The Lovell brothers were the only Pro-Modified team to finish all the courses on the first day for a 24 point lead. The second day was intense because a radio problem caused their No. 232 Ranger to hit a couple of cones on the first run. The cone penalty cost the Lovell brothers their huge lead.

On the next day, they were determined to regain the lead. They hit the courses just right and remained upright and between the cones. “I knew it was going to be tight,” said Brad Lovell. “I was really worked up about the additional points we could make if we conquered a bonus climb no one had finished. I was asking anyone and everyone if we should try it. We did and that is the only reason we had the lead again. It was a good gamble.”

The lead was so good that Brad and Roger Lovell took home their second We-Rock win of the season and a strong lead in the 2009 series. The Lovell brothers use K&N products. “There is a lot of debris on the We-Rock courses,” said Lovell. “Our K&N air filters keep the silt and fine dust out of our engines. K&N also prevents our sensors from clogging.”

Brad and Roger Lovell are preparing to race the legendary Baja 500 in June.

"K&N is good for our business," said Wigham. "K&N is a very good product and we love the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. We get extra filtration, more power and K&N is cost effective because K&N lasts."

The European Rally School and Motorsport Park also has an ATV Safari course. It is a three mile custom built course that expands through the Florida wilderness. The track also features a variety of obstacles as log piles, jumps, bomb holes, very steep climbs, extreme washboards and a lot more.

"We provide ATV training for the military," said Wigham. "We have terrain, obstacles and water crossings that replicate situations our soldiers might face in Afghanistan. We also do night training. There is a correct way and an incorrect way to ride an ATV going over a huge mountain and we provide that knowledge."

The Wigham’s fly K&N flags all over their facility and hand out K&N literature to people that attend their classes. Their new 2.0 mile 16 paved road course has elevation changes, cambered turns, crests and blind corners. "From Vintage racing to Rally driving to Performance we can accommodate most people," said Wingham. "Racing is an excellent stress reliever."

The first day of competition was difficult for the Factory Aprilia Team. Davies crashed when a rider in front of him dragged dirt on the track with his knee. Davies picked up his RSV1000R and continued the race. He finished in 28th place and managed to turn the fastest lap of the race. Thompson finished 19th.

The next day riders and fans faced tornados and thunderstorms. The AMA managed to get in three races during a break in the weather. Race Day Two began with a wet but drying track. Davies and Thompson had great starts and Davies was in immediate contention for the lead. Thompson raced through the field well into the top ten.

The Aprilia RSV1000R's are equipped with K&N air and oil filters. “We use K&N on everything we build,” said Team Manager Chip Spalding. “K&N protects our engines from track debris.”

“The team took advantage of the short three week break between rounds and made huge improvements to the Aprilia RSV1000R,” said Davies. “We had a podium finishing bike both days but we just did not have the right circumstances.”
