Default Re: Car Name Memories

Having come of age in the era of most race cars having names I toyed with a couple for my Willys , none that ever came to life
It took an offhand comment from a certain ProStock racer from Malvern to coin the
" Bullets to Spare " name that the Willys and now the Vette wear.
After breaking an engine [AMC back then] the first day of a Maple Grove divisional race I went home and thrashed an engine together out of whatever I had .
When I got back the next day ,I was pitted next to Paul Thimm and Kevin Robb . Jenkins was there with them and casually walked by my car and said, How many spare AMC bullets do you have ?
Bill's unwitting contribution to my racing program !
