Jessica Brannam has already accumulated 213 feature victories
In every sport, consistent, extraordinary performance is rewarded. When an exceptional player wills their team to a National Championship the chances of that athlete moving to the next level improve exponentially. Which is precisely why Jessica Brannam from McHenry, Illinois, should realistically never need to fret about any racing future of her choosing.
Jessica Brannam is 24 time National Kart Champion
Brannam's resume reads like someone's at the end of a stellar racing career, yet Brannan only turned 19 last month. She has already been a 24 time National Champion, and is still the only female to be named "Badger Kart Club" Diver of the Year in that club's 50-year history. She has already accumulated a mind-boggling 213 feature victories, and is the only female to win every single race during a WKA (World Kart Association) National Series season. Brannam accomplished that feat four times. She notched her first racing victory in just her second race ever and won her first championship in her very first year of competition.

Oh, but wait, there's more. Brannam is a Skip Barber Advanced Racing School graduate. She has tested several types of Formula Cars, and tested faster than five of the six team drivers she tested with. She has also completed her NASCAR rookie test at Irwindale Raceway in California. Brannam is a six-time Lyn St. James, "Women in The Winners Circle" honoree.
The seemly obvious point is that Brannam, who likes to run with the number 94, can drive the smack out of any vehicle she chooses to place her favorite number on. Yet, in our current cost-cutting environment, even someone with her prodigious skills is left to wonder about her next step. Brannam is currently working with Stars and Stripes Motorsports to secure funding for a full season of racing in the Star Mazda Pro Series.
"We had a good season last year, we finished fourth out of 30 drivers in the Wisconsin, Illinois, Mini Sprints Series. Our plans for next year are kind of up in the year for now though. We are still working to get the funding and sponsorship needed for the Star Mazda Pro Series. If that doesn't happen, I will race the Mini sprint series," says a pensive Brannam.
"I think we have a great relationship with K&N, we never take anything that we do not need, and we are 100% dedicated to our sponsors. I also believe K&N has been happy with the way the race team and I have represented their company."
"The products that we use for our 1200cc mini sprint are the K&N oil and air filters. We have had great success with these products. When we raced go-karts we also used K&N products. Times are really tough now for my family, as well as with so many other people, racing will always be apart of my life though – no matter what happens."
Dyno Chart for 2010, 2011 and 2012 Chevy Camaro SS
When it comes to classic American muscle cars, the Chevy Camaro is on top of
many lists. Chevrolet introduced the Camaro in the early 1960's to compete with the well-respected Ford Mustang. In 2002, Camaro sales were down and Chevrolet ceased its production. An all new Camaro has emerged for the 2010 model year bringing style and performance back to the table. Available only as a coupe for 2010 and 2011 and a convertible option for the 2012 year, the Camaro SS is equipped with a powerful 6.2 liter V8 engine.
Air Intake System for 2010 to 2015 Chevy Camaro SS 6.2L
For those looking for a performance boost, K&N has released an air intake system (63-3074) that is guaranteed to increase horsepower. The 63-3074 was engineered to the specific design of the Camaro's engine compartment and uses only factory holes and mounting points. K&N made installation of this air intake simple by providing written instructions and a detailed installation video that takes you through the process step by step. Installation of the 63-3074 is usually done in 90 minutes or less and only requires common hand tools.
K&N's air intake system 63-3074 uses a non-metallic intake tube and oversized high-flow air filter to replace the restrictive factory intake housing and air filter. A heat shield is standard with this cold air intake and is designed to allow cooler air to enter your engine. Less restriction and cooler air means more power throughout the rpm range. K&N dyno tested this intake and the results were outstanding. After installation the K&N 63-3074 air intake produced an amazing 344.27 rear wheel horses at 5161 rpm on a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. This was a net gain of 18.62 horsepower at 5161 rpm.
The K&N 63-3074 air intake fits the following Chevy Camaro SS models:
2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 6.2L V8
2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 6.2L V8
2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 6.2L V8
2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 6.2L V8
2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 6.2L V8
2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 6.2L V8
The 63-3074 comes with a large K&N air filter (RF-1042) that is washable and reusable. This high-flow air filter captures harmful particles and it will perform for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions. This K&N air intake system, like all other K&N air intakes, is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. K&N air intakes can be purchased at most auto parts stores and performance
shops. Use the K&N dealer search to find a K&N dealer

