TROY TREPANIER (RAD RIDES BY TROY) AUTOGRAPH SESSIONS
Troy Trepanier grew up in small town, Manteneo, IL and started his family business, Rad Rides by Troy, with his father in 1995. Troy inherited his grandfather’s passion for perfection. He added his own highly diverse appetite to build everything from a Ridler winner to a Bonneville racecar. This commitment to both craftsmanship and performance is now recognized by fans all over the world.
This unique combination has produced some amazing cars, such as Chicayne, the first twin turbocharged small block street machine. Chicayne went on to win Goodguys Street Machine of the Year award in 2002 and set of a whirlwind of twin turbo cars that have tried to follow in it’s footsteps. That year, in a feature article on the car, Popular Hot Rodding Magazine stated that Chicayne just might be the “finest hot rod of all time.”Troy Trepanier will serve as the Grand Marshal of the Rt. 66 City Nights Cruise on Friday night and will sign autographs both Friday & Saturday at the event. His custom creations “Blowfish” and “Notorious” will be on display all weekend.
