Here's my guess.....the two lovely long black lines left behind on the road look like fangs. 😂

Not even close gentlemen. No cigars.
Hints. I was using it in the 1950s. It's from a person's name. There is a clue in the question.

I always thought it was to do with Fangio... from your hint i would guess I'm right.

Matt. Well done. It's from Juan-Manuel Fangio, the famous Argentinian Grand Prix racer who still has the record for the highest number of wins per starts.
As kids we used to pronounce his name with a hard g not a soft g.
I think that it is a uniquely Australian word.
