My First Autocross

Yeah Dennis... I was just kidding a bit! Please...

do call me Tony or Papa though... "Black Tooth" is my ride.



And here's why...



My friend Rick stumbled over words when talking about my TWO '79's, and said Black Fang or something like that, and then the old Soupy Sales puppets came to mind... Black Tooth and White Fang, the Nicest and Meanest Dogs in the world! It was Rick that had the vinyl lettering made!



Excerpts from Wikipedia...


  • White Fang, "The Biggest and Meanest Dog in the USA", who appeared only as a giant white shaggy paw with black triangular felt "claws", jutting out from the corner of the screen. Fang spoke with unintelligible short grunts and growls, which Soupy repeated back in English, for comic effect. White Fang was often the pie thrower when Soupy's jokes bombed.
  • Black Tooth, "The Biggest and Sweetest Dog in the USA", also seen only as a giant black paw with white triangular felt claws, and with more feminine, but similarly unintelligible, dialogue. Black Tooth's trademark was pulling Soupy off-camera to give loud and noisy kisses.
