Roger Weaver.
Past U.S. Nationals S/G champ and all around good guy Roger Weaver passed last week. He was a friend to me and dozens of other young racers and hotrodders on Indys Southside.

Re: Roger Weaver.
Dang, more sad old hometown news. Another good one lost. So long ago I had hoped to buy Roger's blue 67/68 Mustang coupe when he put it up for sale. But I was scratching my way out of a big hole at the time and couldn't swing it. Knew and later raced with his son Jeff.

Re: Roger Weaver.
LOL! Yeah, it was a sneaky little bugger. Mustang wheelbase with Maverick suspension. Had changed my mind about selling it and was going to put it on the street. Mufflers and street tires was all I had to do. But it was still advertised in The Trader paper and a father/son came down from Lafayette and bought it as a roller. First time I went to IRP, Marty Barrett was still checking in cars. He said: Well, I'll be. Somebody found something to do with a Granada! I think it might have been a Ford only race. Fun Ford Weekend?
Was it your 64 Fairlane Roger fixed the roof on or was it one of your brothers? Victor in Kingman |

Re: Roger Weaver.
The Fairlane was mine. I put on the street after that. My son raced it for years then got his own cars after that. He still has it at his shop. I gave it to him when I moved to Florida.
