Veteran Pro Stock racer Tom Huggins (striped shirt) holds court Saturday at his state of the art 18 wheeler hauler with Dale Falk, Jim Data and Keith Morovich. Tom started heads up Super Stock racing back in ’69 with lots of Chevrolet parts from Bill Thomas Race Cars. At the CHRR Tom was driving a 685 cu. in. Chevy-powered Corvette in A/Gas.

There was a tremendous showing of all types of Fuel Altereds at the 2016 Reunion. The Tocco-Harper-Garten Chevrolet-powered machine is indicative of that group. This writer has compiled considerable material on the long time (since the ‘60s) team from the Hemet area of Southern California. Unfortunately, their driver, Roger Garten, suffered a fatal medical episode while racing the War Horse AA/FC here at Bakersfield. Mike Tocco brought the roadster to the show as a ‘cacklefest’ car.

As stated, Fuel Altereds were everywhere. Waiting in staging is ‘The Tramp’. They just don’t come any better or prettier than this team.
