The city of Prague in the Czech Republic will host round six of the 2007 World
Speedway Championship Grand Prix Series on Saturday July 28.

Defending World Champion Jason Crump plans to close the points gap between
his sixth place standing and the leaders. The 31-year-old double World Champion
just completed the World Cup for Australia and scored at the top of the pack. He
is also encouraged since his podium finish at Cardiff a little over three weeks
ago.

“Cardiff was a good test for me,” said Crump. “I had just two points from
my first two rides. I had to get through the final and I was glad to be back on
the podium again. At Prague, I’ll be heading for an ever higher place on the
podium.”
The Czech Grand Prix will be held at the Marketa Stadium. Crump is familiar with
the venue and has tasted success there previously. “I’ve won three times there
but record books don’t win races,” he said. “I’ve got to be on the ball the
entire night, get my stats right and get the points during the heats. From
there, I have to get in the final and win.”
There are still six races to go for the Australian ace. He still has a chance to
take the series for the third time. Crump uses K&N Engineering products. “The
K&N Filters keep the dirt out of the engine,” he said. “K&N is the best for dirt
track racing.”

Marshall Stewart is only 9-years-old but he was able to capture a trophy for the
first half of the 2007 Summer Cross 65cc Open Championship at Lake Elsinore
Motorsports Park in California.

The Series is split in half during the summer. Marshall was awarded the
trophy on the first day of the second half of the series. “The day started out
really well,” said Chris Roberts, Marshall’s father. “He was really excited and
jumped up and down with his trophy. It is almost as big as he is.”

“We use K&N Filters exclusively on Marshall’s Motorcycle,” said Roberts. “With
the dry and dusty conditions at the track, we need engine protection as much as
good air flow. K&N’s
KA-8088 provides what we need.”
Marshall has been racing for three years and is known for his consistent
finishes. In the second half of the Summer Cross Series Marshall started with a
rebuilt Kawasaki. “I jetted the bike wrong and practice one ended quickly for
Marshall,” said Roberts. “After a quick adjustment Marshall was flying in
practice two,” said Roberts. “He had to get used to the new power in his
Kawasaki 65.”
Unfortunately, two laps into the race, Marshall’s 64 went down and he was pinned
under the bike. “He experienced his first ride in the EMT Mule,” said Roberts.
“My son had a bruised ankle. They gave him an ice pack, and an ace bandage and
Marshall went back to the track to cheer on his competition.”
Marshall’s father works for K&N Engineering as a National Accounts Manager. He
also uses K&N products on his tow vehicle. “We travel back and forth between
races all the time,” he said. “I haul a trailer, bikes and parts and my Nissan
Titan needs extra power. With K&N’s
63-6012 on my Titan I gain an additional 11
horsepower. It makes getting to the track that much easier.”
Marshall will be back next week to continue the series.

The Chevrolet Cobalt is designed by GM with a strong, stiff platform for crisp
handling and a smooth ride. It is available in a variety of distinct trim levels
in either a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan.
Air Intake for 2006 to 2008 Chevy Cobalt
K&N Engineering has designed a new cold air intake
(69-4517TTK) in textured black for the 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt 2.4 liter
engine. Built for performance and show K&N Typhoon Air Intake Systems are
proven on a rear-wheel dynamometer to increase horsepower and torque.

Power Gain Chart for Chevy Cobalt with K&N Air Intake
K&N dynamometer test shows a 15.94 horsepower gain @ 5900 RPM for this K&N air
intake. The radius adapter helps provide smooth air flow into the intake tube.
The 69-4517TTK uses the factory Mass Air Flow sensor and a Lifetime K&N High Flow Air
Filter (RU-5147).
The heat shield isolates the K&N engine compartment and allows the K&N Air
Filter to receive a consistent flow of cool fresh air. The mass air sensor is
installed in the K&N intake tube and is an important part of the overall
horsepower gain with this system.
The design of the Cobalt played a major roll in the development of this
air intake system. K&N Engineering took special care to ensure that it followed
the Cobalt's lines.
It takes 90 minutes or less to
install most K&N Air Intakes with common tools.
K&N Air Intake Systems come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
K&N's popular custom air filter assembly, part RK-3909-1,
was designed to provide better performance while retaining the stock appearance
of
1999-2007 Twin Cam® Harley-Davidson® engines (see
applications). It comes with a powder coated billet
aluminum back plate that eliminates external breathers and features a built-in, dyno-tuned velocity stack. The resulting
design provides significant airflow increase to the
engine without sacrificing filtration. This product has generated a lot of
excitement from Harley-Davidson motorcycle owners.
Brian Keller of Boston, Massachusetts has a 2005 Harley Davidson Road King
Classic with 27,500 miles. He also has a K&N Engineering Air Filter
Assembly (RK-3909-1).

