A few I either knew the owners and drivers of, or worked on:

Billy Hobbs' 62 Chevy II "Novacaine"
Billy Hobbs' 77 Hal Canode dragster "Short Circuit"
Wayne Basham's 68 Camaro "Rambunctious"
Alan Oakley's father owned a lumber company, so there were several cars in his stable named "Sawdust".
Jr. Crawford's 27 roadster "The Other Woman"
