World of Outlaws Sprint Season Begins for K&N Racer

Jonathan Allard sported a new chassis for the first time in 2007 at Tulare, California in the World of Outlaws Sprint Series. On a very cold Friday night he went up against 42 other sprinters at Thunderbowl Raceway.

Overnight rain made the track surface very fast and passing was nearly impossible during the heats. Allard’s best shot to get a good finish was to get a nice start. He was able to settle into fourth.

During the heat Allard felt a lot of pressure from Australian Brooke Tatnell. After five laps Allard was able to find a nice groove and pull away to finish fourth in the Williams Motorsports, GT Trends, K&N Filters No. 0.

For the 35 lap feature Jonathan lined up in the number 19 position. On lap 23 he was tagged from behind and spun out. The track was so difficult, World of Outlaws point leader Donny Schatz was not fast enough to make the initial cut for the A Feature and 20 time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kisner didn’t make it to the feature at all.

On Saturday, Allard turned the fastest lap  out of 41 cars. The top 16 qualifiers made the inversion for the heat race and Jonathan lined up on the pole of heat two. The Williams Motorsports racer beat defending World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year Chad Kemenah into the first turn and took command of the heat.

Joey Saldana closed in around five laps and hounded Allard for a few turns and took the lead with a few laps left. Allard kept his cool and went on to score a second place finish which put him in the dash.

The 30-year-old Chico, California racer had an inside row two starting spot. During the first lap a malfunction near the front of the car sent him sideways in front of the rest of the field. The other cars had nowhere to go and piled into the No.0 machine. The Williams crew did what they could and Allard took the green flag of the A-main. After completing a lap he pulled off the raceway and scored an official finish of 25th.

Prior to the dash incident he team seemed to have their machine going well, and the learning curve might not take very long with the new chassis. “We use K&N Engineering Oil and Air Filters along with K&N’s Carbon Fiber Air Box,” said Allard. “K&N makes the best products, the oil and air filters are easy to use and maintain. We just wash, assemble and race and we never have to worry about performance. We depend on K&N.”

The Golden State Challenge Series kicks off in less than two weeks with the annual Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.

“I race a Kawasaki 250f and a Kawasaki 450f,” said Howell. “Amateur day gives me a chance to show my skills on a slightly tamed down track. I love the intense competition and I love to practice because I can always become a better rider.”

“Howell also won the Schoolboy and 450B classes at BooKoo Arenacross Amateur Day in Yakima, Washington. “Both of the tracks (at Salem and Yakima) are really tight and it’s tough to pass,” said Howell. “I usually compete against anywhere from seven to eighteen people, depending on the class.”

Howell uses K&N Engineering Air and Oil Filters KA-2506XD, KN-207 and KN-112. “I really like K&N Filters,” said Howell. “The power gains are noticeable throughout the whole power band. I really like that I can go longer on K&N Filters and they are easy to change and clean.”

The high school sophomore  plans to race in most of the amateur nationals in 2007 including Lake Whitney, World Mini GP, Ponca City and Loretta Lynn’s.

Bayou Boyz Slate Cummings made his NHRA 2007 debut at Houston Raceway Park for the Lucas Oil Division Series Race.

“It was a heartbreaking race,” said Larry Cummings, father of Bayou Boyz Racers, Slate and Britt. “It was also a relief, because after racing in the NHRA for two years we made it to the finals. It was a huge boost in confidence for our team. We have a good record in the IHRA and we’re going after a good record in the NHRA.”

In addition to his runner-up finish in Super Stock, Slate Cummings advanced to the fourth round in Super Comp. Mechanical problems hit hard and hurt his run with eventual runner-up Tommy Costales.

“We put up a good weekend all around,” said Britt Cummings. “Slate went a bunch of rounds and earned some valuable points. Overall, I’m content with where the team is headed. At this point last year we were upside down with our engine program and it took half the season to get everything straight. Now we’re where we need to be in every class that we run.”

Slate Cummings recorded a huge 186.78 mph at the 8.90 index in his Moser Super Comp Dragster. The teams Camaro also ran a 10.45 (11.65 Index) with Britt Cummings at the wheel. The family affair continued as patriarch Larry Cummings recorded an 11.31 in his 1968 Camaro (12.45 Index).

The Bayou Boyz use K&N Engineering products on all their vehicles. “Our K&N Oil and Air Filters are very dependable,” said Larry Cummings. “We’ve never had a problem at any racing event with K&N.”

The Cummings Motorsports Team have a weekend off before the second NHRA Lucas Oil Division Event on the NHRA Division 4 Schedule March 2-4. They will race at No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, Louisiana.
