A Dragstrip near Topeka, Ks. mid 60's, two cars from KCMO called "Bad Bascom" and "Boss Tweed". Early 60's Muncie Dragway, "Hogan's Goat".

Hey Bob, that "Bankruptcy" name? Is that one picture from Indianapolis Raceway Park in the 70's? I remember a greenish Camaro that had that or a variation of that name in the 70's. May be the same car, maybe not.

Car names were always cool. I remember a 62-63 D/G Nova, local car named "Poppin Fresh".

Another one I recall, a case where the owner of the car made the name. It was a homebrew AA/GS owned by Ed Allen, I think that was his last name, forgive me, I'm going back 35-36 or so years, had "BIG ED" painted on the side. Big Ed was a character. He worked on that car out of a little one car garage, I'll use that term loosely, attached to his house. First time I met him, he shook my hand and then yelled out "Mommy, cook these boys up some of that fresh sausage and feed'em a sandwich, they look hungry"! Ed was to put it kindly, a big guy. The car would be a deathtrap by todays standards. A crude frame with a blown 392 Hemi bolted to it.

Default Cool race car names!

Baltimore-based Ken and Wayne Ewing campaigned this '62 409 Impala named "Mr. Intensified" until their younger brother 14-year old Gary joined the team as driver. Gary quickly demonstrated his value to the team by setting the A/Stock record at Capitol Raceway when he was just 15!! The engine was built by Racing Parts and Machine in Baltimore, and the fender well headers were fabricated by Herb Gebler. Major tuning decisions were made by oldest brother Ken.

Default Cool race car names!

The Ewing Brothers replaced their '62 Impala "Mr. Intensified" with a '69 Z28 Camaro named "The Little Zipper." The car has undergone many changes and improvements since September 1968 when Ken Ewing placed his order for this Z28 at Anderson Chevrolet in Baltimore. Nowadays the Ewing Brothers continue to race the latest version of the "The Little Zipper" though they discontinued use of the name long ago.
