vetteguy22 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I met Troy last year at the SCCA runoffs in Sonoma. It was incredible how he dominated the gtl race. I was head tech inspector for that class so really got to check out his car. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I used to race SCCA ITC in a 510, back when we had 30 car fields. My brother pretty much dominated the class back then, but I was a pretty consistent top five finisher. Troy was up and coming back then and did very well too. After the ITC glory days, Troy started racing circle track late models (I think) and did pretty well there. I believe he even raced a NASCAR event at SPIR. He really found his calling building GT and BS and 2.5 Trans Am cars and has never looked back. When I stopped racing ITC, I wanted to rebuild my car into a 2.5 Trans Am tribute car, but bought a house and lost interest. One day, I tallied up the parts I had gathered, which included a pair of carbs and intake that were once used by the BRE team, plus an OEM 7qt finned aluminum oil pan with the part number sticker still on it, along with a ton of other rare racing parts. The list was long, and I saw a way out. One call to Troy and he bought it all including my race car. He put together that car along with a lot of the parts I had and sold it for almost $70k. I envy him for still being involved with Datsuns after all these years. He is an excellent driver. Below is a collage of pics of the car I sold him. I don't have any finished pics. 7 Quote Link to comment

angliagt Posted October 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Sorry - that's all I got. I wish I could go back & see more, but don't have any more time off from work. I also asked Troy about a '78 200 SX SCCA race car that I found in the local wrecking yard that he bought,& I hauled down to his old shop.He said that he's working on it.I can't wait to see the pictures of it when it's done. 3 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Joe Huffaker with his MG Midget. He is so tall, and the car is so small. Quote Link to comment
