Can we have a thread of Race Car names?

[SteveSS]

I was looking through a recent magazine and the car names were great. Super Snake and White Trash were the ones that stuck in my head.

Way back when, a buddy's older bro had "**** and get" on his chevelle, Detroit dragway made him change it so he removed the s and it became "hit and get"

Desperado
Wild Thang'
Silver Streak
The B_I_T_C_H
Money Pit
Daddy's Toy
Kodiak Express {never put the name on the car , it was just know as that to me & my friends}
Thunderstruck
Time Warp
Plain Jane {I was gonna' name it that because it was white, I never did, my friends called it that}

I also had a funny car that was named before I got it
Worlds Fastest Hippie {Mike Mitchell's}

I had a couple friends with
Crazy Horse IHBA TFFB & a Nostalgia SCTA FE Fuel Dragster
Hillbilly IHBA TFH
Smoke on Water IHBA TFH
Instigator
Diamond Jim
The Other woman
Folsom Flash
Temptation
Killer Tomato
Screamin' Eagle
Mighty Mouse
Metric Mouse
A Ton of Fun {car weighed exactly 2000#'s with full fluids & driver}
Evil Twin {P/S twin to Lee Shepard's Car}
Gold Digger {FE Fuel dragster with gold metal-flake paint}
Wild Child {FE Fuel Dragster, Goat-farm}

I liked was an ol' 70 `cuda F/C Vulture
Wonder Wagon & Star Dust {Don Schumacher's F/C's}

The Snake & Mongoose F/C's hands down are by far my favorites F/C's

most racecars after the mid-late 1980's lost the names
especially when big $$s sponsors where involved
a few sportsman racers still do it, it's nothing like it used to be though...

AA/FA's
Wildman, Wild Willie Borsche
Nanook of the North
Blazen Hasen
Pure Hell
Pure Heaven
The MOB

Can't forget
Swamp Rat {Don Garlits}
Blue Max {Raymond Beadle}
Nuclear Banana {Eddie Hill}
The Boss { Ronnie Sox}

They called mine FROG. The front suspension was too tight, the rear shocks too short for the SS springs to work and it would "Hop" out of the hole when the suspension would unload. Just a teenager with no money and used what ya got. Photo was from 1976 fresh out of the paint shop.My buddy's one car garage with a Sears compressor and paint gun.Those were the days !
