Once, I lived in Chi
Now Ghetto Racer says I have attained it.
Either way it works.
(Though most Rennlist long timers call me The Big Turtle. Maybe I should change it.)

Like much of Racer X's life, there is much mystery...

My user name = my name. I guess I wasn't too creative with that.

Joe,
Check out Wikipedia. They do a nice entry.
Speed Racer was one of the shows we were allowed to watch on a limited basis. Did you watch the show at all? If so, names like Snake Oiler, the Car Acrobatic Team, the Mammoth car and the incredible GRX car would have sent you into a childhood frenzy. That show did nothing but feed my love for cars and speed.
BTW, I just bought a 1:18 scale model of the Mach 5 for $32 off of ebay.

Nice Mach 5, the saw blades in front are pretty wild.
I did a search and found that write up on Wikipedia last night. I also found a remote controlled Shooting Star car. My mom, a psychologist, thought the show was too violent, which is pretty funny by today’s standards. I still watched it all the time and it also fed my love of cars & racing.

Cool, I didn't know they were out on DVD, I'll have to pick those up. I already bought the Racer X mountain biking jersey.
I guess this is an early head start on an explain your avatar thread.

Quite logical really When the internet forum thing started I had a 911 3.2 Clubsport, after that an '02 C2 and a 968 Clubsport for trackdays, now I have a 993 Clubsport.....sort of makes sense

I though you're that famous Perdue chicken guy from TV (I've been telling people I knowa guy from TV!!) and now you're telling me you're a friggin' turtle farmer!
