The Rialto Trophy/UTI team is led by Rialto Trophy’s proprietors Todd & Trisha Kinney from San Bernadino, CA. Todd grew up around the sport of sand drags and has realized his dream becoming the owner of a Top Fuel Sand Dragster. After setting Jeep records with his 103” wheelbase center-seat Jeep sporting a screw-blown Big Block Chevy, Todd & Trisha purchased the ex-“Spooky II” Top Fueler from Shane Switzer. They debuted the ride late in 2013 with Billy Morris piloting the Dragster as the team got its feet wet in the Nitro world. The Kinney’s have seen their Dragster run a best ET of 2.35 seconds and 152 MPH so far. Todd is expected to get his license and drive the Team UTI Fueler in the future.
Racing is a family affair for the Kinney’s. Todd’s wife Trisha has raced in the Motorcycle classes while their daughter Katrina competes in the Junior class. Todd’s brothers Chad and Scott are also big parts of Team UTI. Chad competes in the Pro Bracket classes with his Jeep while Scott is an important part of the crew for the Top Fuel program. The Kinney’s and their friends comprise Team Under The Influence.
Rialto Trophy is a full service Trophy, Awards, Sign, Banner, and Print shop. Todd has the capabilities to take care of any needs that are remotely close to the categories I just mentioned. His shop in Rialto, CA is well equipped to take on any project you may have. For more info on Rialto Trophy call 909-873-4878 or visit their site at www.RialtoTrophy.com.
