The unpredictability's of racing can be brutal enough, toss in an aggravated mother nature and you get a season poxed with cancellations and inconsistencies. Miss Executif Racing and their UL-11 hydroplane just got back to racing a month ago after a cancellation back in June.
The UL-11 Power Punch Race Team/94Five Roxy/K&N Engineering hydroplane is declared winner of the Polson Regatta.
"The Missouri River was flooded," said team owner Darren Bartels. "There was a lot of debris in the river and our pit location was under nearly ten feet of water."
The weather related cancellation of the race in Chamberlain-Oacoma, South Dakota further shortened an already abbreviated race schedule. However, when UL-11 does race, it does very well thank you.
The UL-11 Power Punch Race Team/94Five Roxy/K&N Engineering, with the Local Support of Ricciardi's Italian Seafood House, was declared winner of the Polson Regatta in Polson, Montana. The team won both preliminary heats on Saturday earning 800 points, which turned out to be huge.
With local support of the race uncertain, ULHRA officials worked hard lobbying with the Confederated Kootenai/Salish Tribes and held the race on tribal land and water.
This however left the race course in more unprotected water, subject to high winds. The UL Final scheduled for Sunday was once again canceled due to weather, with winds gusting over 25 mph. With two teams tied at 800 points from Saturday's races, the tie-breaker was based on total points earned in 2009 and that put the UL-11 team on top.
"We really wanted to run the final," remarked Bartels. "Our belief is we would have done well enough to gain some points in the high point standings. We'll take the win, but we really wanted the opportunity to prove what we can do in competition." The win and the points moved Miss Executif Racing from fifth into fourth and within striking distance of second place according to Bartels.
"Consistency, or lack of it, has been the key all year long," explained Bartels. "We had a real bad weekend in the Tri-cities a month ago earning just 127 out of 1200 points available. Steering issues were our downfall that weekend. Otherwise we've been a strong contender. We got the second highest qualifying lap speed in Seattle three weeks ago, at over 108 mph and almost blew the boat over doing so."
The team won the heats on Saturday despite only running on seven cylinders. During an engine test on the trailer they discovered a rocker arm broken on the number seven cylinder "Luckily we had just got some spares and the other damage was minimal," added Bartels.
For rookie driver Kevin Eacret, This is the second win in four races this year, both called because of windy conditions.
"We know the boat can win, we have the power. We wanted nothing more than to run the final. That wind today was wicked, it just wouldn't have been safe. We'll just have to show them in San Diego next month." said Eacret.
"It just goes to show that preliminary heats are just as important as the final. Without strong showings early on we couldn't have taken the title at the end of the weekend," added Bartels.
On the schedule next is San Diego September 18 and 19. "Sponsorship issues with the event organizers may cause some issues there too," says Bartels. "In terms of races this year, it's been pretty dismal. It may be only four races of six we had scheduled. We went into this year expecting six to eight race weekends, but with Mother Nature and the economy playing their hand, we're pretty disappointed."
This was Frankoski's second podium at Hickory Motor Speedway this year, the first being a win at the USAC Ford Focus "Shootout."
"Yes, I am still working very hard to race," remarked the 24-year-old Huntersville, North Carolina driver. "The challenges I have been faced with are the same as they are for the majority of car owners in our area - it's not so much about hard work in the garage or even talent - it comes down to dollars. It is very difficult to stand out and get noticed. I just have to continue to out work, and out race, everyone when I get the opportunities."
Although Jeremy Frankoski hasn't been in a midget since April, he managed to out race nearly everyone, earning a second place finish at Hickory Motor Speedway.
Out work and out race is exactly what Frankoski did last weekend at Hickory Motor Speedway in Newton, North Carolina. This year marks the 59th season of competition at the .363 mile Hickory Motor Speedway bullring. The speedway has been labeled as the "Birthplace of the NASCAR Stars" and "America's Most Famous Short Track."
"I haven't been in a midget since April and this is a very competitive series here, said Frankoski. "So, it is difficult to just hop in the car and hope you can be as fast as the guys running all year. We had a lot of help in the shop setting the car up and the whole Brown and Miller Racing team really came through for me. We ended up finishing second out of 15 cars. I am very thankful that Wade Brown and Brad Noffsinger gave me a ride for that race."
Frankoski's season has been divided between midgets and NASCAR late model racing. He started the season strong with a USAC Ford Focus "Shootout" victory at Hickory Motor Speedway, driving for Brown and Miller Racing. Then it was back to focusing on the late model driving for Chad McCumbee Racing at Myrtle Beach Speedway.
"I had two top-five and four top-ten finishes in six starts," says Frankoski. "Then we raced in a big UARA touring event. We had to make a carb change after qualifying, so we had to start 27th out of 27 cars. By lap 90, out of 150, I was running in the seventh position and moving forward. Unfortunately we had battery problems and had to pull in. I believe we would have ended up in the top three. But, since that last race in the late model at the end of June, we were forced to sit out due to the lack of funding.
At his youthful age, Frankoski has already inked over 15 years of racing experience to his resume, and he's used only K&N products during each of those years.
"I use the K&N air filter, filter spray, and oil filters on my race cars. They are the only filters I trust to give me the performance and reliability needed to continually run up front!"
