I loved watching him being oh so methodical and determined while steadily reeling in the Porsche. Great stuff. Doesn't he have a BUTLER shirt on?

Wow......just saw this thread wareagle. Love it. That video is incredible. As I mentioned Roger is a huge inspiration for me with my car. Main difference is mine is also a street car with A/C, but I want to do some roadracing and hillclimbs. Keep us up to date please!

Will be Cool to see your car at Hillclimbs etc. thats were Roger got started - no rush - get a feel for it - is most important - yes will update for Roger when results come in .
Heres a few pic's of Bigger is Better's 455 Powered 80 T/A who does HILL CLIMBS and has WON 3 Championships in a row ( 2009 - 2010 -2011 ) .

Oh, I know....lol. I watch his stuff all the time too! lol. I'll have more hp than roger does (should be around 1200 hp at 15 psi), but I may have to really turn down the boost to get it to hook well for competitive purposes. Its not all about the power as we can see......lol

Yes when you get the power to the ground it will be a beast - Roger might be bumping the hp up some for next year . Wish you lived closer - The Hillclimb that Johnny ( Bigger is Better ) races at is in my neck of the woods - also its the longest paved Hillclimb in North America - Cool .
