Where did you get that name..

How you get that nick??

As you know, I like to make up nicknames for the drivers, some take them as if I have changed their name by deedpoll, hi Saint, others hate it, hi Jimbob, but why did I choose the tag that I did. Well here is where you find out....


3 Shaun Twist AKA Saint
Races in the ministox class.

Not a Saintly driver

OK this is an easy one to get us started. Shauns initials are S.T. which is short for Street or Saint. I choose Saint, I mean who has ever heard of anyone called Street??.


93 Sam Twist AKA Little Saint
Races in the ministox class.

Less of a Saintly driver

Younger bro to Saint. Has the same initails, but is smaller, and younger, hence Little. That said it would be funny if Sam grows up to be bigger than Shaun and the Little Saint would be larger than Saint.. You following this?


101 James Hayhurst AKA Jimbob
Races in the ministox class.

Temper temper

This lad has had a few nicknames in the past, but I was told that he hates being called Jimbob. The only other person to call it him is his grandad, I'm old so I thought I could use it too


161 Nick Ilse-Herdman AKA Nick Hyphenated
Races in the ministox class.

Too long

Nick is an up and coming driver, who gets quite a few mentions in reports for either doing quite well, or it all going Pete Tong. So to save me the hastle of typing a double-barrelled name all the time, I renamed him Mr Hyphenated.


811 Richard Parker AKA 'Yus M'Lady' Parker
Races in the ministox class.

Not a pink car though

This is a Thunderbirds reference, Parker was/is the bulter/driver to Lapy Penelope. Though in the TV show and movie, he drives a very pink car.


343 Lee Wrennall AKA Smiler Wrennall
Raced in the ministox class.

Cheer up

Lee is a great driver, winning almost every ministox race in the 2003 season. So he spent a great deal of time on the back of the pace car, but always looked glum. Therefore there is only one name I can call him.. Smiler Wrennall!


232 Josh Quinlan AKA Stuntman
Races in the ministox class.

Action a plenty

Josh has a very kewl name, you could imagine a Grand Prix driver called Josh Quinlan, but I had to change it as he had a spate of a few amazing crashes, all of which he walked away from. I had just bought the game Stuntman, and thought, now theres a name. Josh must like it as he now calls himself Stunty in the chatroom!


400 Daniel Potts AKA Stalker
Races in the junior banger class.

This is the only thing he does that I have not done!

Daniel Potts and I have had many a run in in the 2003 season, off the track, mainly because he stole ideas and photos from this very site, for his site, then expected me to put a link to it! Yer gotta laff, except I didn't! Anyway, he has calmed down a bit now, but has still taken my guestbook and the questions I asked with him. But wait... Worse is to come! The git even shares the SAME birthday as my good self... Now as I had it first, like all the ideas taken from my site, I can't help but think he is stalking me! So his nickname from NOW ON is Stalker, he even follows me around on the infield on race days, Im scared!! Hellllp...


40 Jonathan Croad AKA Test Pilot
Races in the ministox class.

going up

A recent designation of a nick name, when Jonathan decided to launch his car vertically and land heavily without damaging the roof.. Awesome stuff. So with his obvious wish to be the next Chuck Yeager I name him Test pilot, bless him and all who fly with him.


439 Jay Kellett AKA Rodder Kellett
Raced in the Super Banger class.

We rod rod rod rod rod rod rod rod rod the whole day through

A super Super Banger driver, but nick name given to this ADULT, cause of his Banger tactics, that of not hitting a single other car and racing to win. Rodders in Super Bangers are great, rodders in Bangers are frowned upon, so Rodder Kellett was born. That said more recently he became aggressive in the bangers, but too late to loose the nickname.


944 Tam Cavanagh AKA Cavanagh QC
Races in the Super Banger class.

mmmmm

A victim of his own name. The only Cavanagh I know is the one off the telly, so Cavanagh QC was an obvious choice of name. But shock horror!! His ten year old daughter is racing in Jnr Bangers next season (2004) and her name already is Cavanagh the Jnr Barrister, then again :)


Still loads more to come :)
DISCLAIMER: The nicknames are not meant in mallace, excepts stalkers, though some have/do take offense. So if I give you a nickname, it means you have been noticed, I would worry more if I didn't have a nickname. Oh and any resemblance to anyone living or dead, is purely accidental, unless otherwise stated...
