Unhappy Ralph Truppi

I'm sorry to inform you that Ralph Truppi, of Truppi Kling Performance, has passed away.

Ralph was a brilliant engine builder and innovative force in racing. Truppi-Kling dominated Stock and Super Stock classes in the North East for many years.

When I have more information, I will post it.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and many friends.

Re: Ralph Truppi

I knew Ralph was in poor health for some time. He was inducted into the Northeast Division Legion of Honor at Darwin Doll's York event last year, but was unable to attend because of his health. Ray and Jerry Stinner accepted his award, on his behalf. I was praying for him to recover.

Re: Ralph Truppi

Another Division 1 sportsman legend gone. Dad always told me that the T-K bunch were tough to beat.

God Bless the Truppi family.

Re: Ralph Truppi

Jackee, sorry to hear about the loss of Ralph Truppi. Truppi / Kling was synanimous was Chevy stock and super stock. IMO, the success of Chevy drag racing would not be successful with this feared team. RIP.
