Randy, Things are good. I was hoping to take 'Heavens Door' to Mooresville. Hopefully I'll make it to Piedmont.

I've always been partial to Gene Bichlmeiers "Bick's Beater"
that he has on all of his super stockers.

The HAMB has a great thread going with this very same theme...

"Passionate Poncho" was a 57 Pontiac raced by Jack Thropp. I think it was a 347 with Rochester injection.

For all the music fans out there there was a AA/FC called Forever young (Dylan?) Also, a long time ago...early 70's a 55? Chev wagon called Magic Bus ala The Who.

I am one of those old timers that had the name Psych-Out on my 69 big block Nova when I first started racing back at Detroit Dragway in the 70's. I picked the name partly to denote the psychological, or the mental attribute of racing, and partly because it was a catchy name. After being absence from racing for many years, I just carried over the name to the new car I built about 4 years ago, a 68 Camaro. About everyone had names on their cars back then, don't know why people got away from it. Spectators would not likely remember the name of racers so much, but would remember your car name and root for their favorite.

Wow.These are fun!! From Irwindale,Orange County, and Riverside from 1974-1988,I remember a red 65 GTO with a 427 and a tunnel ram of Paul Harris:Ponti-Rat, Pat Melendy's string of Plymouth Roadrunner bracket cars(he was the Bird Man),American Rikshaw from an earlier post, a yellow 69 Dodge-Poison Dart, a red Challenger called Live Bait, a whole lot of SBC 4 speed Camaros and Novas called Mighty Mouse,a rather rough 57 Chevy called Strictly Business, and in the early 80's,I had a 63 Chevy 409 called Rapid Transit. It was featured by Doug Marion in the March 84 Super Chevy, more recently I built a 68 Chevelle stocker that had a tendancy to corkscrew rather noticably as it pulled the left front wheel, I called it "Yank". I built another one and called it Yank II when I sold the first one to Tony Janes,after we upgraded the rear suspension, it tamed them down considerably, speaking of Tony, he and Marv Ripes had a 57 Chevy stocker called the Powerglide Prosecutor. He has a 4 door Chevelle today called the Powerglide Prosecutor II. We also have a red 68 Chevelle wagon O/SA car called "the Mule." It was originally supposed to be a test mule for various drive line combinations. Let's hear some more from those days in So Cal racing!!
