Cool race car names!

I kinda like my uncle name for his Opel GT. "Wind Of Change" Which was rather appropriate considering he changed from a small block 69 Camaro to the Buick V6 powered Opel GT. An alternate name for this car might have been "A Gallon Of Go" as this was a 3.8 litre engine which everyone knows that 3.8 L = 1 gallon.

Rich Oakes' "Resurrection" He is currently on number 3. He had 57 Chevy named the "Green Onion" before that, with of course, a big block.

"Gorilla Milk", 57 Chevy that was white.

How about the "Screamin' Yellow Zonker" modified production VW??

East Coast Mazda of Al McEachern named the "Rotary Rattler".

Chip Banney's gasser the "Dancing Bear".

How about going way back to the early sixties at 75-80 drag-o-way in Maryland.
Bob Luck 57 Chevy F.I. car "Little Terror"
Bill Riddle 61 Ford 39f0 car "Mr X"
Glenn Rennie 61 Pontiac Catalina tri power car "Snort"
Dennis Durban 57 Chevy "Sea Dog" and later a Z-28 "Sea Terror"
Hubert Buttry with Ivan Jordan driving 62 red metal flake 409 "Rompin Redskin"
Leon Miranian 58 Chevy Bel Air :Fuel Injected Banana" and later 65 Impala "Armenian Rug Beater"
Malcom Durham 63 Z-11 Chevy "Strip Blazer"
Sam Pannuty 55 Chevy Gasser "Poor Boy"
Robbie Edwards 63 Max Wedge Dodge "Mr Dependable"
Fred Leigh 63 Max Wedge Plymouth "Mr Buttons"
Bud Faubel 63 Max Wedge Dodge "The Honker"

Lots more, will add more if I can rember them!

MIKE 75/80 DRAGS on friday nights were the best racing going for me.
Try these names on for size.
BLACKJACK 64 T BOLT GLEN FRAZIER& JACK ARNEW
JACK THE RIPPER 64 A/S FORD
PINK SATTLELIGHT 34 FORD A/G SUPERCHARGER VERNON ROWLEY (deceased)
HEMI-ROIDE 68 CUDA SS/AA RICHARD SHIPPLEY

These are nanes from the past,(1956 thru 1975),before big money took over the sport.
I just guess that the way of things!
