Alright, let me share my experience with you all today.
I got to know that guy, Roger Rodas, from the news. As far as I know, he passed away a while back in a car crash. It was quite a shock. He was only 38, same age as that actor, Paul Walker, who also died in the same accident. They said Rodas was the one behind the wheel of that Porsche Carrera GT when it lost control and hit a light pole or something.
So, I started digging into who this guy was. Turns out, Rodas was quite the accomplished fellow. He was a race car driver, competing in the Pirelli World Challenge, and also a wealth manager at some big-shot financial firm, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. Ran an office up in Glendale, I think. From what I gathered, he was originally from El Salvador but lived in Valencia with his wife and two kids.
He Was a Racing Driver
I found out that he had a thing for cars, especially racing. He co-founded a racing team called Always Evolving Racing and even raced car number 52. I read somewhere that his co-driver, in car 75, was Erik Davis.
- I learned he had a family.
- I realized he had a co-founded charity with Walker.
- I discovered he was a race car driver.
As I dug deeper, I came across this bit about him being a native of El Salvador, born in 1975. Rodas was more than just a race car driver; he co-founded a racing team based in Valencia, California. He was quite accomplished in GT car racing.
It’s a sad story, losing someone so young and full of life. Anyway, I just wanted to share what I found out about Roger Rodas.
That’s all I got for today.
