Featured just behind the customized K&N wrapped Polaris RZR/4 XP1000 is the Katie V Racing Polaris RZR XP900 piloted by professional model and accomplished UTV racer Katie Vernola. Shortly after graduating High School K&N's October 2015 calendar model Katie Vernola began modeling as an easy and fun way to earn money. Katie used her modeling gigs to save up the funds needed to purchase her Polaris Ranger RZR 900. Initially, Katie had no intention of racing her new side-by-side. But after she attended a Lucas Oil Regional Off-Road Series race as a spectator she caught the racing bug. Currently Katie races in both the Lucas Oil Regional Off-Road Series and the Terracross series.
Further back in this photo is professional short-course racer RJ Anderson showing us how to whip his Polaris RZR XP1000 through the turn below the famous Glen Helen Raceway sign. RJ Anderson is a professional off-road racer who currently competes in the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) in both the Pro-Lite and Pro 2 truck classes. Additionally, RJ races a Polaris RZR XP 1000 in the WORCS off-road racing series in the Pro UTV class. RJ Anderson became well known for the 2013 UTVUnderground.com video titled RJ Anderson XP1K and the follow up XP1K2 video. In these videos RJ Anderson is seen performing almost unthinkable stunts behind the wheel of his Polaris RZR XP1000 and in turn RJ has earned internet fame.
Not to be forgotten, of course, is the additional K&N October 2015 calendar model Miss Kayla Rae Reid. Kayla was born in Fairfax, Virginia before moving to Palm Springs, California as a youth. She began her modeling career at 21 and has aspirations of acting, casting for Sports Illustrated, and becoming a TV personality. When not modeling Kayla loves cooking, working out, being outdoors as well as spending quality time with friends and family.

Instead of a typical paper media, K&N's traditional high-flow American made air filters are built with 4-6 layers of cotton gauze pleated between coated wire screen mesh
In the early 1960's Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald, American racers who ran a motorcycle dealership and sold motorcycle accessories, became irritated with restrictive air filters that quickly became clogged. Their frustration inspired innovation and the washable / reusable K&N high-flow American made air filter was born. Instead of a typical paper media, K&N's traditional high-flow air filters are designed with 4-6 layers of premium cotton gauze pleated between coated wire screen mesh. Cotton naturally breathes easier than paper which increases airflow, reduces restriction, and can help an engine run better. K&N's secret to increased airflow without sacrificing engine protection lies in the specially designed K&N air filter oil suspended within thousands of microscopic cotton fibers.
K&N's Riverside, California based in-house research and development team designs a K&N air filter and tests each one for high airflow and outstanding engine protection
K&N replacement air filters are designed and manufactured in the United States at K&N's world headquarters in Riverside, California. The cotton gauze media and sturdy construction allow K&N air filters to be cleaned time and again. By using a K&N Recharger service kit, K&N air filters can be made to perform virtually like new. Washing and reusing a K&N air filter will save money over time when compared to buying paper air filters and helps reduce the waste associated with disposable filters. K&N air filters are American made and built to last. K&N has seen replacement K&N air filters used for over one-million miles.
K&N's high-flow cotton gauze media is pleated and trimmed, then K&N employees load air filter molds and filter media into specially designed K&N machines
K&N's Riverside, California based in-house research and development team designs a K&N air filter using computer aided drafting software for a precise fit inside the stock air filter box. K&N doesn't use the stock air filter during the design process except as a comparison for airflow and efficiency testing. Using a first article sample of an air filter, K&N's on-site air filtration efficiency testing lab tests each new air filter following ISO5011 testing protocols to ensure superior airflow and outstanding engine protection.
K&N's world famous high-flow cotton gauze media is pleated and trimmed to specific dimensions and pleat count using up to 6 layers of cotton in specially designed standard or tight weave varieties. To build a K&N American air filter, employees load air filter molds and filter media into specially designed K&N machines. After a K&N air filter is removed from the mold, excess plastisol or urethane material is trimmed by hand.
Most K&N air filters come pre-oiled from the U.S. based factory with a precise amount of oil applied to each part number based on the amount of cotton being used. After final packaging K&N air filters are boxed up and ready to be installed. In most cases a K&N replacement air filter can be installed without the use of tools in less than five minutes. In addition to standard replacement air filters, K&N performance air filters are used in almost every form of motorsports and undergo an entirely different level of testing not found in everyday driving.
K&N has the confidence to guaranty its American made air filters for 10-years or one million miles. Additionally, K&N stands behind its products with a consumer protection pledge.

