KB Racing LCC  teams win Full Throttle Award



POMONA, Calif. (February 12, 2006) - KB Racing LLC claimed two of the 
three Full Throttle NHRA Pit Crew Championship bonus awards at the 
season-opening CARQUEST Auto Parts Winternationals.  Hillary Will, 
rookie Top Fuel driver and teammate Jason Line, who finished No. 3 in 
the 2005 Pro Stock point standings, accepted the awards on behalf of 
their teams who propelled them to top five qualifying positions.

Jim Oberhofer, crew chief of the KB Racing LLC owned Top Fuel Dragster, 
and his crew tuned Will to a No. 4 qualifying position in what was her 
first event as a professional Top Fuel driver.  Off the trailer, Will 
ran down the quarter-mile in 4.61 seconds, then improved her position 
with a 4.51 that was repeated two more times to hold her in a respectful 
fourth position.

Line held down the No. 1 position after the first day of qualifying, 
before finishing in the No. 5 qualifying spot.  His crew produced runs 
were a model of consistency, with four qualifying passes of 6.74 
seconds, 6.70, 6.68 and 6.72.  Hats are off to his team and the job they 
did in the opening event in the 23-race POWERade Drag Racing Series.

The Full Throttle NHRA Pit Crew Championship program awards bonus money 
to one team from each of the four professional categories attending NHRA 
POWERade Series events.  The program utilizes a points system, generally

from each event to determine and award an annual season-end Full 
throttle NHRA Pit Crew Champion.  The season-end Full Throttle NHRA Pit 
Crew Champions shall receive awards as follows: Top Fuel $25,000; Funny 
Car $25,000; Pro Stock $15,000; Pro Stock Motorcycle $5,000.
