Re: Race Car Names
I bought a new 1969 Camaro 6cyl 3spd built a bb 427/425 ran B/SA it was a new color for 69 Hugger Orange. My friends including Gordon Holloway of Comp Cam at Lakeland drag strip in Memphis said it looked like a pumpkin going down the track said I ought to put a green stem on the roof. Back then everybody had a name on their car. I thought about Charlie Brown waiting on the Great Pumpkin so there it was. I sold that car to Jerry Jennings in 1971 he still has it I tried to buy it back but not for sale. I built another about 1985 I'm racing now looks just like #1 I named it Great Pumpkin #2
