Liam Harrison is the UK’s front running Junior Rallycross driver. Unfortunately,
Harrison was forced to end his 2006 season early, after breaking his arm in a
hockey game.

Harrison started the season well with a string of podium finishes in the BRDA,
BTRDA and MDA Rallycross Championships. He was on a course for a top five finish
in the three championships.
Harrison had his cast removed, but the doctor recommended giving it lots of time
to heal properly. “Liam’s disappoint is an understatement,” said Rob Harrison,
Liam’s father. “Missing the final few races of the season are sadly
unavoidable.”
Liam Harrison will be 17 at the end of October and this means he will graduate
into one of the senior racing categories. He has options available in 2007.
“I will return again next season and we are close to announcing what class we’ll
be racing in,” said Liam Harrison. “It will be a big change from the Junior
Mini’s. That category provided a friendly but competitive crowd of drivers to
race against.”
Almost 90 percent of the cars in the MDA Championship circuit are fitted with
K&N products, said Ian Burdis of K&N Filters (Europe) Ltd.

The Harley Davidson steps out with authority on the highway, with a v-twin
engine that has always been its heart and soul. "K&N Engineering has been a
market leader with the Harley Davidson crowd since the first development of a
high-flow filter for the brand," said K&N Powersports Brand Manager Johnny Jump.
K&N provides significant increases in airflow while optimizing service
intervals from a washable re-usable filter. The K&N Filter has proven K&N's value, time and
time again.
Custom Air filter Assembly for Harley Davidson Motorcycles
The RK-Series of Filters put K&N on the map in terms of optimizing horsepower
from a production based intake assembly. The RK-3910-1, a Large Capacity, Custom
Assembly for Twin Cam Harley Davidson motorcycles is no different. "It has been
developed around an oversized K&N High-Flow Air Filter," said Jump.
"This assembly (RK-3910-1)
boosts performance, service intervals and filtration."
K&N Engineering designed the RK-3910-1
with a powder coated, billet aluminum backing plate, eliminating the external
breathers. K&N eliminates the external breathers and makes them internal. This vents the vapors from the crank case into the intake air stream for a nice clean installation. This assembly features a bolted-in, dyno-tuned velocity stack and internal run
breathers. The latest edition is designed to get more horsepower and retain the
stock appearance for 1999 through 2012 Twin Cam Harley-Davidson Motorcycles.
"The custom assembly keeps that factory appearance by utilizing the stock air
cleaner cover," said Jump. "The laser etched K&N high-flow insignia sets it
apart from the crowd."
"This K&N Kit (RK-3910-1)
has a taller air filter for the Harley customers who bore and stroke their
motors," said Dennis Mahan, K&N Powersports Business Manager. "If they want more
performance they have to have more air. We made this kit specifically for the
hopped up bikes and it allows Harley owners to get more air with this taller K&N
Filter."
As with all K&N High-Flow Air Filters, the RK-Series Air Filters can be cleaned,
re-used and is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
At this time the RK-Series Air Filter Assembly (RK-3910-1)
does not fit Twin Cam Engines with the Magnetti-Morelli fuel injection system.
The Magnetti-Morelli systems have an oval port and the K&N Kit fits a round
port.
Andy Forsberg won his first Pacific Sprint Fall Nationals Championship at Silver
Dollar Speedway in Chico, California. Forsberg also won Thursday night’s first
preliminary night feature in the 15th annual sprint car event for 360 motors. He
also picked up a $5000 first prize for winning Saturday’s 40-lap feature race.
Forsberg started out in the front row in his A&A Stepping Stone, K&N Filters,
Red Line Oil, Auto Meter, FK Rod Ends # 92 Thursday night. Early on the race was
going to be decided by either tire wear or catching the right breaks while
battling with traffic. Forsberg’s break came around lap eight when Willie Croft
made a mistake. Forsberg passed and won the race.

Forsberg uses K&N Engineering Products. “My dad raced and I grew up with
K&N Filters,” said Forsberg. “We use the K&N Oil and Air Filters and I wouldn’t
put anything else on our vehicles. The debris stays out of our engines with K&N
and the products work great.”
On Saturday night things changed for Forsberg came on lap eight when Hirst
drifted a little high going into turn one. Forsberg was in position and took the
lead coming out of turn two. On lap nine the first of six flat right rear tires
began to show when Korey Lovell and Brad Bumgarner had problems. “I had visions
of blowing out tires,” said Forsberg. “The track conditions and the weather were
big concerns.”
Forsberg continued to lead and work his way through traffic. On lap 26 Willie
Croft tangled with another car and flipped. During the red, the officials
allowed the crews to add air pressure to the tires and make minor adjustments
for the final four laps.

