My racing name is Ed Rodgers...at least that's what it says on my second hand fire suit.
Lake Speed
On a semi-related note, why should drag racing and NASCAR have all the cool nicknames: The Snake, Mongoose, Big Daddy, Silver Fox, Cha-Cha, Million Dollar Bill, Smoky, etc.
Ari Vatanen, Richard Burns. First one I just like the sound of and the second, well... Coo-Coo Marlin, Rayce Brown, Smokey Yunick, Shady Mc Whorter
Nicknames. Handsome harry gant...i think it has a lot to do with the people who watch dragracing and nascar they like nicknames most have them and the sponsors have a lot to do with it
Dick Trickle...
John Force..
Will power...
Most of mine are from F1:
Heinz-Harald Frentzen
Divina Galica
Spider Webb (from the '50s) is my favorite.
I've always liked "Fangio". It just sounds menacing. The full version "Juan Manuel Fangio" not so much.
Harvey Mushman

Just mulling things over out loud.
