K&R Performance Engineering ProCube II Product Review

I just received a brand new K&R ProCube II & dash mounting kit for my dragster from Kevin @ K&R. I was having issues with my other brand of delay box. I was amazed at how easy the box was to install with the dash kit...(not to mention it looks great too!!). Wiring the box was as easy as it could be. The ease of the K&R ProCube II is compared to none. Simple and quick changes...in a second!!!! The reset feature is a must for any delay box user. No more waiting for the box to reset or having to have an extra button to back up. Thank you K&R for thinking of the racer!!!!

Tommy Phillips Scores Rare Double Victory at AAA Texas NHRA Nationals

Ennis, TX: If asked just two months ago about his 2012 season, longtime NHRA Lucas Oil Series standout Tommy Phillips would have politely shared a tale of what, by his lofty standards, had been a subpar season.  The humble Texan would have likely left out a pair of national event runner-up finishes (Super Comp in Pomona, CA and Super Gas in Chicago, IL), participating in the annual JEGS All-Stars competition, and his top-ten standing in the NHRA Lucas Oil points chase.  He would have explained that he simply hadn’t enjoyed a stellar season and left it at that.   How quickly things can change.
