[ancrdave]

This place has been so fricking dead lately... Let's have some fun...

Let's start a list of drivers with unusual names that you've heard of or seen race... famous or not...

I'll start with three and photos of two of them...

1) Sy Coe... this was not his real name but he was one of the characters that raced in S. FL many years ago...

2) Dudie Babey... One of many NE Modified drivers from the 60's

3) Ridge Sink... Can't find a photo... not even at the archives... He was from Jacksonville and ran a few Dash Series races...

I raced against a guy at Hialeah named, "Lucky Parker". Orange #93 street stock. Looked like a pumpkin. (The car, not him.) One night he finished in the top 5 and the inspector came over to him and said, "What's your name?" He replied, "Lucky", and the inspector said, "Not tonight, your DQed."
Another SS guy, "Shorty Guptill".
