Sportsman drag racer Brian Folk has a racing resume that goes back two decades.
He started the 2007 season with seven IHRA national event wins and nine NHRA
national events. He has five IHRA division titles and numerous big dollar
bracket races. At the end of 2007, he added the one thing that was missing to
his resume, a World Championship.
Folk Racing's Camaro Roadster
His nemesis in 2007 was defending Super Rod champion Steve Furr. In
September, Folk’s luck began to change at Osceola Dragway in Indiana. He
destroyed his engine in his Super Rod Cavalier and brought in an untried Camaro
Roadster.
Undefeated Camaro Roadster
“We built the Camaro from the ground up at our Folk Race Cars shop,” said
Folk. “We had been running our Cavalier since 1990 and when the engine blew we
decided to finish out the rest of the year in the so-called “Rat Rod.”
The first race in the Rat Rod began one of the most phenomenal runs in IHRA
Sportsman Class history. Folk drove the Camaro to back-to-back victories at
Osceola, giving him the opportunity to challenge Furr for the World
Championship.
Folk took the Rat Rod to Milan, Michigan for his third Super Rod victory in two
weeks at the IHRA Suzuki Motor City Nationals in Milan Dragway in Michigan. Folk
passed Furr by a single round and the Super Rod championship was up for grabs.
At the IHRA World Finals in Rockingham, North Carolina, Folk had never won an
event, but Furr dominated at the facility over the last several seasons. Both
racers won their first and second round matches.
In round three Furr came up just short against Peabody Harrell. “I knew that
when Steve Furr came up short I was just one win light away from the World
Championship,” said Folk. “I raced against former IHRA World Champion Steve
Corker, and I was able to move on to knock out James Sessoms in the final round
to claim the IHRA World Nationals victory.”
Folk uses K&N Engineering products. “The K&N oil filters are our biggest asset,”
he said. “The dirt stays out of our engines and we get the filtration we need to
help us get to the championship.”
Folk plans to paint the undefeated Rat Rod before the season starts up again in
February at the IHRA opener in Florida. “We’re thinking about red and white
stripes,” he said. “It will look good on the car. No one saw this win coming,
it’s amazing to be the 2007 IHRA Super Rod World Champion.”

Jonathan Allard used a front row starting spot at Kings Speedway in Hanford,
California to lead all 30 laps of the 410 Cotton Classic feature and win the

out Brent Kaeding’s total of nine 410 wins.

K&N Filters No. 0
“We really like racing at Kings Speedway,” said Allard. “It’s also great to see
all the fans come back and support the Cotton Classic. I hope we can do this for
years to come.”
Allard lined up on the outside of the front row in the K&N Filters No.0 at the
start of the main event. As he took the lead, the yellow lights came on and
forced a complete restart. This time Allard had a great jump off turn four and
led the 21 car field in the contest.
There were numerous stops throughout the race for hazards and it slowed the
flow. Allard had nothing to worry about until the midway point. San Jose’s Tim
Kaeding was able to move around Ronnie Day for second place. Allard was able to
keep a safe distance between himself and Kaeding as the laps wound down and the
checkered flag waved, Allard brought the K&N Filters No. 0 home in victory lane.
“The whole crew gave me a great car,” said Allard. “The dirt on the tracks is
very tough on racing engines. Out team knows we don’t have to worry because we
have the K&N air box. It’s easy to maintain and allows us to achieve maximum
horsepower every night. Horsepower equals winning.”
Allard plans to race in Australia after Christmas and began with the World of
Outlaws in February.

The 2007 Las Vegas Bracket Nationals have gone away with the Thanksgiving
leftovers, but the holiday race was a blast for K&N Engineering Project Manger
and Super Pro driver Jonathan Fiello.
Jonathan Fiello at Las Vegas Bracket Nationals
Teams from 20 states and two Canadian provinces converged on the four-day
Thanksgiving weekend race at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “Competition
was tough,” said Fiello. “There were at least 180 cars.”
Jonathan Fiello
Fiello owns a 2003 undercover dragster with a 635 cubic inch big block
Chevrolet with K&N Engineering products. It is fuel injected on alcohol and runs
about 1200 horsepower.
For the Bracket Nationals, he raced Carl Cannavo’s 2007 Yancer Dragster 598
cubic inch big block Chevrolet. “Carl is my good friend and we make a good
team,” said Fiello. “He does the set up for the race and I do the driving.”
Competitors had to go nine rounds for a final opportunity to win $5,000. Fiello
did well on Thursday and lost in the 6th round. “On Friday, I lost in the 3rd
round and Saturday I lost in the 6th round,” he said. “On Sunday we blew a head
gasket in the motor. Overall, it was a blast.”
The bracket nationals put a lot of wear and tear on the race vehicles. “We used
K&N oil filter (HP-3002) and a K&N air filter on Carl’s car,” said
Fiello. “The K&N air filter keeps the dirt and particles from the track out of
the engine and increases horsepower. The oil filter meets all our demands as
racers. The heavy duty construction and sturdy one-inch wrench nut make oil
filter removal quick and easy. The K&N oil filter also keeps our motor clean.”
Fiello did not participate in the $45,000 Ultimate Gambler. “The car was
struggling too much for us to spend the $1,000 entry fee,” he said. “Kyle Seipel
defeated K&N racer Peter Biondo to claim the big money.” However, Biondo won the
Madcap Ultimate Engine Giveaway Presented by Mike’s Transmissions.
The next race for Fiello will be at Las Vegas in late January. He will start
testing his own car there in the NHRA Top Comp Class.
