What an exceptional year it was for the JM2 Team in 2017 finishing with the AIRAID-sponsored team at the top. Jeremy McGrath and Brock Heger were on fire this year by being fast, consistent, and sometimes lucky. Throughout the 2017 season of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, the two were consistently on the podium in all three classes.

Brock had an amazing year racing his Yamaha YXZ in the Production UTV class and in his Prolite. Between the two classes, he finished with the same number of podium finishes in each with six wins, two second places, and two third place finishes. The difference between the two was in his Yamaha, Brock only had three races that he was not on the podium and he had a fourth, fifth, and a sixth place finish in those races. With this consistency, Brock was able to win the championship in his Yamaha.

In Brock’s Prolite, it was a complete opposite to his Yamaha in his non-podium finishes. Two of the three races Brock would end up breaking the truck and was not able to finish those races. But even with the two low finishes, Brock would still be battling for the championship in his truck all the way to the end. In the end, he would finish in second place in points and only fourteen points behind the leader, enough to finish the season being the driver with the most wins.

Jeremy would battle just as hard in his Pro2, competing against some of the best drivers in the premiere short course class. Jeremy was fast and consistent all season long, with all top five finishes and finishing every lap all season long. Jeremy had a stretch of three consecutive weekends where he finished with a win and a third, giving him six straight podiums. He also was on the podium two other times with a win and a third, giving him a total of four wins and four thirds. With this consistency, Jeremy would win his first off-road championship with the 2017 Pro2 Championship. Jeremy said, "I have been working for almost ten years in short course to get here. This Lucas Oil Series and its competitors are like family and it means a great deal to me. I couldn’t do it without the support of my family, my dedicated hard-working crew, and sponsors that believe in me."

The awards seemed to be endless at the awards banquet for the JM2 Team. With Brock and Jeremy both taking home their championship trophies and Brock’s second-place trophy, the team would be surprised with several other awards that would be announced at the banquet. The first one that was given to the team went to Jeremy which was the Rick Huseman Award for most innovative driver. With one of the top awards going to Jeremy, Brock was just as surprised when he was announced as the Driver of the Year, which is voted on by fellow racers. Brock said, “I am completely blown away to receive this award and owe everything to my mom and dad for getting me here. I have been racing my whole life and love every second of it. Thank you to the JM2 crew and my sponsors for the continued support.” You would think after those two awards there wasn’t much more left, but the team was surprised once again. The JM2 Team would be announced as the Lucas Oil Off Road Team of the Year. Team owner Jeremy McGrath said, “It’s really an unbelievable feeling right now! Off-road racing is a ton of work and long hours, but every member of the team does their job and truly loves racing and being at the track. Thank you very much for an awesome season Lucas Oil.”

The 2017 season became an epic year for Jeremy McGrath, Brock Heger, and the JM2 Team with championships and almost all the top awards from the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing banquet. The 2017 season is going to be almost impossible to replicate, and there are not many more awards that can be received by a driver. Brock also was a nominee for the Impact Award in desert racing for the Off-Road Motorsports Hall Of Fame. So watch out for this team to be on top in 2018 and try to continue the amazing run they are on.

AIRAID Team Drivers: The Road to the OUSCI Championship

Ken Thwaits AIRAID Equipped 2006 Mitsubishi EVO

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational and the 2017 OUSCI is in the books. OUSCI was created by Optima’s Product Development and Marketing Director, Cam Douglass, and veteran racer and CEO and President of FM3 Performance Marketing Jimi Day. The event has drawn the most incredible talent from around the globe and this year was no different.

AIRAID team drivers Jordan Priestley and Ken Thwaits have plotted, planned, built, and rebuilt all in an effort to be the “best”, to be the winner when it came to OUSCI. From attention to every detail that would wow and impress the judges for the Lingenfelter Design & Engineering portion of the event, to their decision to maintain the street worthiness of their rides making the Lucas Oil Road Rally comfortable and reliable, Jordan and Ken definitely brought their “A” Game to SEMA and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

But the Road to Optima’s 2017 OUSCI hasn’t been simple for either competitor. They’ve faced challenges, experienced up and downs, but at the heart, they are every bit competitors. In fact, both of these gentlemen credit improved diets and exercise, along with a can-do attitude to their continued success. Explaining that even though they compete in street cars, these guys, these incredible brand ambassadors are determined to showcase their sponsors' equipment, the equipment that makes their street cars so darn competitive, in the best way they know how. For them, that means a podium finish whenever and wherever they can.