“K&N makes a terrific product,” said Keller. “After adding Bassani
True-Dual Powercurve pipes with Reverse Cone Megaphone slip-ons, a Dynojet power
commander and the K&N High Flow Air Filter, I gained some serious horsepower and
torque.”
Brian Keller said K&N adds horsepower and torque to his Harley
Keller said having a motorcycle can be all about power and torque, but safety is
also important. “When I get on the highway I have the throttle I need,” he said.
“The bike has instant power with a little twist.”
One of the reasons Keller bought his Twin Cam Harley Davidson was for long
distance riding. “It’s super smooth and I can go 400 miles in comfort,” he said.
“I recommend
RK-3909-1 to everyone I ride with. When I added the K&N Air Filter it was
a
smooth ride all the time. It is like night and day with the K&N Air Filter. My
Harley runs like it’s brand new.”
“Wizard Cycles of Nashua, New Hampshire installed the K&N Air Filter
Assembly and pipes
for me,” said Keller. “Speeds Performance Plus of Elk River, Minnesota installed
my Power Commander and I dyno-tuned my bike at Laconia Bike Week this year. K&N
gives me the extra juice I need and allows me to keep up with the Screaming
Eagle Harley engines. It’s also about having a good time, knowing I have a
fantastic K&N Air Filter."
Kenneth Roberg of Franklin Park, Illinois also installed K&N’s
RK-3909-1.
“At the same time I installed a new exhaust system and a fuel pack which
coordinates the right fuel mix with my setup,” said Roberg. “For the most part I
am satisfied and have noticed better fuel mileage. By the way, the K&N Filter
fits behind the stock cover perfectly.”
Paul Haberstroh is a professional photographer in Lafayette, Colorado. He knows
film and he knows K&N Filters. Haberstroh also drives a 2007 Harley Davidson
Road King Classic around his beautiful small town.

“I’ve used K&N Air Filters for as long as I can remember and I’ve had a
camera in my hand for as long as I remember,” said the 49-year-old. “I used to
ride a BMW, but I went to Harley when they came out with the Twin-Cam engine and
the retro classic styling.”

Haberstroh equipped his Harley with K&N Engineering’s
RK-3909-1.
“I really noticed a difference in the throttle,” said Haberstroh. “K&N also
improved my acceleration. It’s amazing how good the gas mileage is with K&N on
my Harley. This is a very comfortable machine. I can go hundreds of miles on it
and gas mileage is important.”
The Colorado wedding photographer also drives a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 pick up. “I
put a K&N 63-Series AirCharger Air Intake on my Dodge,” he said. “I live at 6000 feet and my work frequently takes me up
to 10,000 feet in elevation. Normally I’d lose performance, but with K&N I never
have to worry about that. My Dodge works well in the thin air with K&N. It
really makes a difference in performance for people like me who live in the
higher elevations.”
Haberstroh quit his day job ten years ago to start Distinctive Imaging, Inc., in
Colorado. He took his camera and he took his commitment to K&N.
In sprint car racing, July is the so-called “Month of Money.” Donny Schatz and
his ParkerStore Team are having a good week, to the tune of $80,000.
Donny Schatz wins Silver Cup
The Defending World of Outlaws Champion scored his second consecutive Don
Martin Memorial Silver Cup at Lerneville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. The
Fargo, North Dakota racer earned $30,000 for the win, only four days after his
$50,000 victory in Saturday’s 24th annual Kings Royal by Crown Royal.

“This is what it’s all about,” said Schatz. “It’s always about winning races,
but when you can string a couple of really big ones together that really keeps a
team motivated. Now we’re just thinking about heading down the road and focusing
on getting the next one.”
The night did not start well for Schatz who qualified 23rd in the field of 46
cars. In the heat he worked his way from the sixth place starting position into
the second place position to qualify for the Crane Cams Dash. He started third
and finished second in the five-lap race to earn a front row starting spot in
the 40-lap A Feature.
Craig Dollansky shot out to an early lead with Schatz chasing him. At lap 10
Schatz pushed in front of the pack in a non-stop race that only took less than
eleven minutes to complete.
“We knew Craig was going to get a quick start,” said Schatz. “He was working the
cushion pretty good and we just stayed patient and made the bottom work. I knew
I was going to have to be able to race all over the place. I wasn’t sure if
anyone was close at the end, so I just kept charging forward.”
The victory came with a comfortable margin for Schatz. He won as Dollansky was
entering the third turn. Donny Schatz uses K&N Engineering Products. “The K&N
airbox allowed us to keep clean air going through our engine,” said Schatz. “Our
engine produced more than enough horsepower for us to win.”
Schatz heads to the Cleveland Brothers Summer Nationals at Williams Grove
Speedway. The finale offers $20,000 to the winner.
