41st Annual SCORE Baja 1000 Great Run for K&N Sponsored Trophy Truck

Dec 18, 2008

The Baja 1000 is a grueling 630 mile off-road race through extreme and diverse terrain. Damen and Casey Jefferies took on that challenge at the 41st Annual SCORE Baja 1000 in their K&N sponsored No. 22 Trophy Truck.

The brothers finished in 10th place at Baja and earned a 5th place spot overall in the final points standings for the SCORE Trophy Truck class for the year. The K&N sponsored No. 22 Trophy Truck was also only one of three Trophy Trucks that finished every mile of every dusty desert SCORE race this year.

The Baja 1000 started in downtown Ensenada, Mexico, headed to Ojos Negros through the Pine Forest to the La Rumarosa Grade. The La Rumarosa Grade is a 3400 vertical foot drop to the floor of the lower Mexican desert.

From there, the race took the competitors south towards San Felipe, skirting the Laguna Salada dry lake bed along the way. The course continued with a 125 mile loop through San Felipe’s sandy washes and rough desert terrain. The Jefferies’ proceeded west towards Mike’s Sky Ranch, across to the Pacific Ocean, back to Ojos Negros to eventually finish in Ensenada.

The Baja 1000 started on November 21st late in the morning. As a result, more than half of the event was run in the dark. The Jefferies brothers started in the 23rd position out of 26 Trophy Trucks. The very technical course was extremely dusty.

“Mexico is much more difficult to race in the dark,” said Damen Jefferies. “Starting this far back, we had our work cut out for us.” The brothers had moved up 14 positions and were running 9th by the time they reached their first pit stop at mile 116 in La Rumarosa.

“The entire race was business as usual,” said Jefferies. “We ran anywhere from 4th to 7th place throughout the day. When we reached mile 519 we slid into a booby trap, which was a huge hole that was dug into the sand along the beach.” It was very dark and Jefferies saw the big hole at the last second and were not able to turn away in time. “We made it through the hole,” he said. “But our momentum had slowed too much and we got stuck. It took 35 to 40 minutes for us to dig out.” They lost two spots because of the booby trap and moved down from 5th position.

“I was trying to get back up to 5th place,” said Jefferies. “We may have hurt he transmission getting unstuck, but we had nothing to lose and we tried to improve our position by pushing hard. I’m still happy because even though we didn’t make 4th we finished every mile of every race this year.” Damen and Casey Jefferies also placed 15th overall in the 4-wheel vehicle class at Baja.

Most drivers share duties with a crew during the Baja 1000, but Damen and Casey Jefferies were in their Trophy Truck for the entire time. The K&N Trophy Truck uses 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,” said Jefferies. “We can depend on K&N in the toughest and most severe conditions.

Add Estimated 9.6 Horsepower to 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010 Toyota Tundra with K&N Air Intake System

Dec 16, 2008

The Toyota Tundra is a full-size half-ton pickup that was completely redesigned in 2007. It is larger than its predecessors in every dimension.

K&N dynamometer testing shows an estimated 9.6 horsepower gain @ 4743 RPM. K&N’s air intake design has lower restriction than the factory air box system. The result is a power gain you can feel immediately along with excellent air filtration.

The intake tubes on the 77-9033KP use a CNC machined mass air sensor adaptor. K&N's design ensures the mass air sensor will work with the factory's stock settings. The air intake tube and K&N air filter attach together with an adaptor which provides for a smooth transition for the air entering the tube.

The chrome top K&N high flow air filter (RF-1020) allows virtually free flowing air into the mandrel bent aluminum intake tube. Inside the filter, multiple layers of cotton are treated with 1.84 ounces of K&N air filter oil which traps and holds dust particles while allowing air to pass by with little restriction. The size of the K&N air filter also allows it to go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is necessary.

The heat shield assembly is installed into the engine compartment using factory mounting points. A tube mounting bracket supports the intake tube which is mounted to the engine. The heat shield isolates the K&N air filter from the engine compartment and allows it to receive a consistent flow of fresh air. Installation can be performed in less than 90 minutes.

K&N's 77-9033KP air intake is also backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
