I don't wish to snark, but will this frumious racer go ever un-hunted? Have you taken a holiday, Henry?

Voila! The builder's name was (sometimes) separated into two words, depending on the source.

For those non-native English speakers, here's the first few lines of the poem that was the clue for the name of the Formula Vee racer.

JABBERWOCKY
Lewis Carroll
(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872...sometimes referred to as "Alice in Wonderland")

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
  And the mome raths outgrabe.


"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"

Yes, frumious, indeed!

One of my favourite poems!

There is a very good German translation which goes as follows (just the part Ray quoted):

Verdaustig war's, und glasse Wieben
rotterten gorkicht im Gemank.
Gar elump war der Pluckerwank,
und die gabben Schweisel frieben.

"Hab acht vorm Zipferlak, mein Kind!
Sein Maul ist beiß, sein Griff ist bohr.
Vorm Fliegelflagel sieh dich vor,
dem mampfen Schnatterrind."
