more than just a screen name

Naming cars was popular and gave them some "personality". I always likes '60's & early '70's music. "Locomotion" was originally done by "Little Eva" in '62 (written by Carol King) and re-done by Grand Funk railroad in '74. One definition of "locomotion" that I found was "power of movement", which I thought was fitting for a race car. I started using it on my cars in '79 and it continued on the internet screen names because that's how many people knew me.

I always thought that it would be cool to get pic and/or autograph from Eva Narcissus Boyd, but figured it would be to difficult to track her down, if I even got the nerve up to try. In 2003 I was planning to attend a race in Kinston, NC, where I had raced a few times before in previous years. Several months before the scheduled race, I heard that "Little Eva" had passed away where she had been living - in Kinston, NC!

I had considered "Good Vibrations" for the car, but it was taken.
