Default Roger Bolliger has a double win again in the Histo cup

Hi We just came back from Austria(1600ml round trip) To suport Roger Bolliger is his Jerry Titus 1970 transam kloon. winning the first 2 races of the season. we made some in car footage wich wil be put on you tube asap. His car is bij most the populair one of the field wich includes al sorts like mustangs camaro,s Cobra,s BMW M1 other BMW Porshes you name it. altho the Corba was 1 sec faster in qualifying Roger chased him douwn and pushed the Cobra into a engine failer just like he did with the Kremer 935 K3 le mans porshe a couple of years ago..

Thanks for giving us the good news David.
Roger is a real talented driver and his car is extra awesome.
Have read many things over the years about about his Pontiacs and his racing.

here is the first warm up and first Q1
http://youtu.be/20gH40QCXyI he was fastest here but in q2 the factory fife cobra was faster then him. in the race former F1 driver and Le mans winner and country man Jan Lammers was in the race as wel with the BMW M1. stay tunned for the rest comming week.
Personal Bummer is that my own roadrace project including the engine are being build with lots of delay .
Hopeto speed it up soon and finish the build so i can be compeating with my 68 CVMS powerd firebird against Roger,s Budlers powerd transam... would be awesome to have 2 ponchoes in frond and beating the crap out of the bleu zillion chevies and Fords..

Nice video, love the shift sound of a dog ring tranny.
But I can't get over how many gauges he has. Looks like 14, I only have 4 and ignore them most of the time.

Wel get this he has a 3.08 rear ratio a 4 speed tranny with fouth gear 1 on 1 and if you lissen good he gets into 4th only for a second ore two on the straight!!. so he basicly drives the intire race into second and tird gear!!!!!!!!!!. ps this was at the Red Bull Ring in Austria wich is curendly under going a boost up because they wil get the F1 races there as wel. having said that i took another frind who was wich us to the Red Bull medical center at the track,because his knee was heurting very bad. i had my bold shoes on and just stept in a meeting of the medican staff,. And askt them if they could help my frind . No problem tey took us in and we where standing necst to the F1 car of Mark Weber from last year!!. it was a big wauw!!. but could not belive how tiny!!!! those cars are... anyway we took some footage of that car as wel....

Best wishes getting your car together, but I have to ask, will everyone else quit when TWO Pontiacs show up to race? LOL

GOSH that car accelerates nice in the straights and soft turns. The driver shows good skill in decisions (shifts & opportunities) and smoothness on the wheel.

OMG 2nd video is stunning on passing abilities: corvette, 2 cars, then the Porsche. slingshot passing ability males me think he got ECM power. EHTTFMF?

Love the videos - I know those SOB's hate to see that TA coming up in the rear mirror.

You straight line guys get a chance to do a road course - do it. Lot's of fun.

Ha yea, I tweaked the crap out of me body panel alignment. A fella has gotta build the subframe//cage & Rad support to keep a valuable car from getting wracked out. fun indeed after that.
