The Baja 1000 in Ensenada, Mexico was the most grueling test to-date for FilterMAG™. Dyno and bench testing were only starting points for FilterMAG™.

Real world testing began with what is referred to as the "Grandaddy of all desert races." This years Baja 1000 covered 677 miles of the most grueling terrain offered up in off-road racing. "It was rocky, rugged, silty, twisty and technically-challenging." Of the 226 entries, barely 100 finished.

In a race where a 40% finish rate is satisfactory, 100% of the FilterMAG™ entries crossed the finish line; a true testament to FilterMAG™'s race proven technology.

Jeff Quinn was the overall fourth place finisher with his Class 1 car. It was a heated battle as he fought off not only the most trying course in Baja's 34 year history, but a tight battle for second, third and fourth positions. As the owner of McKenzie's Performance Products and an off-road racing veteran of nearly twenty years, Jeff has seen everything when it comes to racing, or so he thought.

"I was not prepared to see the amount of particles that FilterMAG™ trapped in my oil filter," said Jeff. "I used a top-of-the-line race filter, and to see the amount of stuff that made it through the oil filter blows my mind." Jeff has sworn he won't race another race without a FilterMAG™.

"It's peace of mind", he said. "It could make a huge difference, especially in off-road racing where oil filtration is a key component to finishing the race."

Jeff Lothringer, the eight place finisher couldn't believe his eyes either. "If you would have shown me a few particles, I would have been happy." Jeff's particle count was in the millions. A fact that is unmistakable by the photos taken when the oil filters were cut open.

"Having FilterMAG™ on my car definitely made a difference," said Jeff, who is also a proven off-road veteran. Part of the Lothringer family, Jeff has been around racing his whole life.

"Every once in a while something comes along that changes the face of racing...This just might be it! I can't imagine racing without a FilterMAG™ from now on."

Steve Roberts, of Bullhead City, also competed with a FilterMAG™. His strong finish, 20:10:05, was a testament to FilterMAG™'s abilities. The size of the particles in Steve's filter far surpassed the others, with captured particles 3/8 of an inch in length and 1/4 inch wide.

"I can't believe my car even finished," he said. "The larger particles, if left to circulate...would have eventually caused engine failure. No way I would have finished the race without the FilterMAG™."

FilterMAG™'s proven technology is a hit with everyone who used it in the Baja 1000 this year. The units were snapped on and took the wildest ride in off-road racing. No other magnetic filtration device can stand up to this much punishment and still function.

FilterMAG™...magnetic filtration systems second to none!
