Driver Nickname Trivia

[John Berti]

Good morn Mr Berti, Frass 118 and all

Yes Mr Berti it was Steve Evonsion. Used to love him watch the maroon coach #300 at the Park.

Here are a couple more before we head out to the races.

The Killer
Professor
Flyin' Ryan (not Newman)
The Hammer
T Mac
EPJ
King
Rebel Ross
JP
T-Bone
Flyin Fire Chief from Haverhill.


Hope the rain stays away from all tracks tonight. You mentioned Showtime tonight with the Sprints. I'll be heading (hopefully) to East bay for final chance to use my rain stubs from a couple of weeks back. East Bay Sprints, Fl Mini Sprints plus more. Should be a good show. Drive safe everyone.

After Steve Evonsion, Gig Smith took over driving the #300. From what I understand Gig lives in Florida and has for a while.

One of the greatest nicknames from Florida short tracking belonged to a guy who was not remembered as a race driver. Who was "5 X 5"?

The Black Knight was Johnny Bogemann, in the #61.

That would be long time track photographer Bobby Day. While he never was known for it he did drive a race car early on in his career. His photos make up a significant partt of Eddie Roche,s Motorsports Retrospective books.
