I met Roland and one of his partners in the NHOA at that time in the mid 1970s is what I remember at the Spring Fling car show and swap meet in San Fernando, CA. We talked about hemi motors for a little while and then he went about looking for parts.
He was putting a 1966 or 1967 B body together with a 426 street hemi motor together for NHRA stock class racing , I saw him at one or two Division 7races and several more times at the Fall and Spring Fling meets at Woodley park and I heard later he had moved back east.
RIP, my fellow Mopar racer Brother bow

I'm shocked! We seem to be losing too many people lately.
I met Roland years ago when he asked me to pen a short series of EFI articles for Chrysler Power, and again later when I spent several days with him at Muscle Car Restorations at an EFI class. He was 100% GENTLEMAN with a great sense of humor and of course he loved Mopars. So sorry to hear that we have lost one truly good man. RIP Roland. I'm sure they have Mopars where you are.

RIP Roland! Nice guy for sure. Got the headers on my car from him that were the magazines dyno test set! I will always be grateful!


416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out.
11.06 open headers----so far!!
