Long time crewmember 511 , 811 and 911 roadsters passed 2-13 11. Roger passed from complications during heart surgery steming from a staff infection. Roger lived in Lufkin Texas but grew up and went to school up here in Orland Ca. with Dave and Shirlee Davidson. Roger was a super great guy and a vision of health only a year ago. He will leave an empty spot on our crew that cannot be filled.
Gods speed to Roger and the Jordan family.

Whether I knew Roger or not -- may he rest in peace.  It's always a sad day when I hear of the death of a racer, but at least I gain a good boost in my own outlook -- I can be happy that I'm still alive and able to enjoy life and racing.  Thanks for everything, Roger.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.

In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230

Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime.  His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.

Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.
