It was awesome to see these old names I spent many a night in your garage working on your dads car. When I saw Jim and Audrey's name it took me back to the night we chopped the roof, We started talking about how cool it would look with the roof chopped and Audrey threatened us not to chop it, she and jim mad the mistake of going to dinner and by the time they got back your dad and I had taken I believe it was 4 inches out of the roof. When she looked at it she loved it. It then got the Candy Apple Perl Morono Blue paint job. There used to be a guy called Pink also don't remember his real name but he always ran a front engine digger of course it was painted pink. Lots of memories at OCIR.

Here's a few more:

Probably my all-time favorite race car name, "Time & Money", an ET / Super Gas Vega (and later Corvette) campaigned by Marc Schifferle in WNY and southern Ontario
Mopar Missile (the 2nd generation name of the factory-backed Chrysler Pro Stock team formerly known as the Motown Missile)
Fred Hahn (of Pro Modified fame) campaigned a blown altered name "Satan's Revenge", primarily in WNY at Lancaster Dragway and on tour with the Supercharged Warriors
Gary Burgin's "The Orange Baron" - I loved the way that car looked when I was a kid:
