“The bottom line was there was a bad ass pair in the finals at Topeka,” said Dan Fletcher. “The race was there for the taking. I didn’t hit the tree the way I should have. I watched him coming at me at that was it. He won and I was schooled by the Comp Eliminator King, David Rampy.”
The conditions were hot and windy that day. The air temperature was 89 degrees with a relative humidity of 37 percent. The barometer was a little low and cars were a little slower overall.”
“When you race people you know, it makes it a little sweeter,” said Rampy. “I knew we would both make it to the finals and it would be a tough race. I was down about 1200 feet before I knew I would get around Dan for the win. He is really good and it felt great to beat a top notch team.” Rampy has used K&N products for years. “I use K&N air and oil filters,” he said. “The K&N dragster scoop is killer. It’s better aerodynamically.” Fletcher also uses K&N products. “I use the K&N Stubstack (85-0200) on the competition eliminator and K&N oil filters (HP-3002) on all my vehicles,” said Fletcher. “K&N products are ingenious, and my engines outlast and outperform thanks to K&N.” Next up for the pair will be in Chicago for the Torco Racing Fuels Route 66 NHRA Nationals.
