Cool race car names!

WJ,
Don't know if you ever saw a black 72' Buick Riviera w/455 cubed up there,
around 74'/75'.
Car was pimped out, but nicely done, with satin finish Ansens and lettered "Johnny Wadd"
In reference to John Holmes, the porn star actor.
On the trunk deck lid, it was lettered "This car is long and hard'
Car was out of Hartford, downtown area
The damn thing ran in SS/PA or SS/QA, and did run respectible times.

I didnt read all the pages but my personal favorite was Marty Snowballs 69 Mustang Cobrajet stocker called "Cobrajunk". Maybe its because I named it, I dont know.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it - Skip Nordenbergs' "Cobra Rat" Mustang gasser, driven in the early seventies by Chris Piersall. One of my personal favorites!

Paul, I don't remember the Porn-star Riviera, but there were a couple of other boys that always came with a large crew and large contingent of fans from Connecticut. They ran a early BB Chevelle automatic stocker that had "Cool Breeze" written down each side. In smaller letters it read, "If you are hot, Breeze will cool you off". That car was a savage.....when ever he raced around here, he definitely cooled alot of guys off, right onto their trailer... WJ

I've dubbed my Drag Pak "The Phantom"... Anyone that knows the dragpak story and all the trials it went thru know what I'm talking about.. One day its there and the next minute its gone... And this happened almost daily for over 14 months....

WJ,
The only reason I remember the Porn-Star Riviera, is because the cool guys that had the car always played "Superfly" (Curtis Mayfield), on the cars 8-track. Those big Buicks did have the best factory stereo systems of the day.
Was a consistent SS/PA or SS/QA winner with 14.70's. Not bad for a
#4300lb beast. Kept all the class trophy's in the trunk, and would trade them for a Six-Pack of Colt 45. Tall-boys of course.

Were any of those Riv's dual-quad motored cars? WJ

Mack, hope to see that DP car of yours at the track sometime soon....Yes, those cars sure are making their owners serve a "apprenticeship" in order to achieve success at the track w/them, but no different from anything else that's new, for sure.....Best wishes with it....WJ

WJ,
Not in 1972.
I think just the low-compression 455 with a big Quadrajet
Wonder what the headers cost for that 72' Buick.
Also, the purple carpeting,,,,,wall-to-wall

Anybody ever run a Chrysler Cordoba, with the fine Corinthian leather.
