OMG, I was doing Penny Yin's arc in Faultline and I had to hunt down one of the Lost named Muxley.

When I found him, he said:  [NPC] Muxley: Rackin' frackin' rausey-rakin'!

 

Classic cartoon curses.  I think his name comes from Muttley, Dick Dastardly's sidekick (who didn't talk; he just snickered).

Originally on Infinity.  I have Ironblade on every shard.  -  My only AE arc:  The Origin of Mark IV  (ID 48002)

Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

The 7 Lost Bosses at the end of that arc are also references to Wacky Races drivers,

 

Slag of Skyway - The Slag Brothers
Gruesome of Galaxy - The Gruesome Twosome
Blast of Hollows - Sergeant Blast
Ruffcut of Perez - Rufus Ruffcut
Ant of Atlas - The Ant Hill Mob
Blubber of Steel - Blubber Bear
Dastard of Fault - Dick Dastardly

 

And of course, Penelope Yin - Penelope Pitstop

This is why I will never not insist that Pitstop be her hero codename, until such time as Pitstop is formally made her hero codename.

As a huge fan of the Wacky Races growing up, I am ashamed that I never made this connection.  I thought the Lost bosses names were odd, but never thought of this show. ☺️
 

Thank you for pointing it out! 👍

Of course, the raises the question - who was your favorite Wacky Racer?  My siblings & I all had different favorites, & would dance in our jammies when our team won.

 

Since I was the “smart one”, I always pretended that my favorite was the inventor Pat Pending in his Converter Car, since that is what my siblings expected.  But my real favorites were the Slag Brothers.  Watching cavemen beat their car with clubs to make it up faster always made me laugh.  “‘s’all right” 😂
