automotive names

ok... odd request here but what the heck

i've been racking my brain for race-related names... preferably ones suitable for a first name. when i say race-related i mean drag/nitro/alcohol/you get my drift

here's what i mean:
taylor-cable/wire & of course safety gear
brooks-rods
brody-cylinder heads

what ones can y'all come up with? and give me the reference

ps... you may end up helping a very needy k-9 gain an identity

 

Found this old list, some are no longer in business

i think John has it covered.

 

I had a Rottweiler named Brody. A friend of mine who grew up in a family body shop had a dog named Bondo. To hear him calling it from the back porch was hilarious. I once knew a woman whose nickname was Cammy.

Steve

 

An old friend had a dog named Dammit, the neighbors loved it when he called him from the street!

 

cool... yeah my dogs are my kids and not too long ago my boxer passed away... his name was Brody. i knew he was ill and so i adopted him a little brother off of death row in cincinnati his name is brooks.

well i think it's time for him to have a 'little' brother

appreciate everyone sharing... keep'm coming

 

go here www.myspace.com/daveloweswr and you will see our love of me and my wifes life..our BIG standard black poodle..and yes she is part of the crew

 

I can remember John Paris, an BB/FC driver from Maryland years ago named his daughter Enderle Ann, like the fuel injection company

 

The Funny Car builder Gordy, (I don’t think anyone except Mark Thomas and Von Smith knows his last name) the dog at his shop was named Nitro. Gordy would draw lighting bolts on each side of the dogs head, then color the drawings in with blue hair dye.

 

You could name the dog Rapid Randy

 

Last year when we was out there picking up the new charger
Gordy's dogs used a crate in the shop left over from a funny car chassis as their house, we had to move it to bring everything in and out then put it back for them, I also know his last name
i will say hi to him for you as we are returning the car for updates next week

 

dude... that's just mean!! and i'm against animal cruelty!!

besides... if i named him Rapid Randy he'd just run into the fence every time i let him out in the yard!!

although... if i did actually name him Rapid Randy and he mis-behaved i could beat his ass with a rolled up news paper just like i used to beat Randy's when we match raced!!

now... that's funny right there... i don't care who ya are!!

 

Ouch!!! I'm surprised Rapid hasn't chimed in yet. His tail must be between his legs.

 

i haven't heard from the "old feller" lately, maybe Randy is actually working these days
