Re: Cool race car names!
This isnt a cool name by anymeans but does anyone remember an old superstock 68 camaro named "miscarriage"?? My dad bought a camaro back in the late 80's that had this on the side in paint it was real faded out and was black and silver.. Like I said not flattered with the name that was on the side of it..

Re: Cool race car names!
Bryan, you forgot "Second Effort"...
One of Dad's earlier race cars was a 70 Camaro he ran in SS and Modified in the 70's named "The Hillbilly Flash". Several cars from that era Bobby Baker named previously, ran at Riverside in Proctorville, OH and Kanawha Valley in Winfield, WV...back in the day. A few others I remember, "Almost Heaven" green 69 AMX, the Marshall Tucker Band cars made their treks through the area before and after they were bought from the band. Can't remember the name of the car; but a guy by the name of Joe Lemley (sp) ran a fastback Corvette in modified with a straight six. As a young kid growing up at the track, I loved those cars with the catchy names and slogans. How about "Mama's Mink", Joe and Alice Tysinger. Those were the days... Ronnie, Jr. |
Re: Cool race car names!
Did anyone mention the Sox & Martin cars with 'Lil Boss and The Boss Cuda's. Great thread by the way. Also remember the Bits & Pieces 4 door '60 Chevy of Kronenbitters from the Zanesville Oh area.

Re: Cool race car names!
Ronnie Jr. I also remember the old days at Riverside Dragstrip in Proctorville Ohio. I don't think Joe ever had a name on the Vette. The green AMX belongs to Hemi Adkins from Ravenswood, WV. He has owned the car since it was new and still runs in SS/B & SS/C. Mike
Mike Galuk JOE COOL RACING Stock-2080 P.S. Hope your Mom & Dad are doing well. I miss your Dad running K.V. Dragstrip. |
Re: Cool race car names!
Mike,
I couldn't remember if that was Hemi's AMX or not. His car has always ran good. I see him occasionally at D-1 events and the S/SS races at Hagerstown. Back at Riverside and Winfield, being a 10 yr old kid around all those cars was WAY COOL. Hoy's "Rajun Injun" Pontiacs Hundley Brothers Pontiacs Johnny Duncan's Pontiacs, too Charlie Betts' original 69 Z-28 with 46 miles, which Roger Keeling bought, raced and sold. I heard Charlie has bought it back to restore. Heard he still had the original motor and drivetrain. I thought Joe's Corvette had "Swamp" as part of the name or "frog" etc. Dad misses the racing activity and being around it. He is following a couple of leads right now but not for operating the track. Good luck this season. Ronnie, Jr. |
Re: Cool race car names!
Early 70's at NY Nat'l Speedway and Hamptons ,Sam Biondo and Phil Monteith the "Gray Ghost".Sam had a trailer and I flat towed my first Gremlin called the "Flying Shoebox".Car was original pewter silver,

Re: Cool race car names!
Al, You missed a track that shut everything down for 1 Hr for lunch.The bar by the train tracks on the way in was busy.Your dad,Don, Richie & Tony Neri & the whole Stratford gang had lunch there.Made for interesting racing when the afternoon activities started.I'll never forget Tony's Nova barrel rolling on the dirt embankment. I grew up waiting for the weekends to race with friends & enemies, party afterwards with dates & loonies.