K&N Air Intake Installed on 2010 to 2015 Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser
Dyno Chart for 2010 to 2015 Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser
The 2010 to 2015 Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser represent a long legacy of tough, dependable, off-road performance. Still bearing strong family ties to their ancestors, both SUV's command attention with their sturdy body-on-frame construction and solid rear axle. Power generated by their mighty 4.0L V6 engines is put to the ground via large alloy wheels. Now, Toyota SUV enthusiasts can help their 4Runners and FJ Cruisers perform even better, thanks to K&N Engineering's latest air intake system.
K&N Air Intake System for 2010 to 2015 Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser
The K&N 77-9034KP intake system is designed to replace the factory air filter, air box, and air intake tube with components which are less restrictive, so that the vehicle's engine performs up to its full potential. Installation of the 77-9034KP is easy, and begins with the removal of the stock intake pieces. In their place go a brightly finished, mandrel-bent aluminum tube, and a large cone shaped air filter that can withstand the abuse of dust and dirt on any trail these vehicles might venture down.
2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
These components have been designed by K&N engineers to be much less restrictive to air flow than their factory counterparts.
With K&N's intake these engines will not waste power trying to pull in the air they need. In addition to being less restrictive, the K&N air filter included in this system (part number RF-1044XD) is protected by a powdercoated steel heat shield, which helps keep intake air temperatures down where they belong.
According to testing performed on K&N's dynamometer, the
air intake system pushes out an impressive additional 13.55 horsepower and 14.55 lb. ft. torque at 5000 RPM
on a 2010 to 2015 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The 77-9034KP
is backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.
Mazda redesigned the Mazda3 for 2010 to 2012. Changes are more than skin-deep for this sporty, yet economical, car. New to the Mazda3 is the 2.5L engine found in the 3s and hatchback models. The larger 2.5L engine is carried over from the 3's larger sibling, the Mazda6.
2010 to 2012 Mazda3 models are well-engineered machines. However, K&N engineers are constantly in pursuit of more power. After looking under the hood, K&N engineers knew that, with their expertise, these cars were capable of more.
K&N Air Intake System for 2010 to 2012 Mazda3 2.5L
K&N intake 69-6013TTK replaces the intake tract with a powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube and a K&N High-Flow Air Filter™ for improved air delivery. 69-6013TTK incorporates an application specific heat shield, isolating the air filter from the warm air under the hood. This intake system provides improved performance and a durable powder coated aluminum
intake tube.
The result of this hard work and enthusiasm for performance is nearly 7 more
horsepower at the wheels. K&N's Research and Development Department tested a
2010 to 2012 Mazda 3 with a 2.5L L4 engine on our in-house dynamometer. Results
showed horsepower increases with a peak horsepower gain of 6.67 horsepower @ 5,604 RPM! Equally important is the extra 6.25 lb-ft of torque this car picked up at 5,604 RPM.
This air intake system uses a conical shaped High-Flow Air Filter™
part RU-4960XD.
It captures harmful particles, provides high airflow, and long service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions.
For increased protection and style, K&N intake 69-6013TTK can be used with a K&N Drycharger® filter wrap. Drycharger filter wraps are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water; yet add little restriction to the airflow of the air filter. Available in
black,blue, red or yellow, K&N Drycharger filter wraps can be color coordinated with a car's finish.
69-6013TTK is a complete system which takes about 90 minutes or less to install with common hand tools. It uses stock mounting points, requires no drilling, and is covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.
K&N has recently paired its air filtration technology with the 2009 to 2015 Honda CB1000R and the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Honda
CBF1000F in order to satisfy a rider's desire to get more power and performance from these advanced and stylish motorcycles. Honda developed the CB 1000R and the CBF1000F as stylish bikes
with no-fairing that are powered by a 998cc inline four motor. The 998cc inline four is a longer stroke engine than the one available on the current stroke Honda CBR.

Potentially this will give riders a more powerful mid-range torque experience. This CB uses a 36mm throttle body that compliments the wide parameter of mid-range torque. This is a bike that truly combines both style and performance.
Replacement Air Filter for 2009 to 2015 Honda CB 1000R and CBF1000F
In order to enhance the riders motorcycle performance and give riders the option to use the world's best air filter, K&N developed filter number HA-1009. K&N's
HA-1009 is a high performance air filter designed to fit directly into the 2009 to 2015 Honda CB1000R and the 2010 Honda CBF1000F factory air boxes. Upgrading to this air filter has never been easier. Riders can simply replace their OE air filter with the HA-1009 and ride. Since this air filter was designed specifically for these factory air boxes, your motorcycle should not require any adjustments to the fuel delivery system for proper functionality.
The HA-1009 is shaped in a way that utilizes most of the factory air box
area and it has an opening that was engineered to provide a highly effective seal against the air box flange. Like every K&N motorcycle air filter, the HA-1009 is both washable and reusable.
K&N's HA-1009 can be easily cleaned and re-oiled using K&N
Re-charger cleaning kit number 99-5000
with aerosol oil or Re-charge kit number 99-5050
with squeeze bottle oil. These cleaning kits include both the air filter cleaner and air filter oil. Once contaminants exceed the wire mesh cleaning the air filter is recommended.
This air filter is both backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and
it is made in the USA. This air filter will provide outstanding protection and high air-flow for many years of riding and should be the last air filter you will ever need to purchase for your
Honda motorcycle.
