Buddy Ingersoll's Olds had a blue stripe, his name, and Wayne County Speed shop on the side, and stickers of course. The picture I have from 5/27/77 Nat. Drag. doesn't show any trick name on the car.

Thanks. I remember the blue and white paint, but somehow thought there was a car name on the fender.

Not to pick on the imports,, but how about Terry Hoard's high revvin' ear piercin' Mazda called "The Samorai Warrior", (I hope I spelled it right) and we have a guy out here in the NW now with an old primered gray VW beetle that he calls "The Flying Turd".................................

Hey Kim even though our friend John Bender is very active, can we add his name to the list because I didn't see CHEAP TRILLS mentioned anywhere. I always liked the logo GROUNDS FOR DIVORSE, very true never got to use it [long story there], but I did get to speak with BIG JIM DUNN a few years back and got his permission and rights to FIREMAN'SQUICKY.

Growing up in D1 I've got to see some pretty cool car names. Mr. Boudreau's golddigger is probobly the most known being it was on so many cars he has had. Jerry Stein had the Teacher's Pet, and for the ford guys out there. Jim Conte, Sr. campained the Shockwave 68 fastback mustang that most people that know jimmy and his dad remember it being blue with white shelby stripes the last time they raced the car. Gotta give props to Wally Clark too! He had a million cars and they all said Wally Clark on the side! That should be up there with car names. At least out here on the east coast! and also Jim Bouburka and of course Joe Scott! They had many cars with simply there name on. Very fast and great looking cars also!

My Dad, Jerry Jennings had "Aggrivation" on his race cars for many years. It started with his Panel Wagon, then a 1960 Corvette, then the 1969 Camaro "Aggrivation Too". Yes, it was misspelled. It was that way when he bought his first car. The first car also had "Can you beleve a 283 ?". My Dad's traveling buddies called him "Mr. Aggrivation" on the CB radio. I bought my Camaro, Aug 1,1996, and went to Greer Dragway to do my first burn out. A long time racing friend said "Little Aggrivation has a car now". I liked it, and put "Li'l Aggravation" on the side of my car. I had to spell it correctly! Almost two years ago now, Dad bought his Grand Prix, and he put "Mr. Aggravation" back on it. Unfortunately, both cars have become an aggravation with breaking parts and just not working like they should.
