Cool race car names! - Page 24

Kim & Wilbur Wright's "Wright On' C/G Cuda. Now that takes me back. Their previous car was a '66 Dart C/Gasser with the same name. After it rolled at OCIR we called that one "Wright Over". Kim wasn't hurt so we could laugh about it later. The Cuda was a much better car once it got sorted out. There were a lot of neat names on cars in the sixties and seventies. It was a great time to have been introduced to the sport.
