K&N Air Filter and enclosure.

performance.

The pace of the race is abusive, the terrain unforgiving, but it is spring in the
Nevada desert and time for the Best in the Desert Terrible’s Town 250. This
off-road race is considered a sprint race through some of the deepest silt beds
and boulder fields.

Best in the Desert Terrible's Town 250 is next race
“The logistics of the Terrible’s Town 250 are cake compared to the Baja
1000,” said Trophy Truck Racer Damen Jefferies. “But, the pace is intense.
Everyone is pushing the limit in this race.”

The race is presented by the Terrible Herbst Casino Corporation and starts in
Pahrump, which is about 65 miles from the Las Vegas strip. It is also one of the
richest off road races in the United States with a $20,000 purse for the winner.
Damen Jefferies of Oak Hills, California is ready to take on his formidable
competitors through the rough and rocky terrain.
The K&N Engineering sponsored racer has dominated every class he has
driven in.
“We built a brand new vehicle for 2007,” said Jefferies. “It’s light as far as
trophy trucks go, but it has good power and it accelerates fast.”
Jefferies new K&N sponsored trophy truck was first tested in the SCORE Laughlin
Desert Challenge. He took 11th place out of 36 entries. “Our next race was the
Tecate SCORE Baja 250,” he said. “After starting in the 26th position, we were
up to 3rd place by race mile 80. That’s when our transmission expired. It’s
still early in the game and we’re very optimistic about the rest of the season.
We’re racing at Terrible’s Town to get extensive testing on the truck in
preparation for the Baja 500.”
Jefferies is ready to get the job done at Pahrump. The K&N trophy truck utilizes
a K&N designed air induction system as well as a K&N Performance Oil Filter
which provides it with the power and protection it requires. “The bottom line is
K&N has better filtering than anybody,” he said. “We can depend on K&N in the
toughest and most severe desert conditions.”
By supporting racers like Damen, K&N is able to test and develop the finest
products under the most extreme racing environments,” said Mike Rossi, K&N
Research and Development Specialist. “Consistent air flow, low maintenance,
durability and superior filtration are critical under these conditions. The
development that takes place as a result of racing with teams like this improves
K&N’s consumer product lines.”
Jefferies will race at Pahrump on April 28.

Cody Swanson is a competitor on the move. The 16-year-old kart racer from Norco,
California had the opportunity to drive in the Legend Season Opener at Irwindale
Speedway on April 14th.

“I was not a complete stranger to the track because of my first test
session earlier in the year with K&N Engineering Sports Marketing Director
Charles Maier,” said Cody Swanson. “Even though I tested in the K&N Ford Focus
Midget, this was my first race on the track and my first time with other cars. I
was nervous but very excited.”

Swanson qualified 11 out of 37 cars and went straight to the main event.
“My goal for the evening was to learn from the more experienced drivers,” he
said. “I also wanted to finish somewhere inside the top ten in the Speed Wong
Racing # 90 Legend car.”
The main event was 35 laps long around a 1/3 mile track. By lap five, Swanson
was in 9th place. On lap 22, he was in 8th position. With four laps remaining,
he passed one of Team Speed Wong’s main competitors for 6th place. “I was able
to hang on and finish in at 6th in my first circle track race at Irwindale
Speedway,” said Swanson. “I also wore my K&N driving suit and many people gave
me compliments. This gave me the opportunity to talk about K&N products.”
Swanson will be driving in the Legend Car Series second race of the season on
April 21st.

Funny car driver Jeff Arend had one great qualifying session followed by a stout
evening round at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada. Arend was one of the few
who managed a solid lap in session one, putting a 4.915 on the board at the
SummitRacing.com Nationals.

Another close one for Jeff Arend
After landing 4th in the first session, he missed putting a stout number
on the night run and his placement dropped to 15th place. “Everyone else did it
just the other way, barely getting anywhere on the first run but then putting
big results on the board Friday night,” said Arend. “We felt really good about
our first pass, but we had some issues with some things inside the car and we
slipped down near the bottom. There was no doubt we’d have to improve to make
the show.”

Jeff Arend's qualifying run at The Strip
On Saturday, Arend was part of a large group of drivers who could not negotiate
the full length of the track during the first session. Stars like John Force,
Tony Pedregon, Jack Beckman, Tim Wilkerson, Gary Densham and Jim Head were all
in danger of not making the field.
At the line and 4.818 seconds later, Arend was back in the fray. Pedregon and
Densham made it to the top half of the field. Wilkerson was bumped out and John
Force made it to the 16th spot. Force knew his amazing streak of 395 races and
20 years was on the line. Beckman outran Force’s time and left the 14-time
champion on the sidelines for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Jeff Arend finished in 13th position.
Arend was set in a match against POWERade points lead champion Ron Capps, the
No. 4 qualifier in Sunday’s race.
“There is a lot to be said for the theory that you often win or lose your first
round race when you’re qualifying,” said Arend. “But, we’ve seen enough huge
upsets on race day to know that’s not always the case. No. 16 qualifiers beat
the No. 1 guy all the time, so all we concentrated on doing was making sure the
car made a full lap under power. We wanted to give ourselves a chance to win,
and if things lined up just right, we could even outrun them.”
Arend saw his teammate, Del Worsham, run 4.842 to take out Gary Densham by the
slimmest of margins. He knew his Team CSK car would run something close to that
number.
Arend left the starting line first, and the race was on in a side-by-side battle
of two fast race cars. At the stripe Capps won by 11-thousandths of a second.
“I’m beginning to understand how Del felt last year, because this is two races
in a row where we really ran well,” said Arend. “We’re feeling good, we have two
solid race cars now, and I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone when either of
our cars win rounds or qualify well. We are in the hunt for the top eight.”
Worsham Racing uses K&N Engineering products on its Funny Cars. “The thick
canister walls on the K&N Oil Filters have extra strength and durability,” said
Team Manager Bob Wilber. “It reduces the risk of damage from debris on the
track. K&N is never a factor we have to worry about when we race.

The Defending King of California Champion was set to start sixth in the
second heat race, but a false start by the front row moved Allard up to fourth
place for the start. He jumped into second place at the first set of corners and
stayed there for the rest of the eight lap contest.

In the feature Allard had a great start and moved into third by the first lap.
By lap ten, leader Sean Becker hit a slick spot on the track and Allard tried to
make a move up, but remained in third place.
As the race continued Allard tried everything to pass could not get enough
traction. The battle continued for runner up spot between Allard and Willie
Croft over a handful of laps. Allard slipped back in the remaining part of the
feature and he had to use the high track line on the final lap to score third
place.
“Racing may have its ups and downs,” said Allard. “But, the one thing that stays
on top is the performance of our K&N Filters.”
Rain cancelled Saturday’s Golden State Challenge Series at Ocean Speedway. Next
week Allard and Williams Motorsports will compete at Chico again on Friday and
Petaluma Speedway on Saturday.
