Wompin Wagon out of Mobile Ala. Racing since the 60s, Owner Bubba ***mins and crewman Pete Pearce
both p***ed last year. Driver Randy Griffis just p***ed last month. Not sure what will happen with car now, but know
that Bubba wanted the car to continue to run after his p***ing. Car runs with Southern Outlaw G***ers.

 

Back in the 70's I bought a BW 4 speed from a guy in Ankeny Iowa. He too had a 38 Chevy coupe, nose high, very nicely built car that he raced, he had "Mr Barabee" (sp??) in big letters on the side, I asked the significance and it was something about a college course??? wish I remembered more. The guy would probably be in his late 70's now, I wonder what happened to him, nice guy...nice car.

 

I called mine 'In My Prime'

I was initially calling my 55 "Glory Stomper" after seeing the ****ty biker movie called The Glory Stompers. I had it all lettered (In vinyl in case I ended up just not feeling it, which turned out to be the case).


But my dad's nickname was "Wimpy" based off the Popeye character. He put in a lot of time helping me work on my car. He was a machinist almost his whole working life. He died in 2015. We used to talk about having a speed shop and how cool it would be, so I came up with "Wimpy's Speed & Machine" to honor his memory. So then I got to thinking "Quarter Pounder" was kinda funny and fit the Wimpy's Speed & Machine branding. I'd probably go that route were I to re-letter the car.
I also considered "Vertigo" since I get bouts of vertigo from time to time.
