The history goes back even further. Allot of evenings at Eddie "THE DUDE" Conrads shop planning. Bucky Allison,THE DUDE,JIM Franklin,The Benham bros.,Owens Clan,Joe Gonzales,and many others had a go at it years ago. Each group of guys has added a bit to the mix thru trial end error to make it what it is today.Remember when a 5.50 was haulin' ass.

[> [> [> I don't know when the original Texas Pro Stock was formed, but I go back to 1986 when Richard Otwell gave me an opportunity to drive a Lenco/NOS car for a couple of races. That version of the TPSA didn't last much longer however, as it became way toooo expensive to maintain car count. Basically there were no CID rules, tranny rules, etc...it was more of an outlaw class. If I remember correctly, the top cars were running mid 4's back then. The last 21 years have produced many different versions and various offsprings of the original format have come and gone. Like the song says, "these are the good ol' days". It's amazing that technology has advanced to a point where 4 second passes are common and Pigford & Otwell can run .60's under the current rules. -- DH, 11/ 5/07 12:28pm
