MINNEAPOLIS, MN – May 15, 2008 – Donaldson Company (NYSE:DCI), a leading, worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and parts, is pleased to support Desert Dingo Racing with Donaldson PowerCoreŽ. Desert Ding Racing is a team of high tech professionals based in Silicon Valley, California. Donaldson donated PSD PowerCore air cleaners for the team's Class 11 VW Beetle used in the Baja 1000, an annual international off-road race held in Mexico's Baja Peninsula.
Donaldson's PSD PowerCore air cleaner is ideal for off-road equipment operating in medium to heavy dust conditions with engine airflow ranges up to 700 cfm. The obround compact housing shape allows for a narrow or wide mounting orientation with end and side filter service access.
"We position the Donaldson air filter behind the co-driver with a tube that takes the air through the firewall into the engine compartment," said Jim "RJ" Graham, a member of the Dingo Racing Team. "We were the envy of the other Class II and Class 5/1600 Baja Bug racing teams. Our thanks to Donaldson for supporting our Desert Dingo Racing."
Desert Dingo Racing is also committed to community service. They have teamed with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in support of its campaign to raise awareness of diabetes issues worldwide through World Diabetes Day, which falls during the race.
