For those of you that are long time readers you are probably familiar with the nicknames used by this author...
but since complaints are coming in again...
AWfoSho... Alex Wick's nickname is a cheap rip-off of Joe Iannarelli's email address. At one point we called him Pop Rocks for all the fast twitch stuff in his legs, but AWfoSho ended up sticking
El Gigante... The Giant in Espaniol, a fitting nickname for Zach Wick, earned at Valley of the Sun 2006 where he crushed the competition in the U-14 category
TK... doesn't really need an explanation-- Taylor Kuphaldt
Staz... Chris Stastny, I tried to label him KGB for his pention for black hats, dark sunglasses, and Eastern European lineage but he would have none of it
Karcherific... Karch Miller, a cross between terrific and Karch... get it?
Kelbster... AWfoSho christened Kelby Spore with this one
PtotheArker... Parker Childress, taken from some Hip Hop song or something like that, I forget and the best nicknames are the ones that we can't rememberthe origin of
Mechanical... Robby Hartman earned this one after suffer gearing issues in two straight races
Tapinator... Cody Tapley, like TK this one doesn't really need an explanation
Davitamon... David Vuilleumier got stuck with this one because his surname sounds an awful lot like the Euro-Team Silence-Lotto, um I mean Predictor-Lotto, oops I mean Davitamon Lotto
and some of our alumni
Thor... If you've ever seen Blake Anton you will understand this one
Steel Joe... because Joe Iannarelli is tough as nails -or- because when asked about the lack of hair on his chest he may tell you that you can't grow hair on steel
College Boy... Musa Zaid was both a collegiate racer and a junior racer in the same year
Brown Lance... Adeel Ahmad's self annointed nickname, couldn't be more fitting
there may be a few more, but dinner is gonna burn if I don't get it out of the oven... the rest of the kids go by their given name until I can think of something better