On the restart Forsberg’s crew continued to make the right calls and
helped Forsberg comfortably lead the race. The final four laps ended with the
top three staying in their spots. Kyle Hirst finished second and defending
champion Brent Kaeding finished third.
“Winning was icing on the cake,” said Forsberg. “Our next race is at Tulare,
California. I hope we get out of there in one piece.”

The battle for the 2006 MSA Gravel Rally Championship comes to an end on October
21st in the UK. The final round of the Bulldog Rally will play out on the fast
roads of Oswestry at Shropshire in the Mid Welsh forests.
Craig Middleton's Hyundai Accent WRC
Llandrindod Wells driver Craig Middleton and co-driver Robin Hernaman have a
shot at the championship. Middleton and Hernaman are in a good position after
taking their 3rd win of the season at Scotland. In the forest above Lock Ken in
Scotland, only two drivers broke the seven minute barrier; Middleton by six
seconds and Roger Duckworth by three seconds.
As the drivers went into stage 4 at Cairn Edward, Middleton was leading
Duckworth by 22 seconds. At the end Duckworth cracked an exhaust manifold and he
chose to finish the race. Middleton and Hernaman took a hard-earned victory.
An 8th place finish will guarantee the Hyundai Accent WRC pair the title, but
they will not take anything for granted. Roger Duckworth and co-driver Mark
Broomfield are close with their Subaru WRC. This year’s championship allows
crews to drop their two worst scores. In 2005 crews were only allowed to drop
one score.
Middleton and Hernaman use K&N Engineering Filters. “K&N gives the best
protection under any conditions,” said Graham Middleton, Craig’s father. “This
is vital because we run an expensive engine in the WRC Hyundai.”
Under the ANCRO Championship Standings scoring rules, Middleton and Hernaman are
the favorites, but the race at Bulldog Rally will determine who wins the title.

World of Outlaws Donny Schatz added a new chapter to a career-best season at
Knoxville Raceway by picking up a career WoO “A” Feature. It was the same track
where he captured the sports biggest race, the Super Clean Knoxville Nationals.
Schatz raced his No. 15 ParkerStore J&J with Shaver power into the lead on the
16th lap to capture his 15th “A” Feature victory of the season and 17th Outlaws
triumph in 2006.

“I’m happy to get back to victory lane,” said Schatz. “It doesn’t matter if we
win five or fifteen. We try to win as many as we can and get this championship
locked up.” Schatz has 8 more wins than the next highest winner in 2006, and has
a 311 point lead with only five nights of races remaining.
“We’ve been greedy all season trying to win as much as we could,” he said. “This
team felt like we might have had a chance for $50,000 at the last race but the
rain came and ended it 14 laps short of 40. The ParkerStore Team has been
working hard all season and winning this race was a testament to their efforts.”
Schatz and most of the other competitors had a difficult time figuring out what
the surface was going to do in the 25-lap feature. The event was a make-up race
originally scheduled for April. It also included the Knoxville Raceway Season
Championship Feature.
Donny Schatz WoO Points Leader
With the number of races that took place, most felt the track would take
rubber and primarily be a one-lane groove. The ParkerStore crew bolted on a pair
of tires that were harder compounds anticipating the rubber-down surface.
Schatz and the ParkerStore Team use K&N Engineering products. “K&N builds a
superior product,” he said. “The K&N Airbox works flawlessly and we are able to
attain maximum horsepower.
All of the competitors were hugging the bottom so Schatz tried to make the high
line work. In turns one and two, he lost ground, but in three and four the
cushion worked to his advantage. He used the high line to pass both Randy
Hannagan and Craig Dollansky on lap 16 to take the lead. Once in front, Schatz
worked his way through lapped traffic and picked up his 50th career World of
Outlaws “A” Feature.
“I didn’t really expect that. When you get out of line you are taking too many
chances. I don’t know if the rubber started to go away or what, but we were able
to get around the top in turns three and four. I tried it in one and two and
lost a lot of ground, but the other end was great. That’s what won us the race.
I got back down there in the rubber and was able to keep going up there and get
passed some lapped cars. It was good for us.”
