Todd is very excited about this opportunity and is eager to get started. Todd's schedule which will be finalized in the next few days, will see him testing in Tucson Az, before heading to debut in Las Vegas, Seattle Wa, Sonoma Ca, Indianapolis In, Dallas Tx, and Las Vegas in the fall, and a few other possible races.

Todd would like to thank John Woods and Gene Gooch of Performance Auto, David Nickens, Matt Hartford, Automax USA,Total Seal, Vandervert Automotive, and all of his friends for their support, and excitement. Todd is eager to begin testing in the next few weeks.

Footnote: Todd is probably one of the fastest naturally aspirated powerglide door cars in the country, he just recently ran a 6.58 @ over 209 mph! Todd is a great guy and more announcements are coming.

Visit www.iperformanceauto.com Gene & John Woods are great folks and sell some of the nicest racecars in the country.

[> [> Well it will be an uphill battle to make it but at least you have to be there to make it. There is no one else in town that is attempting to build a 500 c.i. Pro Stock Motor, so there ya go on the post with no name, build you a 500 c.i. Pro Stock motor here in town and see where your at. Yes I will post my name and include my email. -- Nick Tha P...., Wednesday, March 19, 10:57:35am [1]

[> Hey DNQ what do you have that can out run anything Nickens has or builds! I will answer that for you! NOTTA DAMN THING ! Like Nick says you GOT TO BE THERE TO PLAY! And you have to have a car to play! And you ain't got NEITHER! I will post my name but not my email address because I get too many LOVE LETTERS! LOL -- Bobby"THE PORTER HICK" Dodson, Wednesday, March 19, 05:01:13pm [1]

[> [> Say what you want about Nickens but if you are going to bash him, you need a name so we will know what an idiot you are. Nickens qualified at the Gators with a 6.74, drew WJ and lost with a 6.70 @ 206.35 MPH!!! What you don't understand is qualifying in the toughest class in drag racing is a win in itself!! Been there and done that!!! Nickens makes power and has a world of knowledge in his Conroe based facility. He won many Wally's in Comp Eliminator and had full Castrol sponsorship. It was not given to him, he earned it!!! He is a local guy that is still making horsepower with a 500 inch motor. What have you done in the last 20 years? That's what I thought!!! -- Doc, Wednesday, March 19, 11:26:11pm [1]

[> Doc it is just one of them guys wishing he could SNIFF the fumes from Nickens 500 inch engine! DNQ probably rides around on a bicycle with baloons or playing cards hitting the spokes on it to make noise! He ain't got nothing but his lips rattling garbage! -- Bobby"THE PORTER HICK" Dodson, Thursday, March 20, 07:33:51pm [1]

[> [> get back with me at the end of the year and we will see who's prediction is closer. Ask Rodger Brogdon and Erica Enders about that bad ass Nickens power and how many wins the got with Nickens -- he found another sucker, Thursday, March 20, 08:49:15pm [1]

[> [> [> So am I hearing you correctly that you can build a 500 cubic inch motor that can do better? -- Nickens has a dyno to prove you wrong, Thursday, March 20, 10:18:15pm [1]

