Growing up in NE Ohio in the early 70's seems like most dedicated race cars had names. My favorite was local hero Ron Hutter's "Canned Heat" early camaro pro stock.
Other favorites were "Flying Coffin" "We Haul" "Ridge Runner" "5th Amendment" "Queen Bee" "Superstition"

Has anyone mentioned "Metal Mistress"? Think it was a big ole' Impala wagon out of Connecticut. Maybe Frank Tantillo?
