Default 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.

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.

Default 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.
