Default Roger Rodocker

I am Roger Rodockers son. My Dad bought this car from Crest Chevrolet in San Bernardino. My Dad was the driver and Jack Bayer drove occasionally while being the engine builder/tuner. When the car was picked up, it was taken directly to Jacks shop in El Monte where it was immediately made into a race car. My Dad raced from 1960 to 1971 and even though I was born in 72, I remember the tons of trophy’s around our house. I went to my first NHRA event in 1981, and was amazed at how many people recognized my father and were happy to see him. I remember in the late 80s a man calling our house because he had just purchased my Dads Z-11 here and tracked him down as the original owner.
