That would be expensive... if you could ever get it built seeing that so many of their items are never in production! Cheesy

Mid Life Crisis    Grin Wink

Here in the Northwest, there was a '61 roadster that ran for years by Tim Branson by that name.  It was a sweet 11-second bracket racer!  Now it's just light blue with white flames and no name... :-( 

My own personal contribution is "Stage Fright."  Oh yes, I will build it one day...

Hmm... I guess the main question is whether or not there's CURRENTLY a race car by that name?  Grin  I think every cool name has probably been used at least once... ah well.  Not like Im going to have a race car any time soon.  8-)

I think you're right, there are some names that showed up on many racers over the years - VW, V8, others...  For instance:

Quarterflash
Quartertoy
Pocket Change
Dad's Toy
Dad's addiction

I've seen these names on all kinds of race cars over the years....

hmmm....I`d really like too but I think its better to get the car more finished before revealing the name. Dont want anyone to ripp it of right in front of me  Wink

Fred, in Norway we say "Laying Cable"

I have made so many lists of gasser names, but my favorite right now is the new gasser of Folkevogn!!

Are you going to share it Folke?

Other favorites are "Schöne Mae" and "The hunted" and of course the future gasser of Rocket Racing, "Holly Letmolie"!
