Roland started his top fuel career in 1964, but crashed on one of his first runs. Coming back in 1965 he hired Don Prudhomme to drive and in 65, and 66 won the Winter and U.S. nationals back to back. In 69’ Roland abandoned his dragster for a funny car. 70-80s Roland campaigned a variety of “Hawaiian” funny cars.
In 1991, Leong once again won the US Nationals at Indianapolis, this time in Funny Car Eliminator, and with Jim White driving. Later, at the Chief Nationals in Dallas, Texas, his "Hawaiian Punch" Funny Car was the first in the class to break the 290-mph speed mark.
After a brief break from the sport, Roland again reappeared in 2009, this time as a crew chief for "vintage" Nitro Funny Cars racing primarily in NHRA's new Hot Rod Heritage Series.