Legends Cars are 5/8 scale purpose built race cars powered by a 122 horsepower Yamaha 1200/1250 cc motorcycle engine & styled after pre-World War II Ford, Chevy or Dodge bodies
John Mickel was born with oval racing in his blood. His father competed in local UK stock car events before introducing John to Mini Stocks, running on quarter mile ovals, at the tender age of 10. Before the age of 19, John had already become a World and European Champion on short ovals with Superstox, an open wheeled racer similar to American Outlaws. In 2001, John became a UK and World Legends Champion on a road course as well as a European SCSA Champion, a sanctioning body equivalent to the American Speed Association, on large ovals.
John Mickel and the Mickel Motorsport Team rely on K&N filters to keep their 122 horsepower Yamaha 1200/1250 cc motorcycle engine powered Legends cars running at their best
Currently K&N sponsored driver John Mickel competes in the 2015 UK Legends Championship. Legends Cars are 5/8 scale purpose built race cars based on pre-World War II Ford, Chevy and Dodge bodies. Eight body styles are produced but each car is powered by a 122 horsepower Yamaha 1200/1250 cc motorcycle engine. With a full tube frame chassis, Bilstein coil over shocks, and 13” wide racing slicks, Legends cars accelerate like a rocket and stick to the track like a roller coaster.

K&N Air Filters supported John Mickel arrived at Snetterton Circuit for round 14 of the 2015 UK Legends Championship on a high note following a full sweep of six race wins out of six races at the last meeting at Silverstone Circuit. John’s good fortune continued with three race wins on day one at Snetterton Circuit followed by two more race wins the following day. Unfortunately John’s third race on day two at Snetterton ended with a DNF, but having set a new lap record of 2.14.869, John couldn’t complain.

John Mickel’s final race of the weekend ended because of another driver who was later penalized for driving dangerously. Despite this DNF John still finished third overall for the day. Further rule infringements for other drivers could possibly push John up into second place overall for the day. The decision is still pending. The official Championship points have not yet been published; however, the Mickel Motorsport Team believes that their points lead has been extended to over 700 points.
John Mickel drove every race at Snetterton Circuit like his number 4 K&N filters equipped K-Seal UK Legends Championship car was on rails. The handling and the setup of the K&N powered orange mean machine was untouchable by any other driver that weekend and no matter where John started on the grid, when he finished, he finished in first place.
K&N Filters sponsored 12-year old Jake Andreotti became the 1st repeat King of California title holder in 2 different classes, both in rookie years, & secured Lemoore Raceway Championship
12-year old Jake Andreotti drove the K&N Filters equipped number 7p Super 600 Micro sprint to one of the most prestigious titles in California. Jake became the first repeat King of California title holder in two different classes, and both in his rookie year for each class. Andreotti Racing credits “Hard work, dedication, perseverance and the want to challenge himself along with his supportive sponsors helped win this title.”
Heading into the final round Jake was 5 points behind the championship leader. Jake never let the pressure get to him, and instead thrived under pressure. Andreotti set the fast time out of 14 cars, finished 4th in the heat race before going on to win main event. With this win Jake not only won his second King of California title, but he also won the Super 600 Micro Sprint Lemoore Championship and the Budweiser Grand Prix title.
The King of California race was comprised of 25 races at both Lemoore Raceway and Plaza Park Raceway. After the first 16 races, the points were reset sending only the top ten into the King of California title chase. The King of California title was decided over the remaining 9 races.
Andreotti Racing would like to thank their sponsors for believing in Jake and supporting him throughout the season. In 2016 Andreotti Racing will be adding a CS9 Micro Sprint to their racing program and will be running two cars in two classes with the hopes of one day winning a prestigious Golden Driller award at the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals.
