So what prompted you to choose your user name?

I like '60's and '70's oldies/classics. "Locomotion", originally by "little Eva" in the early '60's and then "Grand Funk Railroad" in the mid(?) '70's were among my favorites. Coincidently, one definition I found of "locomotion" was "power of movement". So I figured that was good name for a drag car.

I thought about "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys and a couple of others, but they were taken.

*Bob Reed - SS/A stick '68 Cuda use to use that name in the early '60's on one of his early cars, but I didn't find that out till long after I started using it.

* I raced in Kinston, NC several times about 7-10 years ago. A few months before the last time I went, I heard that "Little Eva" had passed away. She had been living in Kinston, NC!
I always thought it would have been cool to get a pic and autograph, but I could never imagine how that could happen. Yet, I was so close several times.

* In Stanton, MI, a dad came up with his daughter who was about 4-6 years old. She was very shy but he said she wanted to say "Hi" and see the car. The reason was that "Locomotion" was her favorite song in dance class! I won that weekend, just before there was a bad downpour. I was looking around for them hoping they might still be there and want to join me in the winner's circle. Unfortunately, I never did find them and don't know if they saw the win.