Throughout 2017, Jordan was actively competing, he and JDP Motorsports (the family-owned business) were busy with R&D on his JDP Motorsports AIRAID-equipped C7 Corvette, “Bernice”. Improvements included an LG Motorsports carbon fiber side skirts and front splitter along with an Anderson Composites dry carbon hood. To accommodate the new hood JDP Motorsports custom fabricated a brand new duct system sure to please the OPTIMA D&E judges. Thunderstruck Hot Rod & Custom Cycles handled the fit and finish details that perfectly compliment the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette’s already amazing body lines. All the while making changes and racing Bernice in events around the country. All the while, our AIRAID team driver was running a successful business and managed to relocate the family home! To say his plate was full would be an understatement!

AIRAID team driver, Ken Thwaits; the man, the myth, the legend!

Over 1,600 miles away in Nashville, Tennessee, AIRAID team driver, Ken Thwaits story wasn’t all that different from Priestley’s. Ken started his year with the USCA season opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway coming away with a 1st place finish in the Powerstop Brakes Speed Stop Challenge and an overall 2nd place finish for the event. He seemed to be off to a great start in his AIRAID-equipped 2006 EVO. Thwaits would go on to the next USCA event at New Orleans Motorsports Park, Louisiana, where he would finish second behind Mike DuSold in GTL Class. At the National Corvette Museum, even with gremlins challenging he and his Showtime Motorsports Team, he came away with another second-place finish. Once again the brass ring eluded him. But all was not lost. It was at NCM that he received the OUSCI Invite.

It’s important to note that Ken Thwaits is first and foremost a businessman, second a “racer”! Owner of Showtime Motorsports and Apparel, Ken has stepped further into apparel with the recent opening of Franklin Road Apparel Company, a unique upscale men’s clothing store in Franklin, Tennessee. Turns out Thwaits happens to be more than just a great driver, he’s great dresser too. He saw a need for men and took action. He’s created the ideal men’s store with great brands, incredible customer service, flat screen tv’s and access to his private 25 car collection of vintage Camaros! We wouldn’t expect anything less from him.

However, starting a new business isn’t all Ken had on his mind this past year. You may recall that at the 2016 OUSCI he suffered damage to the EVO’s top end that required a down and dirty, last minute, under the wire swap that afforded him just one run on the Falken Tires Hot Lap Challenge. That valiant effort unfortunately didn’t prove to be enough for him to steal the win from the three time consecutive winner, Danny Popp. Perhaps that alone was reason enough for him to work tirelessly on creating what he called a bulletproof package that would ultimately crown him victor at the 10th Anniversary running of OUSCI at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. But before that could happen, he had more qualifying to do!

He suffered some mechanical setbacks, specifically a suspension break at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Turned out the lower control arm snapped on the autocross that required he and his team of Tyler Powell, Bob McCann, plus Graham Behan to get back to the drawing board if they were going to be able to make a serious run at OUSCI come November. Working with JJ Furillo from Ultimate Performance allowed them to design a suspension system that could take the punishment of Thwaits behind the wheel. The team suffered multiple blown motors throughout the year. During Speed Stop and Autocross the EVO ran flawlessly. However, on the road course, the motor ran too lean ultimately causing failure. Behan discovered that they would need to replace the fuel system to correct the problem and the team was back in business! Before OUSCI the Showtime Team elected to tear the car down to the bucket and rebuild it piece by piece stronger, better and even added a few aesthetic fit and finish touches handled by his friends at Triworks in Nashville in an effort to score higher in D&E. Ken was leaving nothing to chance this year. He was hungry for a win. You know what they say, number two always tries harder and he was going for broke!

OUSCI is to say the very least one of the toughest events partly because it immediately follows the SEMA Show, which is really an event all in itself! So much to see and do, from the new products unveilings, educational seminars, sponsor meetings, and so much more. It can leave the SEMA newcomer feeling wiped out! But for our team drivers, Jordan and Ken, this simply adds to the excitement.

This year OUSCI featured a new format that had the one hundred competitors racing head to head autocross in rotating run groups for the better part of Saturday, finishing the day’s activities with the Lucas Oil Road Rally with the final destination a tailgate-style dinner at the acclaimed Shelby Museum in South Las Vegas. Sunday the drivers would once again run head to head this time in the Powerstop Brakes Speed Stop Challenge and have multiple run sessions in the Falken Tire Hot Lap Challenge on the road course. This updated format really levels the playing field by giving each driver similar if not the same track conditions. And let’s face it, these drivers are competitive so this format really works!

The weather was the best our drivers have seen in years out at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Track conditions were ideal, making competition closer than ever. Best of all our AIRAID team drivers left everything out on the track. As predicted there were plenty of Corvettes that were top finishers, that dominated the field. Priestley finished 4th in the GTS Class with his 2017 Chevrolet Grand Sport C7, Bernice, earning him an 11th place finish overall.

