The World of Outlaws (WoO) season continues to unfold with Donny Schatz and his
ParkerStore No.15 J&J with Shaver power. Schatz leads the WoO series in several
categories including the point standings, victories and second place finishes.
The Fargo, North Dakota racer claimed Friday’s preliminary feature and finished
second in Saturday’s $25,000-to-win finale at Skagit Speedway. The results
helped continue the team’s assault on the 2006 crown.
Donny Schatz and ParkerStore No.15
“On Friday night, Schatz earned the pole position and led the final 29
laps of the 30-lap race. That finish locked the ParkerStore No.15 into
Saturday’s Dash event, which set the first five rows of Saturday’s feature
event. Schatz took victory in the Dash event and led 24 cars to the green flag
for the feature event.
Schatz battled Craig Dollansky for the second position during most of the race
and made a final lap pass of Dollansky to score his 14th second place finish of
the season. Over nine races this season, Schatz has followed up a runner-up
finish with a victory in the next feature event.
“We had a good weekend, but we would have liked to win both nights,” said
Schatz. “The big picture looks good, but we honesty just worry about the next
race. We’re disappointed things didn’t go a little differently in the feature
Saturday, but it will keep all of us focused on getting back to victory lane at
the next race Wednesday night.”
K&N Carbon Fiber Airbox on Schatz ParkerStore No.15
Schatz will have a one-night program at Southern Oregon Speedway near
Medford, Oregon. He has raced this track three times in his career. “We always
enjoy this swing racing in Washington and Oregon before heading to Calistoga,”
Schatz said. “The stress level of everyone seems to come down a little bit and
we can get back to racing and having some fun.”
Schatz won the Harvest Classic Finale at Calistoga Speedway in 2005. He has a
series best 14 victories (12 “A” feature and two preliminary). “We use K&N
Engineering products,” said Schatz. “Our K&N Carbon Fiber Airbox helps us
achieve maximum horsepower at every race.”

Introduced in 1994, the Volkswagen Polo was considered the benchmark by which
all small hatchbacks were measured. In the UK more than 500,000 have been sold,
and there is a huge selection of previously owned Polos available.
Cold Air Intake for Volkswagen Polo
K&N Engineering has released a new 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-9750TS)
for the 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 Volkswagen Polo 1.6 L4. K&N dynamometer
tests show a 12 horsepower gain @ 7800 RPM for this intake. "This is a gain of
more than 10 percent over stock," said K&N Project Designer Joost Adriaans. "We
are satisfied with the results."
This 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-9750TS)
is a complete Cold Air Intake system. The K&N Filter (RC-9630)
is positioned close to the front wheel. "The Intake Kit can be converted to a
Short Ram configuration by not using the 2nd tube and placing the filter on the
1st tube," said Adriaans. "This can be done during severe weather conditions.
The farther the filter is away from the engine (to a certain extent), the cooler
the intake air is. Cooler air is denser than hot air so more air can enter the
engine resulting in better performance."
There were a few challenges during the development of
69-9750TS. "We found that the positioning of the hoses of the cooling system
were not consistent on various donor cars," said Adriaans. "As a result we
needed more cars to confirm our changes throughout development."
K&N 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake systems improve both engine performance and
under the hood aesthetics. This K&N Cold Air Intake System is also available in polished aluminum (69-9750TP). "This color is rather universal,"
said Adriaans. "It matches nicely with most vehicle colors."
The Kia Rio received a complete redesign in 2006. The all new engine features
double-overhead cams and continuously variable valve timing. The 2006 Hyundai
Accent is also totally redesigned with a new interior and a more powerful
engine. Kia is a subsidiary of South Korea's Hyundai and offers the same
warranty found on Hyundai vehicles.
Replacement Air Filter for Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent
K&N Engineering has designed a Lifetime Replacement Air Filter (33-2354)
for the 2006 to 2010 Kia Rio 1.6L L4 and 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Hyundai Accent 1.6L L4. Lift the hood of
the Kia or Hyundai and the K&N Air Filter is custom designed to fit in the
factory air box. The drop-in design means adding performance is simple, just
remove the disposable air filter in the Rio or Accent and replace it with K&N's
Air Filter (33-2354).
