THAT is probably one of the coolest photos I have ever seen. Think the starting line was sagging under all that weight?

Do you find yourself wondering if the pictures of todays race cars will be as cool to look at in twenty years?? Probably not the dragsters, but what about the stock and super stock cars?

Maybe I am showing my age; but one of the best slogans ever was on the deck lid of every car that Tasca Ford campaigned from the early '60s to the early '70s - "Suivez Moi" which in French means "follow me". Two more of my favorites are "Grounds for divorce", and "With my wife's permission".

"On a quiet night,you can hear a ford rust" My wood shop teacher in high school had that licensce plate on the front of his beat up old chevy truck,always made me crack up laughing.The messed up part about the whole thing was that he actually was a ford guy.

On the front of Al Ackerman's F/D-"The older I get, the faster I was." And the one that never made it on the side of my car because Chip Banney, Jr. came up with the name "The Three Ring Circus", "there goes the retirement fund."

Re: Witty Slogans Seen On Race Cars
 
I'll add one...

"Just a second, I'm comin'!"

As seen on the front spoiler of Ken Barnhart's SS/B '69 ZL1 Camaro...he bought that car brand new, and still races it to this day...probably my most favorite car on the planet!

On the back o my C/SM '69 Camaro in the late 70s: Never Endin Spendin
My wife's often repeated lament.
Amazing how many people had to ask what that meant. They weren't racers.

I like the dig at NASCAR: "If you can TURN, you're not going fast enough!"

Sighted on a Grand National Buick: "I KNOW the light is green; I'm waiting for the BOOST!!!"

There are lots of milionaires in drag racing; They USED to ne "MULTI - Millionaires!!!

On Ray Head's Chevy painted in small words under each letter in V/SA were "Very Slow Auto"

Always got a kick out of that. Ray always had a good sense of humor.

Not exactly a slogan, but waaay back (early 70's) when hood scoops were becoming commonplace, I was snooping around and looking into some guy's scoop, and I was HAD! On the inside of the scoop the guy had a message for guys like me. It read ' what the f**k are ya' lookin' in here for?'
I must not have been the only one.

Not exactly a slogan, but on the drivers side 2nd window I have a decal thet reads " It's time for you to pull over and change the air in your head". It is for me when I get in the car to race, I think I might need to adhere. Also, under the hood I have the mathmetic symbol equation " Pie R Squared" with it's little squigly line and the R with a small number 2 beneath it. Alot of people try to figure it out, but only true geniuses know what it means.

U/SA Pie R round, cornbread is squared

A guy by the name of Tommy Martin worked for Dakin on his T/F car and his best slogan was..........