But this year it wasn’t a Corvette that took the Championship. No, it was none other than AIRAID team driver Ken Thwaits in his 2006 Mitsubishi EVO that was crowned the OUSCI Champion this year. To make things even sweeter, he also walked away with the GTL Class Title. Thwaits and the Showtime Motorsports Team worked hard and their dedication and determination yielded a very sweet victory, one they can be very proud of. You might even call this a “Cinderfella” story!

AIRAID would like to congratulate all the 2017 OUSCI Class Winners:

The AIRAID 850-600 for Polaris UTVs full view

The filter media in the 850-600 is designed for both performance and protection

When RideNow Powersports recently compiled their list of the most popular UTVs on the market, an intriguing trend emerged. An amazing 6 spots on the top ten list were occupied by one manufacturer – Polaris. Clearly, the progressive American company is doing something very right.

AIRAID is ready to help you take your Polaris to the next level of performance and protection with the direct replacement AIRAID 850-600 air filter. The 850-600 fits a wide range of 570 and 900 Polaris models built between 2012 and 2017.

The added airflow creates the potential for better throttle response and power over the full performance spectrum.

The potential performance boost that the AIRAID 850-600 air filter can provide does not require any additional engine modification. The filter is designed to perform within the specifications and limitations of your stock Polaris engine management system.

The AIRAID 850-600 is also a highly effective in the filtration department. The same filter media that lets your Polaris breathe offers up supreme engine protection. The multiple layers of protection trap and hold dirt, dust, and other contaminants to keep them from destroying your investment.

All of this performance and protection comes in a filter that is fully washable and reusable. This puts an end to the expensive cycle of buying, using, and disposing of traditional paper filters. A simple cleaning and re-oiling is all that is needed to get your Polaris back on the trail, the job, or the track.

AIRAID-Sponsored Jeremy McGrath Captures His Sixth Straight Podium

Standing on the podium for six straight races is what AIRAID-sponsored driver Jeremy McGrath has accomplished, which has gotten himself that much closer to winning the Pro 2 championship. Heading into Glen Helen, Jeremy has finished with a first and a third each weekend at the last two stops in Wheatland and Reno, giving him four straight podiums as well as leading the points battle ahead of Brian Deegan by a very small margin. He has been able to accomplish this by being prepared for every race. He said, “If my team has the truck ready and prepped early for the race that gives me confidence in my equipment, which gives me confidence in my driving. We do a lot of planning for truck set up, tires, race lines, and overall strategies before we arrive at the track. By the time we get unloaded and set up I'm ready to go racing. The main thing is to be patient on the track and that brings consistency.”

With Glen Helen being a home track for most of the drivers in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, it was going to be that much harder to be on the podium with everyone wanting to win in front of friends and family. But Jeremy had the same pressure with it being close to home. He said, “Glen Helen is one of my favorite tracks and its always a lot of fun, but also pressure being a home race. My results have not been that good here in the past, so I focused on racing the track and not worrying too much about who was around me or the points. I knew we needed to come away from this race with podiums in order to make the last race less stressful.”

Driving so fast everything else is a blur to Jeremy McGrath

Starting off the weekend, Jeremy would take his Maxxis Tires, AIRAID Filters Pro 2 to his qualifying session for Friday night’s race. Jeremy would make some very fast laps just missing first and finishing in second, and with the inversion, Jeremy would start on the second row. Friday night’s race was in front of full grandstands with Jeremy battling in third place the majority of the race. With a few cautions, it kept the top three very close together, and the front two trucks were battling hard with each other. Jeremy played it smart by staying right on their bumpers but not too close to get into any trouble with the other trucks and wait for a mistake by them to make his move. About three-fourths of the way through the race, his patience paid off with the leader over rotating and second place getting into the side and tangling them two together.

With this happening Jeremy was able to make his move for the lead and easily overtake the two trucks. Jeremy would not look behind him and focus only what was ahead of him. He drove clean and fast not giving anyone a chance to catch him all the way to the checkered flag and winning the race. Jeremy said, “It's a good feeling to win races, it’s a great feeling to do it at your home track with a big crowd. What I would really like to see is more races in California. It has such a massive fan base and so many true off-road enthusiasts I hope we have the chance to win more events in So Cal next year.”

Sliding in hot is what AIRAID-sponsored driver Jeremy McGrath did during the races in Glen Helen

Trying to repeat his win from the night prior, Jeremy went out to qualifying trying to be the fastest. But with some cautions during the session he got caught up in some traffic, not allowing him to get a clean lap in and putting him in sixth place. With the race being full of great battles and also several cautions, Jeremy was able to battle his way up to third place and make a strong finish right on the bumper of second place. With this finish, Jeremy has kept his consistency with his first and third, just like the last two weekends, giving him six straight podium finishes.

