How you got your iow name
 
Just wondering how everyone got their names or nicknames for iow form ? Mine is dirt 330, dirt comes because i love dirt track racing and 330 is my truck number at tri-ax inc. Drive a dump truck everyday.

My name is actually James, and about 5 years ago I started my website http://www.apexonephoto.com, so ever since I have used it for my login names.

I can't seem to remember how I determined that would be my site url, all the good names were taken by then! It's happend quite a few times, when I meet someone, and they say "hey are you're that apexonephoto guy?".

Petey has been my nickname for a long time and I use it on every board I post on. At the races people rarely call me by my real name. It's pretty cool to have a nickname I guess.

Since I started race back in the early 70's I was refered to as Outlaw. Then I started traveling some and from the south and always had a confederate battle flag on the car it became Southern Outlaw. When my son started racing and I retired it became Papa Outlaw. Son took the name and flies the same flag on his car now as was on my last car. My best friend Benjie Mills took the name on his cars as Dixie Desperado, so back then it was Dixie Desperado and The Southern Outlaw...Hell kinda sounds like a band..LOL

I'm neither wild nor a man, but my son's favorite driver (ok, mine too) is Daron Clayton (92) and he nicknamed him the Wildman as he is always exciting to watch.

I can help. :2:

I was either named after a hook nosed comedian or an old Irish ballad. And my dad's name was James Lee Burton. I held onto the last two names.

First non wing race I attended was the old NCRA vs USAC races in Oklahoma City back in the 80's. Saw big time names both in USAC and NCRA racing the big 1/2 mile. Got some autographs that would make some go wow. I was hooked since then. To me the only type of car is a non wing car. Being in a wing state it makes me an outcast. Although, we are working on that.

Being born and raised in Okc and a fifth generation Oklahoman, My family did stay. I am a proud Okie and I will have all my cars or helments show that.
