Fort Worth, TX (October 20, 2006) – Mike Kidd
Entertainment Group (MKEG) – one of the country’s leading motorcycle race
producers, is proud to announce that K&N Filters has re-signed as the
presenting sponsor of the BooKoo Arenacross Championship Series.
K&N Engineering, Inc. is the presenting sponsor for the 2006/2007 BooKoo
Arenacross Series. K&N came on board at the ground level for the series
during the inaugural 2005/2006 season where product, service and success were
and continue to be key elements of K&N’s sponsorship. In addition, K&N
posted over $20,000 in Contingencies for the 2006/2007 Racing Season. If the
riders aren’t running K&N Filters in the bike now, K&N is offering them
a profit center if they decide to give them a try.
“I’ve been a supporter of K&N since 1971,” said Mike Kidd, Arenacross
Director. “K&N is a long standing name in the automotive and motorcycle
industries. K&N’s credibility helps us with other sponsors and fans.”
Josh Demuth and Babbit's Kawasaki put K&N on the podium many times winning
the BooKoo Arenacross Championship Series. Providing a product that top riders
can use and win with is one of the goals of K&N. “If our product can prove
itself on the dyno and to the rider, then we’ve done our job,” said K&N
Brand Manager Johnny Jump. “I’m here to ensure these guys get the service they
deserve. Backing up a BooKoo Arenacross Championship is no easy task. K&N
is working closely with a couple of key teams, hoping for some luck and another
championship.”
In Arenacross, the start is one of the most important areas of the race. It can
be hard to make passes and there is not a lot of time. Riders with K&N
products can get out early and others have a hard time catching up. Throttle
response off the line and horsepower to the rear wheel are some of the main
benefits K&N offers.
“I rode professional Flat Track Racing from 1970 through 1983,” said Kidd. “In
1981 I was the AMA Grand National Champion. I have always used K&N and
would never use another filter.”
“We appreciate Mike Kidd Productions offering K&N the Presenting Sponsor
opportunity for the BooKoo Arenacross Championship Series for 2006/2007,” said
K&N Vice President of Product Development and Engineering Steve Williams.
“K&N realizes the growth of the Off-Road and motocross industry and its
customers. It is our direction to grow with it, as a recognized supporter and
leader of this market.”
The BooKoo Arenacross Series is a National Championship Series which gives
local racers the opportunity to race against the nation’s best best arenacross
riders in the country.
