The 2006 IHRA Mr. Gasket Pro-Am Tour is underway and Duck Tape Racing is working
on the championship chase.
Duck Tape Racing's 1980 Volare 360
Racer Michael Beard uses a K&N oil filter and K&N air cleaner on the teams
I/CM (I crate motor class) 1980 Stock Eliminator Volare. “The tracks are dusty
and we need K&N products to keep the dirt out of the engine,” said Beard. “They
work great.”
Beard wrote in an e-mail, “The Rockingham, North Carolina event is in the books.
In preparation for the new season, Sloan Racing Engines built a new 360 Magnum
crate motor for the Volare. We tested the new combination first at the
RaceWorks.com Spring Blast where over 3500 spectators and 400 racers enjoyed
excellent conditions, until the rain came. On the car’s maiden voyage, it ran a
7.08 in the 1/8 mile. Testing continued at Piedmont Dragway in Greensboro, North
Carolina, we netted a best of 6.99 at 97 mph in the 1/8 mile, well below the
current I/CM class World Record of a 7.15.”
To get from race to race Duck Tape Racing uses K&N Fuel Injection Performance
Kits (FIPK) and K&N Performance Oil Filters (HP-3002)
on its tow vehicles. “We pick up tow power on our 1997 C3500 Chevy Dually
because of the K&N filter,” said Beard.
“Rockingham, North Carolina opened its gates to 384 race teams for the Mr.
Gasket Pro-Am Tour the first weekend in March. The Volare began its record hunt
with a 7.05 right off the trailer. In order to officially claim a World Record,
the run must be backed up with a second run within 1% (a 7.12 in this case),”
Beard wrote. “Driver error led to an off-pace 7.144 on the back-up run, but
because it was still quicker than the record, the 7.05 provided the back-up for
a slower run. We now hold the I/CM World Record at 7.144. The record also gives
us 5 bonus points in the championship chase.”
Duck Tape Racing's 2000 Dakota Quad Cab
Michael Beard also runs his 2000 Dakota Quad Cab 4.7L in Bracket Racing
during the season. “I picked up 0.2 seconds in the quarter mile,” said Beard.
“With the K&N FIPK (57-1516KP)
gas mileage improved, we picked up ½ mile on the gallon and the Dakota’s
performance was better overall.”
Duck Tape Racing hopes to do well at the Piedmont Dragway 1/8 mile IHRA
Dragstrip near Julian, North Carolina, said Beard.
“K&N filters are compact and easy to maneuver,” said Beard. “The K&N products
are well built and easy to install. We use K&N oil filters on all our team
vehicles.”

K&N's RK-3926 on Honda VTX1800
K&N offers its custom chromed billet air filter assemblies for
your metric cruiser. The stunning new lid combines billet aluminum which is
chrome plated for a long lasting shine while easy to maintain on your
motorcycle. There are three choices, RK-3906 has a mirror finish and RK-3916 is our ball groove design. RK-3926 is pictured below with a flamed design.
K&N air cleaners for motorcycles feature our unique High-Flow Technology with an
original K&N air filter for serious performance. The custom assemblies' overall
size is greatly increased to allow more air flow improving acceleration and
service intervals.
"A K&N filter this size is designed to be cleaned at approximately 25,000
miles," said K&N Engineering Powersports Brand Manager John Jump. "A typical
rider may not ride 25,000 miles during the life of the vehicle."
Installation is very easy on your bike and should take between 45 to 60 minutes
for completion. Due to the high volume of air intake it may be necessary to
remap the fuel injectors for optimum performance.

K&N Engineering released a new MX XStream, Replacement High-Flow Air
Filter for the 2003-2015 Yamaha WR250F and WR450F (YA-4503). This new filter is great for
enthusiasts and off-road riders and racers alike. The innovative and unique
filter design makes installation, changing and cleaning a breeze.
K&N's MX XStream Replacement High-Flow Air Filter for the 2003 to 2013 Yamaha WR250F and WR450F
K&N invented the pleated cotton filter more than 35 years ago for the
power sports market. Designed to increase airflow, K&N filters offer more surface area (than foam filters), increased filtration and optimum air flow.
Installation of the K&N XStream Filter is easy. With the top removed, you can
easily press the sides together to slide it in between your frame rails and
install it into the air-box without the oily mess associated with many other air
filters.
"This filter comes with a gasket, which makes it unnecessary to run grease at
the base of the filter," said K&N Powersports Brand Manager, John Jump. "It's a
nice benefit and makes for a very clean filtration system. On this particular
filter, you mount the gasket directly to the airbox."
Kyle Krause, who currently races Expert in the Best in the Desert and WORCS Series, has been racing for 19 years now. "I ran the new MX XStream on a 450," said Kyle. "I noticed more power right away and the filter is very easy to install and clean.
Cleaning is a simple process and K&N offers a filter care service kit (sold
separately) with everything needed to clean and re-oil your filter numerous
times. K&N's larger filtration area offers riders longer service intervals
meaning more riding and less cleaning.

K&N Engineers were able to knock out a system that provides good power gains even though the Commander does not have a lot of open space. The engine compartment is really busy and the development side meant very extensive design work for the 77-1548KP.
Our 77-Series Intake Kits show quality appearance has under-the-hood style with a
polished aluminum finish perfect for the Cherokee and Commander. The 77 series kit uses a conical shaped High-Flow air filter that we can fit into the engine compartment.

forth between U.S. Army units. The 2006 Jeep Liberty is a descendant of the
original Jeep.

Manager Bert Heck. "We worked hard and developed a kit that the vehicle likes."
K&N Air Intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they
smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your jeep's engine to use a larger
volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. More air means more power and
torque when you need it.

polished aluminum finish perfect for a Jeep that's fun to drive and will go just
about anywhere.
77-Series Intakes' are designed to be installed with simple hand tools in less
