What is his win percentage? Must be about 850%

Good one - he should have 65 out of a possible 80 points now

I'm sure there are some really great people in that racing series, but I HAVE to wonder, with all of the money it takes to build, maintain, race, travel for some of those cars, Roger has to be hurting some feelings.

I am sure that some of those high dollar collector cars have owners with big ego's, big ego's and finishing second usually don't mix well!

Yes - when those high dollar Porsches etc. get beaten by a honest to goodness American Muscle car with some mods - Rogers Race T/A started out as a real 71 455HO T/A

Gotta love it, at least if you are a Pontiac fan! How long before they put a bounty on him?

If you read some of the comments on the videos for Rogers T/A - some aren't very kind but that's par for the course - some fans of other makes - Porsche etc. just won't accept a 1970's Pontiac T/A Kicking Butt

Looking at that car amongst all of those sport cars really defines the term, "Bull in a China shop"!

Congratulations on a winning car that is hands down one of the best looking vintage race cars period! You don't have to be an American car fan or a Pontiac fan to appreciate the quality, performance and look of that race car. I showed one of the Youtube clips to my class of late teen, early 20 somethings in my college automotive class. Some of those kids barely knew what a Pontiac was, but EVERYONE was amazed how that big beautiful Trans AM blasted by the BMW's and the Porsche's. If Roger wins the championship, watch out, the sanctioning body might limit engine size or something else to try and slow the mighty Pontiac down!.

Cool stuff - great your getting the Pontiac message out there . For limiting Rogers engine size etc. should be okay as other cars engines etc. are warmed over too

Roger is a heck of a driver! He is currently running his back up engine. The engine I am freshening up for him makes about 40 more hp. Hope to have it back to him in a couple weeks.

Cool info Rodney - nice to see Roger at the head of the pack with Pontiac power

[Wareagle]

Roger WON his Class at last weekend's race 1 & 2 at Salzburgring and still leads all American Muscle V8's by 35 points - ie. Corvette - GT-40 - AC-Cobra Mustang etc. . No pic's or video yet but here's a video from a earlier race that he WON from a different angle .

Congratulations once again to Roger and his team. As I look at the entry list, he stands out as a man among boys!. I realize he runs a class among other American V-8's and he is clearly a dominant force in his class. But among all the cars such as Porsche, BMW, Alfa and the others, he is still the car to beat. It is cool almost beyond words to rule the road course with one of the prettiest cars ever built! I would also add that this says so much about the durability and reliability of the Pontiac engine against " the best engines in the world. "Porsche" and the ultimate driving machine, "BMW", ha" Great engine build by Butler too.

Yes - Roger gets it done - here's some pic's from last weekend's Race
