My name came from my first hobby-flying radio control airplanes. Usually in the 35% to 40% sized aerobatic versions. When 3D style flying became the rage in the RC community some 15 years ago, I learned how to fly 3D. My favorite maneuver was the torque roll. So, my flying buddies called me torquerolljoe!!! In every forum that I am a member of, i use that name.

Mine is because I race dirttrack cars and my number is 7. I just added the 0 cause it looked better lol

my ole man used to race stock cars, (dirt/clay oval track, small town hillbilly type stuff..) his number was 70. lol
dnt know why.. just what he picked for some reason..

I dunno.. it was similar to 07 just thought id mention it..

old sam.. hehe

(the car had yosemite sam form loony toones painted onto the hood and trunk.. guns blazing at ya on the hood, n his drawers dropped mooning ya on the trunk.. :D)

then he rolled rolled it violently off number 1 turn.. ended up using a buick skylark to re-skin it.. the rear bumper made that thing invincible.. powder puff my aunt got rear ended, litteraly sheard off from the middle of the rad to the drivers front door post of the car that hit her.. tire, fender, bumper, engine parts.. all of it.. hehe

the re-arranged the letter Buick to say Cubic.. lol.. just for the heck of it.. haha

it had words welded into it under the hood on 2 spots where the cage connected "OH sh!t" and "HOLD ON!" haha

i miss ole sam.. lol

just guessin you race the same kinda dirt oval.. its the only kind i know, aside from a bit of sprint car stuff.. lol

My name came from a car I had about 10 years ago. It was a beretta gtz with a ramair hood I built for it. Friends started calling it the ramairgtz so ever since then that's been my screen name on all the forums. Here's a pic of the car it died in 07

And The Award For Most Creative Name Goes Too...

GoKart Mozart. Maybe not the most creative, but I'm jealous I couldn't use that one. For those not aware, there was a song written by Bruce Springsteen but made famous by Manfred Mann's Earth Band called Blinded By The Light, containing the lyric,

"And Gokart Mozart was checking out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside..."

Great handle.

I've been in Mustangs for years... collected hundreds of diecast until I could afford the insurance and cost of a real one.

I got personalized license plates that say "FULSCALE" because it was my first full sized Mustang. Pretty much stuck ever since...

I don't have an actual story behind my nickname but I just want to join in the thread. This nick came to me may be 5-6 years ago when I just wanted something different that will be unique. I just came with some variantions of a word similar to that nickname and I chose that one. I have been asked numerous times what does it mean but it actually doesn't mean anything but I like it.
