Name the driver’s real name. Some of these’ll be pretty easy; some, you might have to think back a bit. Now, there may be more than one answer for some of these (I’m mostly lookin’ for local Florida guys), but after they’re all answered, I’ll give ya the ones I was lookin’ for
Buzzie
Rodeo
Ducky
Rapid (and no, I’m not looking for Richie)
Chargin’ (there’s at least three of these I can think of right off the top of my head, but lookin’ for one Florida guy)
