Sal Solorzano joined TCI about 20 years ago. Since that time, the previous auto parts store manager and line mechanic worked 4 years in TCI’s Shipping Department and 6 years in the Chassis and Small Parts Departments. For the past 10 years, Sal has been TCI’s Vice President and General Manager.

It was Gary Densham, the fastest Funny Car driver on the planet and former auto shop teacher at Gahr High School in Cerritos, California, that turned Sal’s interest to cars. In fact, Sal and the other students in that auto shop class helped Mr. Densham build his Model A sedan. That particular Model A included one of TCI’s first Model A chassis! Before taking auto shop at age 15, Sal was interested in athletics. Needless to say, athletics have taken a back seat ever since!
