Now that we have both a new intake scoop and filter combination available for the world’s fastest hot rods, we decided to put up the money to see who is really the fastest. We are very excited to have this event take place at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park, as it is an awesome facility and should produce world record performances. The entire K&N family is excited and proud to be working with NHRA, Bill Bader and the entire Pro Stock community to make the ’08 K&N Horsepower Challenge something very special.”
