Campbell qualified in the top 16 at Attica, Ohio on Friday and earned a spot in the dash. During the A-Feature he ran in the top ten. There were problems and the Jeremy Campbell Motorsports crew worked to repair the car in time to complete the race. He was able to finish 18th.

On Saturday the World of Outlaws visited Tri State Speedway in Haubstat, Indiana. Campbell qualified tenth and secured a position in the dash. He battled his way through lapped traffic to a 4th place finish.

“The car felt great this weekend, and I’m really happy with our run at Haubstat,” said Campbell. “It’s good to see things coming together. We’ve made a lot of changes for 2007, but we still rely on K&N Air Filters. I’ve used them for many years and they are the best out there.”

Campbell’s next race will be at Knoxville Raceway this Saturday night.

2007 Speedway World Championship is a Brand New Game

1. maí 2007

As the Speedway World Championship racers prepare for a brand new agenda, they know 2007 will be one of the toughest battles on record. With an increase this year to 11 rounds plus a new points system, it will be the hardest fought World Championship since the introduction of the Grand Prix series in 1995.

Crump is ready to go 11 rounds

Jason Crump is taking the changes in stride and ready for the Grand Prix to begin on April 28th.

“In the past, we raced 9 or 10 rounds,” said the double World Champion. “The International Motorcycle Federation has implemented a new points scoring system to try and keep the points gap closer between the riders. With the new points structure every race will count towards your points tally. Last year I won the World Championship by the biggest margin simply because I won the races that counted.”

Round one takes place at Lonigo, Italy and the stadium is expected to be at capacity. Crump finished in second place at Lonigo in 2005 and first in 2006. It is one of his favorite tracks. “My strategy must change,” said Crump. “I have to win every race. In the past, finishing second was okay in some races because I made it to the next level. The final race was the one that counted the most and that is where I performed better than all the others.”

Crump uses K&N Engineering products. “As usual, I will be using K&N Filters on all my bikes,” he said. “I have 15 bikes in my stable for the British, Polish and Swedish league racing and World Championship Grand Prix. K&N has been a long time supporter. Speedway is dirt track racing so having the right filter is paramount. K&N Air Filters provide constant airflow for maximum engine performance. K&N delivers ever time.”

Crump said he is physically and mentally prepared for the action. “I never underestimate the opposition and I don’t expect the world championship to be won with two rounds to go like last year,” he said. “I see the series going all the way down to the wire.”

K&N Releases New 3.5 Inch Diameter Flange Universal Chrome Top Air Filter

30. apr. 2007

K&N Engineering makes universal air filters for just about any need, from racing vehicles to air compressors. A new K&N Universal Chrome Air Filter, part RC-5165 will expand K&N's wide range of sizes to a new level.

K&N's RC-5165 Universal Chrome Air Filter

The new RC-5165 is two inches bigger at the top and more than two inches bigger at the bottom than any other cone shaped air filter K&N makes with a 3.5 inch diameter flange. The base outside diameter is 8 inches (203 mm), the top diameter is 7 inches (178 mm), and the height is 12.5 inches (318 mm). The flange length is 1.5 inches long which should be long enough to clamp around most 3.5 inch diameter air intakes.

There is also a threaded stud on the top of this K&N Air Filter for secure mounting if needed. K&N Universal Air Filters are ideal for extended use in dirty and dusty conditions. Washable and reusable, the RC-5165, like all other K&N Air Filters is a work horse. It is designed to provide high air flow and excellent engine protection.

There is a great deal of engineering behind every K&N Filter. More than 35 years of research and development has made K&N the leader in air filtration technology.

During the first heat race Allard fell to fourth on the start. At lap four he was able to take over third place and continued the charge to finish the heat in 2nd place.

In the 25 lap feature, Allard hit a slick spot on turn three and almost spun out but managed to stay in the race. Officials cut the race to 20 laps because of a mandated noise curfew. During the last part Allard lost a spot on lap 16 and ended up in 5th place.

“Racing may have its ups and downs but the one thing that stays on top is the performance of our K&N Filters,” said Allard. “It was a tough night, but our team was able to work through the adversity.”

Allard and Williams Motorsports will be running at the Silver Dollar Speedway this Friday and at Tulare Speedway on Saturday.

Tough weekend for Chris Cake

Team Open Series driver Chris Cake

Team Open Series Driver Chris Cake had to cope with balance problems on the car. During the morning practice session Cake worked out the bumps and built up the pace in the new Silverstone Vauxhall Corsa.

Cake took pole position in the first round of the heat, but his throttle cable snapped as the light turned green. Cake was stranded on the start line. During the second heat the car showed its true potential as Cake began setting competitive lap times.

In the third heat, the driver from Dover made a mistake by chasing front runner Willy Salzgeber. He slipped back and Cake ended up in 10th place overall.

"The weekend was more of a glorified test session," said Cake. "We have lots of new components on the car and I'm still testing the limits of the Corsa. I'm really happy with the changes and can't wait for the next race."

The next event for Cake will be the second round of the European Rallycross Championship in France on May 12th and 13th. Belgian Driver Tom Greenen will be driving the Team Open Series Vauxhall Corsa in Round 2 of the LINGsCARS.com Rallycross Open Championship at Blyton Circuit in Cake's absence.