[> [> [> [> Rodger Brogdon qualifed at his first race in Pro Stock last year with NICKENS POWRER> What has he done since he left NICKENS? NOTHING. Erica Enders would be racing if her dad would stay out of the way. He is the demise of Erica Enders Racing. She busted Andersons ass last year with NICKENS POWER. What has she done since leaving NICKENS? Nothing. There you have it boys and girls. -- NHRA Stats Engineer Glendora, CA, Thursday, March 20, 10:41:00pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> just to clarify your stats there Mr NHRA stats. Rodger is doing just fine back in comp elim since deciding PS wasn't for him. The only time EE beat Anderson was when he was "timed out" at the tree and technically her round wins and performance haven't been the same since they left Cagnazzi. I'm both a fan and a friend of EE, but these are the facts. -- $$, Friday, March 21, 12:18:48am [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Brogdon is back in Comp for a reason. It take 10X the $$ to qualify and run in Pro Stock. EE did qualify when she beat Anderson too. A win is a win is what I was always told. Cagnazi has ditched a few in the past. Look at Connely without a ride in 2008 after being so sucessful in 2007. -- Its all about the Benjamins, Friday, March 21, 02:40:21am [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> One more time then you can get back to your lil' world. Victor didn't "dump" Dave; if anyone did it was Evan when he pulled the plug on the majority of the Torco teams. Cagnazzi didn't ever fund Dave's operation out of pocket and has said he WON'T fund a PS out of pocket. They are working extremely hard on finding DC a sponsor to get him back out there ASAP. EE obviously had to qualify to get a round win over Greg, but she didn't sure didn't out et him or "bust his ass" to use your term. Brogdon never ran PS without a Nickens bullet so no comparison is available. Not bashing Nickens or his accomplishmnets by any means, just have a different perspective of some of your facts. -- Was there ever any doubt that $$$ is king?, Friday, March 21, 04:31:45pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> Damn! When "YOU" can build an engine better than "NICKENS" then comeback to tell us all your accomplishments! Without a doubt there are better and more famous engine builders in the world but as far as "LOCAL" Nickens is the MAN to BEAT! At least he is trying and doing it what are you doing but getting on the internet and posting bullshit and skeered to leave a REAL NAME! I am unable to say what I would really like to say because children do visit this site and for my RESPECT to Sarah Lovelady and a few others but I bet you can guess part of it without me saying it! -- Bobby"THE PORTER HICK" Dodson, Friday, March 21, 03:09:51pm [1]

[> And one more thing to remember! "NICKENS builds the Engines and proves the HP on the DYNO! After the engine is installed in the car It is the DRIVER and CHASSIS guy that has to harness the HP to make the car get the #####'S "NICKENS DOES NOT DO THE DRIVING " Might be better if he did though in some cases! -- Bobby"THE PORTER HICK" Dodson, Friday, March 21, 03:51:45pm [1]

[> [> [> DYNO # DONT MEAN SHIT IT IS JUST A TOOL TO COMPARE WHAT YOU HAVE BUILT IN THE PAST TO THE PRESENT AND SEE IF YOU ARE GAINING. LOOK AT THE MPH THAT TELLS THE WHOLE STORY. NICKENS IS JUST LUCKY JEFF NAISER HASENT STEPPED OFF IN PRO STOCK OR LUMP TOO BOTH OF THEM GUYS CAN RUN CIRCLES AROUND "BIG DAVE" -- WHERE DID ALL THE COMP CUSTOMERS GO.... AWAY IS WHERE, Friday, March 21, 06:09:38pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> Naiser and Lump both tried Pro Stock trucks. That was enuf for them both. It takes big $$ and knowledge to run with the elite. Don't get me wrong, Naiser makes some hp but Lump is the man when it comes to making power. Niether would be able to compete in Pro Stock. Nickens paid his dues and makes the horsepower. That is why he is still racing Pro class cars instead of Sportsman classes. Anyone can buy a motor and race sportsman classes. -- enuf said, Friday, March 21, 06:21:39pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> to be accurate there mr enuf, anybody WITH THE BUCKS can buy a car, lease a engine program, & qualify in the top 1/2 of the PS field. For a competitive bullet expect to spend 1.5 million per season. That's what separates the haves from the have nots. The days of a group of good ol boys running PS out of their wallet is long gone for the majority of us. -- good luck to all of the hometown boys in Baytown, Friday, March 21, 07:53:35pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> EVERYONE quit running prostock truck because NHRA pulled the plug it wasnt voluntary. If you had spent that kind of money to build a truck and R&D motors 24/7 then to have a knife stuck in your back by NHRA would you want to continue supporting them? If you think David Nickens is building pro stock engines out of his back pocket you sir are highly misinformed. Rodger Brogdon quit running pro stock after only qualifying at the 1st 2 races then DNQed at every one after that. He quit because he wasnt going to do it out of his own pocket. He had said from day 1 that if a sponsor deal didnt come through he would pull the plug and that is exactly what he did. Another thing he said was if a sponsor deal comes through in the future he would go back but it damn sure wouldnt be with Nickens. If it was to happen look for ole Dave to have some local competition on who can build the baddest pro stock motors. and these guys are already building the baddest comp motors around -- we shall see wont we, Saturday, March 22, 06:54:17am [1]

Brogdon wins gainsville in comp. and if you think hes finished in prostock, just hang on to your seat.


