 "Adding airflow, filtration and dirt retention to the clutch on one of the most popular Side-by-Sides on the market is as important as adding gasoline before you head out on the trail," said K&N Powersports Division Brand Manager John Jump. "Our CVT Clutch Breather Filter Kit (RK-3920) for the Yamaha Rhino offers the clutch increased air flow to keep it cool."

The oversized media allows for increased dirt capacity so that you do not have to clean it as often. At the same time, this K&N Filter Kit keeps the internals free from debris.

The RK-3920 is a complete kit which includes a K&N High-Flow Filter (RB-0900) with a 5 degree angled flange to set the filter at the right angle. It also includes a K&N Pre-Charger which allows for even longer service intervals while maintaining high levels of airflow.

"Whether you are building your Yamaha Rhino for the upcoming racing season or just trying to keep it in top shape," said Jump. "K&N Engineering's new CVT Clutch Filter Kit gets the job done."

To add performance, simply remove the disposable air filter and drop in the K&N Air Filter. 33-2921 is 0.813 inches in height (21mm) with an outside length of 10.938 inches (278 mm) and an outside width of 9 inches (229mm).

World of Outlaws Donny Schatz Wins Cactus Classic

Donny Schatz and the ParkerStore Team were victorious Saturday night in the Cactus Classic at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix. Schatz was in the mix for a total of two victories this past weekend in Arizona, but finished third in Friday night’s event at USA Race Park near Tucson.

“Everyone can look at the results and say we’ve been consistent, but we need to win races, period,” said Schatz. “Winning races is the key to having a successful season. We were right there on Friday night before we had a problem with the motor, and ended up finishing third. We weren’t going to be happy unless we won on Saturday night, and the entire team did a great job to help us get the job done.”

The Fargo, North Dakota racer began the weekend at USA Race Park by timing the third fastest in a 41-car field. During the 30-lap feature Craig Dollansky was involved in a crash just in front of the No.15 ParkerStore J&J. Schatz was able to avoid that accident.

When the feature restarted Schatz tracked down leaders Jason Sides and Steve Kinser. He was in second on lap 9 and focused on Kinser. He pulled even on one occasion, but wouldn’t be able to make another run at the lead. Schatz developed a problem with his engine and came home third behind Kinser and Joey Saldana.

The feature event on Saturday night was a duel of speed. Schatz chased starters Justin Henderson and Paul McMahan in the early stages. He worked his way around the bottom groove and top line to jump into second just before the ten lap mark. By lap 13, he drove past Henderson and began to pull away. Saldana put on a lot of pressure but Schatz maneuvered lapped traffic faster the final 12 laps of the race. The ParkerStore car was too quick and Schatz won the race.

“That was a tough race and those kind sure take a lot out of you, but I’m proud to get the win,” he said. “We were really good around the bottom in turns three and four, but I also had to run high to deal with the traffic. It feels great to get back to victory lane.”

In the 2007 World of Outlaws Season, Schatz has six finishes in the top three. He leads the series standings. Schatz and the ParkerStore Team use K&N Engineering products. “We know from our extensive research that K&N makes the best products to provide the maximum amount of airflow to our engines,” said Schatz. “The K&N Filters Carbon Sprint Airbox fits perfectly and gets the job done.”

Schatz and the ParkerStore Team return to the track on March 16 at Houston Race Park in Baytown, Texas.

The 22-year-old McAlpin, Florida racer clocked in at 5.340 seconds at 264.86 mph in the Darien-Meadows owned dragster. Wood took over Ashley Force’s spot in Top Alcohol Dragster when Force made the move to Top Fuel Funny Car at the start of the 2007 season. “Everything just worked out,” said Wood. “I’ve got a great crew and a great car.”

Wood is followed in points by former NHRA Pacific Division Champion and current Top Fuel Dragster Morgan Lucas.

“K&N sponsored Lindsey at the Sportsman level and we will continue to support her,” said K&N Sports Marketing Director Charles Maier. “Lindsey is a nice fit for K&N. Lindsey uses a K&N Engineering Clutch Air Filter. It contains all the dust from the clutch and prevents a dust cloud as she launches.”

Gainesville is next up for Wood. She said she hopes to do as well at the Gatornationals.

Nissan 240SX Owners Add 10.65 Horsepower with K&N Typhoon Air Intake System

The Nissan 240SX is one of the most common machines available for the sport of Drifting. Drifters control their cars with a unique way of steering during competition. Steering the wheel is almost ineffective while in a drift, so top drivers use the gas and brake to maneuver on the course. The Nissan 240SX was one of the top cars in the 2006 Formula D Championship. For everyday drivers the 240SX is also known for its great steering and handling.

K&N Engineering has designed a new 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-7075TS) in silver for the 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 Nissan 240SX 2.4 liter engine. "This Typhoon Air Intake System uses the factory Mass Air Flow sensor, custom radius filter adapter, and a K&N High Flow Air Filter (RU-4600)," said K&N Project Technician Nestor Cabrera.

K&N dynamometer testing shows a 10.65 horsepower gain @ 4500 RPM for this Typhoon Intake. "The horsepower and torque gains are exceptional for an engine of this size," said Cabrera. "The K&N Air Filter also uses a specially designed radius adapter which helps provide smooth air flow into the intake tube."

The heat shield is designed with provisions for the factory fresh air duct. This allows the K&N Air Filter to receive a consistent flow of fresh cool air. In addition, the heat shield isolates the K&N Air Filter from the engine compartment.

The design of the Nissan played a major roll in the development of this Typhoon Air Intake System. K&N engineers took special care to ensure that this air intake followed the Nissan's lines and that it did not obstruct or rub against other parts in the engine.

It takes less than 90 minutes to install this kit with simple hand tools. K&N Typhoon air intake systems are designed to improve engine performance along with under the hood visual appeal.
