  • Best race car name ever

    Whaddya think is the best race car name ever?

    My evening is being consumed with beer, my scanner, and a pile of old drag papers for an item that'll run on Monday. Seeing all the bitchin' names these racers used to use on their cars has my head spinning.

    The best so far? Steve Pick's front engine top fuel car from 1968:

    The Black Plague

    --- frigging awesome.

    What's your pick?

      I'm partial to "Color Me Gone" but maybe you had to be there in those times. "Color Me Whatever" was a common expression at the time.

          I kinda liked "little red wagon"

          "mexican jumping bean" were both good wheel stander names
          I had a 78 nova that just said "cosmetically challenged" across the trunk lid
          that was very fitting!!!!

            While in VA, I attended a race with BigBuds1
            car called Time Well Wasted, thought that was a great one, not the best, but I liked it
            Rumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated.

              You're kidding, right?

              Chuck Salmen ran a '34 roadster on the salt called "$um Fun", Lee Sicilio's Daytona salt racer is "Fa$t Money".
              How about "Ridge Route Terrors", "Grumpy's Toy", "Swamp Rat", "Motown Shaker", or "Flying Dutchman"?
              More - "Hemi Under Glass", "Kansas Badman", "Eastern Raider", even "Mormon Meteor".

                        silver bullett must be common.

                        it is a favorite..
                        I saw it with a unique firebird, the last years of the very lively real 455. it fit it well, and the paint was really different...shiny and dull.

                        those front ends needed everythng to help them from ripping into a pile of crap. seeing that with silver bullett could have meant literal (of course not) but it is in memory....it just simply went well knowing the car, and seeing the paint that extreme.

                        other than that, I can't think of any.. I seem to beeline to sights and sounds of engines.

                          All great names, but the Ridge Route Terrors was not the name of the car. That was the nickname given to the Warren, Coburn, and Miller Top Fuel team that ran the "Rain for Rent" dragster.

                          If we're going team names, than I'd submit the Gas House Gang, Dead End Kids, Over the Hill Gang, Frantic Four, etc.

                            Chuck Dannen of Rhodes, Iowa has a pulling tractor that is properly named: WASTED WAGES

                            Joe Weiler, an attorney in Topeka, Kansas has named his Chevy Malibu drag car, BILLABLE HOURS

                            but, my ALL TIME FAVORITE is that of Bruce Wiedmaier of Topeka, Kansas with his early 90's Murph McKinney-built rear engine dragster he calls "THE MONEY SPONGE"
