The event included a rock race, 4X4 mud bog and trail rides. The
competition started in the late afternoon and finished under the lights of the
Sevier County Fair.

“The mud bog was separate from the rock race,” said Craig Stumph. “Sixty
competitors entered the event and the atmosphere was filled with
electricity.”
Mike won the rock racing unlimited stock class in one-minute four-seconds. “That was the
best time on the 1/8 mile course,” said Stumph. “There was a wall of logs on the
extreme course. Each
log was the size of a telephone pole and they were stacked with dirt in between
each log. Mike hit it hard and just right to go right over it. He just punched
it.”
The Stumph family uses K&N Engineering Products. “The K&N Air and Oil Filters
work great in this kind of dirty racing environment,’ said Stump.

The Ford introduced its all new Fusion in 2006 as a midsized sedan. The 2007 models come standard with side impact and curtain airbags, an upgrade over 2006.
K&N Engineering has designed a High-Flow Intake System (69-3514TTK) in textured black for the 2006 to 2012 Ford Fusion with a 2.3 liter engine. K&N dynamometer tests show a 6.05 horsepower gain at 4200 rpm.

The heat shield is engineered to allow the continued use of the factory fresh air duct. It also isolates the oversized round tapered K&N High-Flow Air Filter (RU-4960) from engine bay heat. In addition to increasing power the K&N Air Intake system is designed to increase filtering capacity and improve throttle response.
As air passes the filter, it travels through the textured black aluminum tube that is attached to the throttle body. This K&N Air Intake keeps all factory vacuum operated emissions controls operational. The K&N intake tube has a fitting for the factory air injection hose which hooks up to the air injection pump, a factory emissions control device. It takes about 90 minutes to install this K&N Air Intake. It is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

“I have struggled this year with mechanical gremlins and several injuries,” said
Crump. “I have not given up yet. I know I need more points and I will be racing
for the win on Saturday. If I can get good results at the final four Grand
Prix’s then I am still have a good chance to finish in the top two. It’s not
over.”
With only four rounds of the series to go, the Australian Ace is planning to
close in on the current leaders. . “I love K&N products, the K&N Filters are the
best in the world,” said Crump. “I have solely used K&N products and never had a

The Nissan 240SX entered the 1990s with an edge that put it near the top of the
entry-level sport coupe market. Japanese automakers put in rear-wheel drive which
spiked performance reviews including sharp and balanced handling. Nissan stopped
importing the 240SX to our shores by the end of the 90s, but there are many on
the road today.
Air Intake for Nissan 240SX
K&N Engineering has designed a High-Flow Air Intake System (69-7076TS)
in silver for the 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 Nissan 240SX 2.4 liter engine. K&N
dynamometer testing shows a 4.94 horsepower gain @ 4471 RPM. K&N Engineering's
air intake design has lower restriction than the factory air box system
resulting in an immediate power gain.

With the use of the factory Mass Air Flow Sensor, custom radius filter
adapter and a K&N High Flow Air Filter (RU-4600)
non-turbulent air flow is provided into the free flowing mandrel bent aluminum
intake tube.
The K&N Air Filter is located next to the hole in the fender which provided
fresh air to the O/E system. This allows the K&N Air Filter to receive a
consistent flow of fresh cool air. In addition, the heat shield isolates the K&N
Air Filter from the engine compartment.
K&N engineers took special care to ensure that it followed the Nissan's lines
and that it did not obstruct or rub against other parts in the engine.
The
69-7076TS is designed to improve engine performance and is easy to
install, usually in
90 minutes or less. K&N Air Intake Systems come with the famous Million
Mile Limited Warranty.

given the opportunity to test out a new form of Open-wheel machinery at
Irwindale Speedway in California.

Three teams from the Ford Focus Midget Series, Maier Racing/K&N Filters,
Western Speed Racing and Wally Pankratz Racing provided 100 laps with full crew
in race ready, 185 horsepower Ford Focus Midget cars for Cory Pollack, Jacob
Neal and Nick Johnston.

The three drivers were selected because of their accomplishments in the Snap-On
Stars of Karting program organized by series sponsor K&N Filters. Ultimately up
to 21 drivers will have an opportunity to receive a test drive in the Ford Focus
Midget cars courtesy of Maier Racing, Wally Pankratz Racing, Western Speed
Racing, Beast Racing, Ron Suttton Winner’s Circle, Richard Petty Drive
Experience and Cory Kruseman Racing.
K&N Filters has entered the sport of karting this season with a new
CIK-FIA approved
K&N airbox (RK-1000)
which is legal in all classes of the Snap-On Stars of Karting presented by
IndyCar Series.
“K&N likes the idea of getting young drivers enthusiastic about motorsports and
the variety that comes with it,” said K&N Sports Marketing Director Charles
Maier. “The USAC Ford Focus racing series is a blast to drive in and relatively
affordable. I personally transitioned from karting to midgets and think that it is
wonderful that K&N allows me to share the seat time with kids eager to learn
about the next step. Knowledge is a key component. The Ford Focus series is a
bit more money, marketing, power/engine, travel and organizing to participate.
On these test days the young drivers get a chance to see how involved the
program really is.”
Jacob Neal enjoyed his experience at Irwindale. “When I got the opportunity, I
was excited about what it would be like,” said Neal. Western Speed Racing helped
me understand what the midget car would feel like and how to drive it. I had a
blast.” The 16-year-old from Wildomar, California has raced for 5 years. "This
was a whole different type of racing. The laps helped me decide which direction
to go in my future. Midgets are fast and there is lots of acceleration. I really
enjoyed it."
Nick Johnston has been racing for 10 years. The 17-year-old for Northridge,
California said he learned a lot. “I did well,” he said. “I learned a lot and
the cars are fun to drive.” Johnston has several championships on his racing
resume and is currently up for a chance to compete in the 2007 Rotax World
Finals at Dubai, Saudi Arabia. “I use K&N Filters,” said Johnston. “K&N works
the best and keeps the dirt out of my engines.”
Series Marketing Director Jeff Swoboda was thrilled with the first testing round
at Irwindale. “It was very satisfying to see these three drivers getting
strapped into the cars for the first time,” he said. “The smiles on their faces
said it all.”
The Snap-On Stars of Karting presented by IndyCar Series will have its next
event September 14-16 at Moran Raceway in Beaumont, California. The race will
serve as the West Division Finale and will tee up divisional champions to head
off to the Desert MINI of Las Vegas National Finals October 19-21 at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway.
