PRESENTS THIS WEEKS DRIVER PROFILE

RODNEY PEACHER
What does R.R. R.R. R. P. stand for? What else but
"The rough 'n ready rodent from Reseda, Fodney Peacher!
Rodney says he's been called the "Rodent" since high school,
he's a Van Nuys High grad, class of '67 by the way. He
heard a lot of nicknames when he first came to the Super
Track four years ago and he decided "Rodney the Rodent" was
good enough to continue using.
July 19th was a big night for Mr. Peacher. He won every
race he qualified for. It was his first ever trophy dash in
four years at Saugus, and he won it, along with every other
race he was in that night. In Rodney's words, "When we first
came out here, we didn't know a thing, so we literally
learned by doing." Is that what they call "0,J.T," Rodney,
on-the-job-training?
The #35 Street Stock '67 Chevelle is cared for by many people. The crew consists
of Robbie Lewis, Larry Adams, ( who also cares for #53) Jean Boggs, "C. B. ," John Beard,
Chuck & JUdy Smith and Eddy & Doug Kahn. When Rodney first brought out a car, His
sponsors were Golden State Radiator and Globe Tire. Now in his fourth season, both
sponsors are still with him. "The better I do, the more they give me," says rodent.
Having spent two years in "Uncle Sam's" Army, Rodney was a member of the Fourth
Armored Division in Germany. Anyone else out there affiliated with the "Honest John
Rocket Crew"???? Rodney's been in Southern California for nineteen years now and was
born in Decatur, Illinois on January 5, 1949. He's working for Eberhard Roofing Co.
and has been since 1968.
Mr. Peacher has a very special thanks to a lot of folks who talked him into continuing
to race at the Super Track. He almost quit a couple of years ago when he got "T-boned"
in the figure eight intersection. It totalled the car, but thankfully Rodney's all right.
A lot of people came by the pit that night and urged him to continue and I for one am glad
they did.
The rodent from Reseda is too good a comptetitor to lose. Thank you Rodney for spending
some time with me and letting the fans get to know you a little better.
"Irish"
