I was always a fan of Butch leals California Flash name. The first race I ever went to as a kid, was a match race in 1964. Red 64 Ford Falcon with a Ford Cammer named Daddy Warbucks and a light Blue 64 Chevelle named SuperShaker. I remember a green 68 Hemi GTX that ran IHRA SS named HEMI-X. My neighbor had a Super Stock Z-28 named COLD SWEAT. I remember a modified car that was a bright yellow Demon named Screamin Yella-Demon with the appropriate graphics. Cars in the 60's had such great names. Back then it really meant something to have a car with a really good/cool name. Now it seems like everyone wants their name or a sponsors name and nothing else on the side of their cars. Oh well! Old Geezer Racing

Tom Rules In 73 or 74 at the IHRA Spring Nationals at Bristol, Tom had a futuristic Challegner body on his FLying Dutchman Funny Car. The rules only said it had to be a production car but the rules did not say when the car had to be in production. since his was a Dodge show car anbd Dodge said it would be going into production, he got to run it. Wonder what happened to that body? Man do I wish I had kept those old pictures from the 60's and 70's. Old Geezer Racing
