Re: How you got your iow name
Name is Marv Fish and I was born, raised, and likely will die in LawrenceBurg. Yeah, I know it's kinda lame but I felt pressured to come up with something so I could get on IOW. :22:

Cap'n Crunch cereal made it's first apperance on supermarket shelves in the 60's while I was in high school. Since my last name sounded somewhat like the Capatin's trusty mate Seadog, all of my classmates just started calling me that. It stuck with me for 45+ years now.

Re: How you got your iow name
Well, I turn wrenches on my my brothers superstock at LPS just about every Saturday. So I thought the name was fitting. lol He even put my IOW handle on the sail panel this year. I got a pretty good laugh out of that when I first saw the car this year after it had been lettered.

Re: How you got your iow name
Mine is short for open wheel mind since that is the only kind of cars I ever raced and the only kind of races I now attend.

Re: How you got your iow name
Well, I had a business like mowerman, so that was out, in my karting day's everyone called me 2-stroke, and some still do, but it was kinda hard to explain, so I just picked my Mothers maiden name! Bob:5:

Re: How you got your iow name
Live in Illinois, fan of sprints. Simple as that.:) The "land of Abra Lincolnham" part comes from one of my kids coming home from preschool and telling me about learning about an old president from Illinois named Abra Lincolnham. :2:

Re: How you got your iow name
Our philosophy has always been "Team" first, then driver. Therefore its "TeamCGR"... I think everyone knows what the CGR stands for..:6:

Re: How you got your iow name
I enjoy open wheel racing and my name is Rob, simple. This makes me think of a joke I like with names, I believe it applies here.
A woman arrived at a party. She spotted an attractive man standing alone. She approached him, "Hello. My name is Carmen." "That's a beautiful name," he replied. "Is it a family name?" "No," she replied. As a matter of fact I gave it to myself. It represents the things that I enjoy the most - cars and men. Therefore I chose "Carmen". "What's your name?" she asked. He answered "B.J. Titsengolf." I know it should say something like Titsenracin but I left it original...:3::31: |
Re: How you got your iow name

Real fun job let me tell you.:19: One of the crew members hung that name on me so here it is.:2: Also sounds a lot better than what my mother used to call me.:18::14::5: |
Re: How you got your iow name
Myself and TJ from TJSlideways.com have been friends for quite a long time, and when we brought our micro sprints to Hartford one night to put them on display, we were standing around talking, and said "is that color school bus yellow?". It actually was, and he said it then. The saying still makes me laugh, "It may be cool to sit in the back, but this bus is going to the front."
Didn't happen all that much, but I won a few races. lol |
Re: How you got your iow name
Named after Grandpa. A far better man than I'll ever be. I miss him.:22:

When I first started going to dirt track races, in terre haute growing up, I met this guy Brent Goodnight (brenttfunk) and his group of friends. I saw these guys everytime they came to terre haute so they started calling me Terre Haute Rob. This went on for several years until they got lazy and started calling me TH Rob. Then someone realized that spelled THROB, and there you have it. It interesting how nick-names start...

Re: How you got your iow name
For me it's, Home Sweet Home. But home is actually 15 miles north east of Boston. Like Dick M. I'm also along the Atlantic coastline, right in the middle of open wheel dirt car country :14:

Re: How you got your iow name
