Roger was just a simple country man with a passion for engineering/mechanics. His reputation on the racetrack was the Boss! He won many trophy’s and respect in the field of mechanics and racing. He was before his time! He engineered and developed a special gas flow carburetor for better mileage and performance in the sixties. The industry still uses this technology today. His reputation and victories on the track are still remembered. But his greatest victory was his Salvation. He has driven his last lap, his race is over. He now is home with the Lord.
