Rally America Team Moves up to 2nd Place in Points Chase in Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X

The Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally took place in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania and driver Andrew “ACP” Comrie-Picard faced a series of big challenges on the rugged course.

“It was a tough weekend for us,” said Comrie-Picard. “But every point counts in this Rally Championship Series and we’re in it for the season.”

ACP and co-driver Marshall Clarke fought back from 31st place after a rollover crash to finish the Rally Race in 13th place. The result also gave them the handful of points they needed to climb up one spot to 2nd place overall in the tight championship series.

“Marshall and I were actually able to roll the car back onto its wheels and keep going,” said Comrie-Picard. “It was a soft rollover and with a new windshield, the car came back to 100 percent. But, we lost a lot of time.”

The Susquehannock Trail event is known as one of the toughest on the Rally America calendar and the team was not alone with its problems. Factory-backed Travis Pastrana lost a minute on the first day to a suspension failure and Polish racer Andi Mancin battled brake issues. The Swedish World Rally Team of Patrik Sandell and Emil Axelsson were out with a blown engine the first day.

The Rally America national championship includes nine events in a cross-continent season that extends from January to late October. The Canadian Rally Championship has six events from coast to coast. Team ACP Rally will contest a busy season with Rally events on both sides of the Canada and United States borders.

Team ACP Rally uses K&N products, such as K&N Filters. “I’ve used K&N since I began Rally racing more than a decade ago,” said Comrie-Picard. “We do the most extreme things we can do in a car and K&N is the perfect formula for our turbo charged motors. There is no compromise with K&N which protects our engines from road debris.”

The next United States event for the team will be the X Games in Los Angeles, California. ACP’s Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX rally car made headlines at the 2008 X-Games after flipping end over end in a spectacular crash. Neither Comrie-Picard nor his co-driver Jen Horsey was hurt.

The K&N ATV air filter is washable and reusable and provides excellent filtration. It is also pre-oiled and ready for installation. There is a powder coated aluminum heat shield assembly which helps prevent rust and corrosion as it isolates the K&N air filter from the engine compartment and allows it to receive a consistent flow of fresh air.

A built-in vent fitting allows the crankcase to dissipate the extra heat and oils which are generated from crankcase pressure.

Each intake system is sold complete, with mounting hardware and hose connectors included.  A black K&N DryCharger filter wrap, part number RC-4630DK is also included for increased protection in wet conditions and and to provide longer service intervals in extremely dusty conditions. Fuel management modifications are not necessary to obtain increased performance.

The 63-1124 is covered by the K&N Limited Warranty for one year.  Installation can be performed in 90 minutes or less. Take a look at our 63-1124 installation video to see the steps involved.

The 2009 NHRA K&N Horsepower Challenge will be contested next weekend at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio.

The top eight Pro Stock drivers who accumulated the most points while qualifying during the 23-race NHRA series will have a shot at a big purse. The winner of the bonus event will earn $50,000 along with a championship ring and a trophy. The runner-up will pocket $10,000 and two semifinalists will receive $3,000 each. The four first round finishers will each earn $2,500.

Three-time Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson leads the pack and will take the top spot in the 2009 K&N Horsepower Challenge. He accumulated the most points while qualifying. Mike Edwards is in second place, followed by Allen Johnson, Jason Line, Kurt Johnson, Jeg Coughlin, Warren Johnson and Ron Krisher.

The Pro Stock class is about the delivery of air flow. K&N is in a class of its own when it comes to hood scoops. “K&N has worked hard to create new technology for the NHRA Pro Stock category,” said K&N Vice President of Research and Development Steve Williams. “We have an K&N Pro Stock Intake System available for the world’s fastest hot rods and we are putting up the money to see who is really the fastest.”

K&N has also developed racing filters for every form of racing in the world. K&N air filters are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration.

In 2008, Allen Johnson put a perfect light on the board (.000) and beat Greg Anderson on a hole shot to take home the K&N Horsepower Challenge title along with the $50,000. “We appreciate the opportunity to qualify in the 2009 K&N Horsepower Challenge,” said Anderson. “Everything from K&N works great.”

Anderson is hoping for a reversal of fortune in 2009. “How can anyone win without K&N,” said Anderson. “We all use K&N products out here and are proud to do it. The K&N Pro Stock Intake System is important to the Pro Stock category. It’s a big advantage to get the maximum amount of air to the engine in this class.”

First round pairings for the 2009 K&N Horsepower Challenge are:

Greg Anderson vs. Ron Krisher
Mike Edwards vs. Warren Johnson
Allen Johnson vs. Jeg Coughlin
Jason Line vs. Kurt Johnson