This also helped with the championship points putting Jeremy in the lead with a thirty-seven point difference between himself and Brian Deegan, and getting as close as you possibly can get without clinching the championship before the last round. He said “It feels great to be getting podium results, not only for me but my team and teammate Brock Heger. We all work together to achieve the success we have had this season. We have been lucky to partner with all the right people to give us the best equipment on the market.

"The AIRAID team loves off-road just as much as we do, and go to all the events that we compete in. It’s very rewarding when you are on the podium and you look out and see your sponsors in the crowd celebrating the win with me. We look forward to finishing out this season strong with AIRAID and going straight in 2018 with momentum to win races again.” With only one round of racing left, get prepared to start celebrating with a new champion. This will be Jeremy’s first championship won on four wheels, as he has several on two wheels. So watch for him to be upfront but driving smart in Arizona, making sure he finishes the race to win the championship.

How to Add More Power to Your Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L LT1

Crank up the Horsepower with a Camaro SS 6.2L LT1 cold air intake from AIRAID

Crank up the Horsepower with a Camaro SS 6.2L LT1 cold air intake from AIRAID

The Chevrolet Camaro SS is one of the most iconic muscle cars ever to emerge from Detroit. The all new sixth generation of Chevy’s pony car launched in 2016, and the top-spec SS version got a brand new 5th generation of the legendary Chevy LT1 6.2L V8. This nuclear power station received a host of modern features that are aimed at improving performance, without sacrificing efficiency. Put your right foot down, and you will have a massive 455 lb-ft of torque pushing you off the line, while an equally heady 455 horsepower propels you to 60 mph in about 4 seconds dead. But if that isn’t quite enough pony power for you, then it may be time to uncork that 6.2L LT1 with an AIRAID MXP performance intake system.

How a Chevrolet Camaro SS Intake Works

In order to turn gasoline into tire smoke, many things have to happen. First of all, the cam-driven direct injection fuel pump has to maintain pressure at 2,175 psi, so the special piezo injectors can mist fuel directly into the cylinders at precisely the right moment. Air is then pumped in from outside the engine compartment, through the stock Camaro SS intake system. It utilizes a thick paper air filter to remove impurities from the air, before funneling it down a narrow plastic tube to the cylinders. The oxygen content of the air charge directly affects the amount of power the Chevy LT1 6.2L can make. If the air heats up due to turbulence or airflow restrictions, then a number of oxygen molecules will be reduced, which means the maximum amount of energy/horsepower can’t be released during detonation.

How an AIRAID Chevrolet Camaro SS Performance Intake Works

Eliminating airflow restrictions is the simplest way to increase horsepower, without modifying the engine. To do this, the AIRAID 250-333C and 251-333C MXP performance intakes use a number of high-flow components, like lightweight carbon fiber intake tubes that have been aerodynamically designed to allow air to flow through to the motor, without swirling around and heating up. That is connected to a roto-molded air box that allows air to flow into the low restriction AIRAID performance air filter, while the unique carbon fiber lid keeps warm engine air from entering the system. The result is a higher concentration of oxygen molecules in the air charge, which allows the Chevrolet 6.2L LT1 to burn the fuel at a higher temperature, releasing more energy/horsepower, without making any engine modifications. By providing a more streamlined way for air to reach those giant 2.13 inch intake valves, both the AIRAID 250-333C and 251-333C MXP intake systems will give your 2016-2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS an estimated increase of 20.37 horsepower and 21.91 lb-ft of torque.

2016-2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS Cold Air Intake - AIRAID 251-333C MXP

With an airflow path that’s been redesigned to handle more air, it’s time to get that air into the system. To do this, an oversized AIRAID performance air filter is attached to a velocity stack that has been specially engineered to reduce the turbulence of the incoming air charge. You then have a choice of what type of filter you want to use. The AIRAID 250-333C MXP performance intake comes with a SynthaFlow air filter, which is constructed of oiled cotton gauze, with a synthetic inner layer. This high-flow air filter is ideally suited for dry, dusty conditions, and the ‘depth loading’ material won’t need cleaning for 30,000-50,000 miles (depending on driving conditions). The AIRAID 251-333C MXP intake system uses a SynthaMax performance air filter, which is made from a dual-layer synthetic material that never needs to be oiled. It’s designed for everyday street use, and like the AIRAID SynthaFlow filter, the reusable SynthaMax air filter only needs to be cleaned 30,000-50,000 miles (depending on driving conditions). Both low restriction filters offer superior filtration and engine protection. Plus, each of these Chevy Camaro SS cold air intake systems are backed by the AIRAID Lifetime Limited warranty.

The AIRAID 250-333C and 251-333C are designed to fit the following vehicles:
