Received the Sad News that Ralph Truppi passed on this morning. Ralph was the genious behind the scenes at Truppi-Kling Competition back in the 60's and 70's. They later became T/K High Performance in the late 70's through present. Ralph Truppi always had the right combination needed for J/S, Stock, and Super Stock Drag Racing. He was an inovater and rumor has it he invented the very first Crank Triggered Ignition for the Big Block Chevrolet engine. Truppi-Kling powered cars held hundreds of National Records in NHRA dating back to the late 60's. Ralph Truppi was a Great Man and will be greatly missed. My Condolences to his Family, Friends and Fellow Racers. God Speed Ralph...
