Re: Your name on your car
I was always quite fond of guys' names as well as naming their race cars. Sadly, it's gone out of style, but I would love to see it make a come back.

Re: Your name on your car
Cars with names is lost to the past, for the most part. I think there are still a few, but not many. The last car I raced had my name on the driver's door window and my wife's name on the passenger door window.
I wish names of cars would make a comeback. I remember one for sure from many years ago - "Charmer" on Bill Kost's 77 Cutlass when his wife drove it.

Re: Your name on your car
I use an open trailer and with today's crime technology, I don't want anybody looking me up for the wrong reasons.

Re: Your name on your car
Gary Howe's Chevys are Rowdy (I/II...) Jr. Howe runs his name on the door. I think his car is Green Hornet. Kenny O'Light O'Keefe runs a name on the door. He had a car fire and built it back up. It's not signed, but it's known as Phoenix. Brian Thompson and Brian Seaburg all run with names. I think it makes a car and driver more identifiable. Nicknames are cool, too. Tracks here in the NorthWest are all old. Bremerton has run at an abandoned runway since the '50s. Maybe the water makes us Old School...
EDIT: If I had the cash, my car would have this on the door. My Mom called her spending money Mad Money.
