I'm pretty sure this is a tribute car, as Jerry Titus died after his wrecked into a bridge abutment. Has a pic in The Fabulous Firebird book.

Too bad that one video wasn't in English. Now we know where some of our cool Pontiacs are.

Yes - lots of Nice Pontiacs over there - at one time there was even a GM assembly plant over there near were Roger lives but most of the high end cars like SD455 T/A's were imported .


Update for Rogers Racer T/A - He is out for the Championship - in the beginning of the last race he was leading the points but was cut off by another car at 260-270 kmph and he hit a guardrail - Roger says thats twice he's come close to Winning the Points race but will be back - maybe 3 times will be lucky .

A few more pics & info from the last race - heres Roger leading a Mustang - he's about to lap a Ford Escort RS 2000 - the worst thing happens - just as Roger is about to pass the Escort it pulls right in front of him instead of staying put - idiot - At that speed All Roger can do is head for the Grass then he's in the sand - can't recover and he hits a Guardrail !@@#$%^&*()( .

Both left front and rear wheels and slicks are junk plus some suspension etc. damaged - Roger says damage repaired as best as possible for the last race of the Season at Monza Italy ( F1 Course ) - even though 1st is not possible now he's trying for at least 3rd - Season started out very good but #$%^& happens .

Some pics and info for the last race of the season at Monza Italy .
Roger Qualified 2nd behind a 1000 hp twin turbo Kremer Porsche - of the 2 heats he finished 3rd in one and did'nt do that well in the other - overall for the season he finished 4th in his class ie. 4000 ccm -out of 20 cars & 7th out of 41 cars - not bad but his plan was to finish 1st .

Right now he has few sponsors - it would be great to have more but as it is he gets by on a Bricklayers salary - next years plans is to do better with possible more hp from Butler - he has 700 pump gas hp now but theres a 70 Clone T/A out there that has a Butler 850 pump gas hp engine - would be nice !!!!!!!!!!! .

Thanks Mike - Roger appreciates that .

A couple of more cars that Roger has left in the dust - do you guys think Roger should do a more radical tune of his 496 engine - higher compression - more cam etc. maybe bigger Butler engine ie. 541 etc. or chalk it up to racing luck .
