008 PT Cruiser 2.4L Turbo.
"The electronic components under the hood were repositioned with the new design of the PT Cruiser," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "K&N developed a new heat shield for this particular engine and redesigned the tube accordingly."
K&N tests, on our in house dynamometer, have shown a horsepower gain of 12.13 @ 5086 RPM with the K&N 57-1551 Air Intake. K&N Engineers were able to provide such impressive horsepower gains because the original factory airbox and original filter were restrictive, said Heck. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow while providing outstanding filtration. This means engine protection with more power and torque when you need it.
This air intake system uses a conical shaped carbon fiber top high-flow air filter (RP- 4660). The carbon fiber top filter is used to add to the appeal of the PT Cruiser. This air filter captures harmful particles, provides more surface area, flows more air, and increases service life. It also performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the motor is the rotationally-molded high-density polyethylene tube. It offers the most flexibility in design and outstanding horsepower numbers. "It's a very straight forward installation" according to Heck and it takes about 90 minutes or less to install this system with simple tools. It is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty™ and is street legal in all 50 US states.
The 2007 Honda Civic Type R has had tremendous success since it first became available. The Type R Civic improved aerodynamics helps the car cut through the air easily.
K&N Performance Intake Kit for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Honda Civic Type R with a 2.0 liter engine
K&N Engineering has unveiled a low cost performance air induction system (57A-6040) to improve the power of the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Honda Civic Type R with the 2.0 liter engine. With the addition of K&N's Apollo air protective filter enclosure and a washable reusable K&N air filter, air entering the engine will flow freely. The custom design eliminates problems caused by hot air and feeds cooler outside air into the engine.
The Apollo also provides the benefits of an open cone filter and a standard air box in one unit. The cold air feed attachment is removable and allows outside air to be fed into the unit. Zip ties are provided to secure the cold air hose.
The original air box on the 2007 Honda Civic Type R restricts air flow into the engine. The 57A-6040 will free your vehicle from much of this restriction. It will also provide power with excellent filtration. It can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less and is backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
The 2008 Mini Cooper has a distinctive boxy shape that is easy to maneuver through traffic. Its British inspired design also makes it simple to park in very tight spaces. The base model is a 1.6 liter coupe with a 4 cylinder engine.
K&N Performance Intake Kit 69-2022TS for the 2007 through 2010 Mini Cooper 1.6 liter engine (EU)
K&N has released a new performance air intake system (69-2022TS) for the 2007 through 2010 Mini Cooper with a 1.6 liter engine.
By replacing your factory air intake assembly with K&N's air intake kit your
engine will get more air with less restriction. This means more power and torque when you need it.
The 69-2022TS uses a conical shaped chrome top high-flow air filter and a powder coated silver intake tube designed to improve the air path from the filter to the motor. The aluminum heat shield protects the K&N washable and reusable air filter from engine heat for additional performance. The K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions.
Simply remove the intake snorkel from the resonator box on your Mini Cooper then remove the complete air box assembly
and replace it with the K&N air intake assembly. The 69-2022TS does not fit U.S. vehicles. It can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less. It is also backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
The K&N 69-2022TS air intake system fits the following Mini Coopers:
2010 Mini Cooper Clubman 1.6L L4 F/I - w/ Manual Trans.

On Saturday, Kyle LeDuc, a former Pro Lite champion, proved he could make the transition to the heavier and faster Pro 4 class. “We’re fast and we’re up front with the leaders,” said team founder Curt LeDuc. “We’re going to be a threat the rest of the season.”
At the start of the Pro 2 field, Todd LeDuc moved from fifth on the grid to second after only two laps. He took the lead briefly on lap 13 before Rob MacCachren passed him to win. They finished one-two and LeDuc moved up one spot to second in the point standings. “It was a great race,” said Todd LeDuc. “I was driving smart and a little conservative.”
In Sunday’s Pro 4 race, Rick Huseman took the lead from pole sitter Curt LeDuc at lap two. Kyle LeDuc eventually moved into second place. He took over first after Rick Huseman was shown the black flag for what race officials felt was rough driving. Two laps later, Kyle slowed down on the back stretch. His car had a broken rear driveshaft.
The race continued and Scott Douglas took the lead with Curt LeDuc in pursuit. At Turn 5 Curt LeDuc was shown the black flag. “Carl Rendezer checked up,” said Curt LeDuc. “I expected him to be gone by the time I got there and he wasn’t. I touched him, so I got a black flag and pulled off.” Curt LeDuc pulled into the pits on the final lap and finished eighth. Kyle LeDuc finished ninth. “It would have been nice to back up my win on Saturday,” he said. “What can you do? We can’t stop now."
“We use K&N air and oil filters on and off the track,” said Curt LeDuc. “We can always count on the reliability of K&N products.”
Rockstar Makita Team LeDuc is looking ahead to the next event in Chula Vista, California on September 13-14.
