Thank You, Fernando Caudra, Cuadra Boys Racing, and Frank (The Icon) Iaconio
This video is one I made, after Frank, and Fernando Invited me to the 2024 NHRA Summit Nationals. They both took care of me like we were old friends. I was there last year for the Event. Fernando, and Frank, treated me like family. In this video, you can see today's pro stock up close, and behind the scenes. I was able to ride the gold cart right up to the line, and get some great video. Until, NHRA saw that I did not have starting line Credentials. Fernando said, next year I will have them, and a Caudra Boys racing Team shirt.
Fernando Cuadra, owner of Corral Boots, Cuadra Boots, and now Tecovas Boots. Has been racing many years, in his own country of Mexico, with many championships. He started racing in NHRA pro stock, in 2003, and qualified in 2004, with FIRE, Frank Iaconio Racing Engines. But do to his growing business, He left racing, until 2018. Now with Caudra Boys racing established, he and his 3 sons, Fernado Jr, Christian, and David went NHRA Pro Stock racing. Fernando retired this year, after he raced his 3 sons simultaneously, at the 4 wide Nationals at Charlotte. His sons, will continue to race the NHRA Pro Stock series, they are also taking over his Boot, and Western wear Empire.
Stay tuned to DragBoss Garage, "Where your always seeing and learning something new."

I know Frank since the mid 1960’s. He’s amazing. Still working as hard as ever and building engines that run at the top of Pro Stock. The Cuadra’s were awesome to let you do this video !

In my opinion, the current NHRA 500" P/S could also fit neatly into Comp. Eliminator. The limited Mountain Motor P/S Series is way cooler and far more representative of Pro- Stocks formative years, in my opinion.

Great behind the scenes insight brought to us by DragBoss himself. Granted, the Pro- stock class today is but a shadow of it's formative self but the performance these cars can achieve within the rules is still pretty amazing. Kudos to the Cuadras and to Tim for bringing us along and to The Icon, Frank Iaconio. Frank was instrumental in getting the P/S Class established and making it so popular in the early 1970s. He continued to personally compete well into the 80s and today he continues to display the engine - building prowess and tuning abilities that we remember him for. He is our tie to what I'm sure most of us consider to be the glory days of Pro- stock.

There is some light at the end of the tunnel with Factory Stock Showdown & the Factory X classes. The only thing holding the new F/S & F/X back is sponsorship. Aftermarket companies don't want to sponsor a class that only allows a few aftermarket parts. Imo it's what ended up hurting the Trans Am series in the 70's.