[ Edit | View ]

[> Some of what you guys makes sense and some don't! You say TIME WILL TELL! Hasn't TIME ALREADY TOLD! Look how long NICKENS has been around and he is still in the game! He is still making POWER and a lot of it to be in there with the rest.You say that Brogdon said he won't go back to NICKENS! Well that don't mean that NICKENS isn't making power,maybe that means they just don't click with each other! Different ideas and differences of oppinions does not mean NICKENS is not making POWER! I grant you that NAISER can make some power also and proves it in what he is running.But if he makes that much power where are his engines in PRO STOCK! maybe naiser can build POWER to compete but he ain't doing it where NICKES is! There are a lot of GOOD engine builders here around Houston it is just that NICKENS is trying to stay in the GAME! And so far he is doing it where the others are not! And I ain't letting BIG D tune my MOWER! -- Bobby"THE PORTER HICK" Dodson, Saturday, March 22, 07:02:06pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]
[> [> Heres the deal. Brogdon thought he had secured sponsorship last year with some roofing company. After 3 races out of his pockets Brogdon found out that it wasn't easy to do out of pocket. He pulled the plug and went back to sportsman racing. I don't blame him. It cost 2 million to campaign a Pro Stock car that can go rounds. Not 1.5 as stated above. Its not cheap to be in the spotlight. -- TS fan, Saturday, March 22, 08:17:01pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> Most of the motor lease deals alone cost 1.2Million to 2 Million a year just to lease a motor! Figure at least $135,000 for the latest and greatest Haas car as a roller and you have not even bought the Rig to get to the races in. In today's times and money real world dollars to be competitive in Pro Stock is 3.5 Million up to 5 Million. People like Greg Anderson is spending over 10 Million a year for his 2 car team. 2 Million won't get you out of your shop driveway. I know that Roger B. is working on some deals for 2009 and hope that he gets back into it, if he can get the funding to do it the right way he will be back. -- Nick Tha P...., Saturday, March 22, 08:49:36pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> Let's talk about the lease program. Reher Morrison coundnt compete so they stated their own leasing program. Nobody runs Reher Morrison in Pro Stock even though they have a reputable name in Sportsman racing. That in itself shoul tell you how hard it is to run in Pro Stock. Yet those that want to bash Nickens really know that he is doing it. Naiser would be another DNQ in Pro Stock. -- Nicken Power under my hood too, Sunday, March 23, 01:27:31pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> This is just my opinion but if Jeff Naiser ever wanted to do a Pro Stock Motor Program I think given some time for R&D that he could build a 500 c.i. motor that could qualify against the big boys, however, even when you do your own motor program you will spend 3 Million just to do your own in house motors, Jeff is a savey business guy as well and where is the ROI on that kind of investment, Reher & Morrison stepped aside when Bruce Allen retired again smart business move same as Jeff & they can build sportsman motors and outlaw motors and at least make something. Just smart business. It takes some serious dollars not only to do a engine lease program but also to build your own motors in house. I am rooting for Shane & Lamar also hope that they can make the fields at the races they enter, Taylor has stepped up his investment and jumping to run Pro Stock. If you win a PowerBall Lotto then you could afford to go Pro Stock Racing (until the money runs out...LOL) -- Nick Tha P...., Sunday, March 23, 05:11:38pm [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Naiser would be just like Jeffery Bailey. Spend millions on a ProStock program and never qualify. It takes many together to make a team work. Nickens surrounds himself with an arsenal of professionals that have life long experience in a certain field of the Pro Stock operations. You cannot get people like that out of the phone book either. Taylor Lastor is another wannabe. He will never fill his dads shoes either. -- someone that knows, Sunday, March 23, 11:06:33pm [1]