The washable, reusable, high flow flat panel filter is designed to increase
horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration. The 33-2354
is 1 inch in height (25mm) with an outside length of 10.625 inches (270mm) and an
outside width of 5.313 inches (135mm).
Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design comprised
of an oiled cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of epoxy-coated aluminum
screen. The K&N Air Filters (33-2354)
capture airborne dirt particles while allowing high volume air flow. These
particles cling to the outside of the filter and become part of the
filtering media.
K&N Air Filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N
Million Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle will
ever need.
K&N Engineering will proudly display a highly modified 2006 Lexus IS 250MT in
its booth at SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) in October. K&N
employees were awarded a stock car from Lexus for display in its booth at the
show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Typhoon Air Intake for Lexus IS350 and IS250
K&N has also released a new 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-8701TP)
for the 2006 to 2011 Lexus IS350 3.5L and the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 IS250 2.5L. K&N dynamometer tests show an estimated
11.2 horsepower gain @5800 RPM. "The power gain is exceptional for an engine
this size," said K&N Project Technician Nestor Cabrera. "With all our kits there
is a thorough development procedure which requires the use of multiple vehicles
to ensure a consistent horsepower and torque gain on every car, thus there is a
lot of testing that the kit goes through before it is finalized production."
K&N used multiple vehicles to ensure a consistent horsepower and torque gain on
every car and was able to locate the cars through the
K&N Filters website car
database.
The 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-8701TP)
uses the factory mass air flow (MAF) Sensor installed in the tube and a high
flow air filter with a heat shield. "The high flow air filter helps provide
smooth non turbulent air flow into the intake tube by incorporating a radioused
mounting flange," said Cabrera. "The heat shield isolates the filter from the
engine compartment keeping the air around it cooler."
The design of the Lexus played a major role in the development of the polished
aluminum 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-8701TP).
"Special care was taken to ensure that the intake system followed the vehicles
lines and that it did not obstruct or rub against other parts in the engine
compartment," said Cabrera. "We designed the intake system so that all the
factory accessory and engine covers could be reused."
The K&N Air Filter we used in this air intake was the RU-4990
, said Cabrera. "We considered air flow requirements,
location and space," he said. "The flange helps provide smooth air flow into the
intake tube."
Carl Renezeder is after another world champion title in Wisconsin at Crandon
International Off-Road Raceway. In four consecutive seasons, Renezeder has
walked away from the famous Labor Day event with a Champions Ring; three in the Pro-4 division
and one in the Pro-2 division. Renezeder was also the winner of the coveted BorgWarner Cup in
2004.
This coming holiday, the CORR Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Championship Series
racer hopes to add another win to his collection. “How can you not love
Crandon,” said Renezeder. “As a driver it combines the X and Y factors: speed
and technical sections, with the Z factor: flying through the air. There’s no
other rush quite like it.”
Team Renezeder Pro-4 Truck
“Racers need guts, talent and endurance to win at Crandon. The land-rush
start funnels into a four-wide, off camber, 100 mph, descending apex turn not
meant for the faint of heart. The next 1.75 miles has jumps leading into turns
that have broken many parts over the past few decades. There are also high-speed
and hairpin turns that, when used correctly, provide several places to pass. If
Renezeder races well for ten laps he may go home Sunday with a new Champions
Ring, the BorgWarner hardware and lots of spending money.
Team Renezeder uses K&N Engineering products. “As always, all of the K&N
products on our race trucks work flawlessly,” said Jennifer Bissett of American
Flyer Racing. “Whether it’s the high-flow K&N Air Filter protecting Menards’s
custom fuel injection system on our Nissan Titan Pro-2, or the K&N Oil Filter on
our Lucas Oil Pro-4, K&N products are as reliable as our driver’s talent. We
wouldn’t trust anything else under the hood.”
Team Renezeder Chases Championship Title
Team Renezeder is glad to be a part of some of the greatest racing this
country has to offer. Renezeder heads to Wisconsin in second place in both the
Pro-4 and Pro-2 CORR Lucas Oil Divisions.