16 year old Adam Camp has been competing for ten years
As is the case so often in all forms of racing, it grows to be a family affair, passed from one generation to the next, with everyone doing their part along the way. And so it goes with Stan Camp, from Farmington, Illinois and his family, son Adam and daughters Austyn and Allyx.
13 year old Allyx Camp started racing at the age of four
Camp's wife Holly is a huge key to their family's racing program, she makes sure everyone has all the proper "mom-stuff" says Camp. Holly sees to it that everyone has food, clean clothes, all their ridding gear, plus she takes care of the registration. "I also could not do the directors job without Holly," says Camp. Camp is the Dirt Track Director for AMA's District 17.
Camp started racing in 1975, at age eight, with his older brother. He continued racing until 1984, riding as a junior in the AMA professional ranks. Camp went on to race stock cars for several years, until he got married, and ultimately gave up on racing altogether for a period of time.
Allyx Camp won the 125 four-stroke class and the 160 four-stroke class in district 17 competitions
It wasn't until his son and oldest daughter Austyn were old enough to start racing mini-bikes that the racing bug infected him once again. "I have won a couple district 17 vintage championships and numerous state championships," says Camp.
Adam Camp won the Vintage and 505cc District Championships
"My son Adam, who will turn 17 this year, he has been competing for ten years already. He finished second at the amateur nationals in the 250 modified class in the short track, and has also won the Vintage and 505cc District Championships."
"My youngest daughter Allyx, who is 13, started racing at the age of four. She has won the 125 four-stroke class and the 160 four-stroke class in district 17 competitions. She will be riding the 160 and 250 class next year."
Adam Camp is getting his pro license this year and hopes to start the season opener in Daytona
"Real quick, I must mention my other daughter Austyn, who is 15. Austyn does not race anymore, but she provides enormous help to our overall efforts," adds Camp.
"K&N began supporting us last year and we are very appreciative. We use K&N oil and air filters on all our equipment."
"Adam is getting his pro license this year and we hope to start the season opener in Daytona this March. We also hope we can continue to represent K&N throughout the coming season."
Talent and determination is a beautiful thing. Look no further then Fargo, North Dakota, resident Nataline Sather for poster-girl verification of that claim. Sather raced her first season on asphalt at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington and she had eight top fives, and reached the top ten in all 17 races. She also got a fourth place and one victory. Sather finished '09 as Washington State Rookie of the Year (eligible award drivers must have been first-time NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Feature Division license holders), and as a successfully fulfilled first year participant in the Drive for Diversity program.

We asked Sather how her first year racing on asphalt looked from her perspective?
"When I found out that I was going to be racing on asphalt, I knew going into the season, it was going to be challenging. I grew up racing on dirt tracks all around the US, and I had really only raced on asphalt once before, when I was 17, and that was in a go-kart," explains Sather.
"What motivated me the most were guys like Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart. They all started off racing on the dirt and are now very successful on asphalt. Watching NASCAR racing, I've heard the announcers say so many times, 'that was a great save and clearly that's from their dirt racing background.'"
"The entire season was a learning experience. I had to adjust to the differences between the dirt and asphalt and also continue to cultivate racing relationships. I had such an incredible team that helped me to make the transition. As the season progressed, our communication got better, and so did our results. We had our goals at the beginning of the season and we met every one. I learned so very much, I had fun, and not only gained a race team out in Washington, but a family and a lot of friends. Through my eyes it was an AMAZING season."
Exhausted Nataline Sather sleeps in her late model car
Last year was also Sather's first year driving for NASCAR's Drive for Diversity Program and she considered it a great opportunity to have been selected. "The real blessing though, was the incredible team I was chosen by - Total Velocity Motorsports. Not only did I get to race for a great group of people, but again, they made me part of their family," adds Sather.
Growing up Sather's father sponsored a sprint car at their local Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo. She recalls watching drivers like Donny Schatz. She immediately fell in love with everything about racing - the stinging perfume of race petrol - the thundering roar of engines revving-up. It made her heart pound. And from a young age she knew that's what she wanted to do.
"I got started racing go-karts at the age of nine. A family friend saw a flyer at a gas station for a local indoor race and suggested to my parents that it might be something that I should get involved in. My parents and I went to the race and from that moment on we were all hooked."
After winning a Duffy at the IKF Grand Nationals (International Karting Federation) and placing second at the Tulsa Shootout, the Sather family concluded it was time to take it up a notch. In '02 they made the move up to a 360-Sprint Car.
"I continued racing sprint cars right up until I started participating in the Drive for Diversity program and moved to Monroe, Washington," says Sather.
"I have been using K&N products throughout my racing career. Not only have I used K&N products such as air and oil filters and dry sump breathers on my late model, but I also used K&N products on my sprint car. K&N has an outstanding line of products. I am always very confident pulling out on to the racetrack knowing that I have K&N products under my hood."
For the 2010 season Sather will carry on focusing on her dream to continue climbing the racing ladder. "I have been working very hard in the off-season to try and make this a reality," she says.
"This winter I have also really gotten involved with my local children's hospital, and I visited with the young kids about how to never, ever give up. I hope to continue with my racing success and to be able to help more and more kids in the future."
Washable, Reusable, Replacement Air Filter for the Acura TSX
The second-generation front-wheel-drive Acura TSX was introduced for the 2009 model year and carried over to 2010, 2011 and 2012. This entry-level luxury sedan is much sportier than your typical four-door family car. Features such as leather upholstery, 17 inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control and seven speaker audio system with integrated iPod and satellite radio options, really put the new Acura TSX in a class of its own. Acura's reputation for above-average reliability and performance make the 2009 and 2010 TSX a great choice for a comfortable daily driver.
The TSX is equipped with a 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine that averages 21 to 28 miles per gallon. Although economical, the Acura TSX can not compete with the performance of 6-cylinder or turbo-charged 4-cylinder engines found in other luxury sport sedans. K&N has developed a high-flow replacement air filter (33-2430) for the 2009 to 2014 Acura TSX with the 2.4 liter engine. It is designed to increase horsepower and torque while providing excellent filtration.
The 33-2430 panel air filter was custom engineered to fit the unique shape of the factory airbox as to attain a proper seal. K&N OEM replacement air filters are washable, reusable and come with a million mile limited warranty. The 33-2430 can go up to 50,000 miles depending on driving conditions before it needs to be cleaned. It will be the last air filter your Acura TSX will ever need.
Whether you have the six-speed manual transmission or five-speed automatic, K&N's unique drop-in air filter design makes adding performance to your TSX as easy as removing the old paper filter and replacing it with K&N's high-flow cotton air filter. For Acura TSX owners interested in the environment or just saving money, a washable and reusable air filter will decrease the amount of air filters in our landfills and save you money at the same time.
