From 2002 until 2005, the Nippers were called Zippers, the Monarch of The Hill was called the King of The Hill - and - in 2005 - some of the bravera euphemism for crazier...
NOTE:
the speed hump was introduced in 2004! drivers started from the very top of Collingwood Street - above Brougham Street... Curiously enough, they didn't go any faster...

There wasn't a web site for the 2005 derby... so our records are a bit sketchy...
