Track Day Prep

Recommended Posts

I have slowing been studying up and preparing for my first track day experience. 

Midwest track days shows "K&N external oil filters are not allowed" 

I have not been able to find much info on why that is? 

Are others using different filters with the safety wire holes or hose clamp method on stock filters?

A while back (maybe two years ago I think) K&N had a batch of bad filters that could leak.  Maybe that is why, but it seems like an overreaction this far down the road.

The hose clamp method is widely accepted.  And yes, k&n had a bad batch.
