Jack Bayer "Rodocker" Camaro
 

Came across this image while searching archives, and something about it just caught my attention. Wondered if anyone here knows this car? The picture was taken at an NHRA event at Irwindale Speedway, CA in 1970.

possibly the most un aerodynamic hood scoop ever atop a Camaro hood, lol

Pretty sure this is his son.

This was posted on 348-409 site tonight. Check out the name on the fender for Dyno tune!

Thanks! I spent some time searching before posting the original photo and seems there was a Jack Bayer was an engine builder and/or tuner. Not sure if the lettering on the Camaro relates to engine builder, driver, sponsor or ? Interesting to see that on the fender of that A/FX car though.

The '63 appears to be a Z-11 and the driver name on the roof says Jack Bayer. The lady who owns my local Chevy dealer is the daughter of Bill Bader. Cool stuff.

3rd car down list.

Thanks for posting that! Interesting that Draglist has the name spelt 'Rodacker' in contrast with the spelling on the car, maybe that's why it didn't come up in my previous searches. Good info there, confirms car was a 427 and had been wondering about the lack of fender engine size emblems.......

Rodocker Camaro
 

This Yenko Camaro belonged to my Uncle Roger Rodocker. He was the driver. He won a lot of races in that car. He passed away a few years ago. The Camaro was talked about for many years in our family.

Welcome to the site and thanks for posting. We'd love to hear more about your late uncle and/or the car if you have more to share.
