Spy Photo!!!!
 

Rodger's car received a little more damage than he's shown you, but fear not.... he has worked many late nights to fix it! I was able to sneak out a spy photo of the new sheet metal work.

Please keep in mind that Rodger "bumped" a few people, and he was "bumped" into by a few people. Basically, his car is now showing the effects of the friendly bumping.... OK, OK,... his car is a little shorter now!

Major improvement: he added air extractors in the hood!

Here is the spy photo:

Those aren't air extractors, that's where his legs go to get to the pedals! :thumbsup:

I stand corrected!


--Eric

We need more pictures of said car

What he said

That's a bad little rabbit.

Thanks Eric - that is just to cool.

So Rodger you think you guys could build something like this for us vertically challenged guys.

Well I'm off for my 2nd race

Here is a video for my last race in the B main.



Here is the A main.



I make a guest appearance when the 9J gets into me again.

Rodger

Good luck tonight from MudBoogers Racing :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Rodger Look's like fun.:thumbsup:

Here is a video from the GoPro on Saturday night. I started the main in like 17th got to 9th, got and flat with 3 laps to go. I ended the night in 11th. Man was that so fun. Is it Saturday yet?

Awesome. That's it. I'm picking up and moving to Bakersfield.

I'm racing again this Saturday and the following Saturday there is a race an hour north of here in Porterville. I will get to race this car more in 2 months then a year of events with my Camaro.

You definitely have the bug! Man, that brings back memories. I was gassing and braking along with you. :lol: Isn't it awesome trying to pick up the guys line in front of you and trying to set him up for the pass?

Lookn good out there :thumbsup: Yup last season we raced just about every weekend all over the place and my driver went through withdraws when we had a week off LOL

BTW The Bakersfield IMCA gang invaded Ventura Raceway Thursday night, They're a Fast crowd

Here is another video of the front runners in my class. Man those boys can sure drive or slide those cars where they want.

Marty,

Is this what you had in mind when you asked Rodger about building cars for vertically challenged guys?.....

This is a slightly modified Fiat 126. The other pics I posted above are of a 126 as well.

I'm not sure if the tall guy could build something that low. Of course he could raise up the frame table so his back wouldn't hurt so much

So I had rough night last night. Got caught up in pretty much every incident on the track it seemed. Car had to be pushed off the track after I got tangled up with a some driver development Nascar super star fund raising for his charity. He hit me so hard in the side my radiator slid over a few inches and wrapped the shroud up in the fixed fan and the car would not restart. There was 2 laps left in the race at that point.

So when I got out of the car I noticed the left front was pretty badly cambered in. Well I'm guessing this is the cause.

Got the body torn off the drivers side to pull out the body bars and be ready for Saturday in 2 weeks.

I ended up 14th out of 21 for the night.

Do you ever plan on running Ventura, Perris or Victorville?

I have heard Ventura is pretty small, But if they get some hobby stock racing going I might give it a Whirl.

I would love to race in that big Hobby stock race Thanksgiving weekend, But I might let someone else drive my car that weekend.

I thought Victorville was no longer running.

At this point I'm pretty happy just running Bakersfield. I'm learning alot.

Rodger

What? Sheet metal repair??


:rofl:

That to, but just a much different method. I have learned you don't always need big fancy tools. You can do a lot with a big rubber mallet and 2 size 15 shoes.

But I have learned alot about driving loose.....And then the difference between putting 1 half inch wheel spacer on the left and 2, is night an day.

We have been hearing rumors that V-ville is coming back I believe we even have a race there later this year. Keep up the good work:thumbsup:
