It's all coming back to me..wait...wait...see, there was this chick and she used to love sticking Red pep.....oh shit thats not it. There was a dude on TV who was some marketing whiz and the interviewer asked him what the best company name was. He said"Red Pepper". Something about it being tangible blah blah whatever. I thought it sounded cool, so I stole it. Kind of a shitty story, eh? anyway, It was all my doing. Tom is the F'n genius behind this whole webpage, I just tune cars and weld. Oh yeah, I'm a really good driver too!(pats self on back) Anyway, Tom's a champ with this computer stuff and we all owe him our kidney's(or Koni's) for setting up this awesome forum. Cheers Tom for a job well done.

I asked about this a couple of years ago, but nobody gave me an answer. Where does "Red Pepper Racing" come from? What does it mean? I was wearing an RPR shirt at our last Solo event, and someone asked me what it meant. I felt kinda stupid for not knowing.
Anyone?

Masta stole it from a news program where the analyst was asked what would the best name for a company be. THe analyst replied "red pepper ......." Masta liked it so he took it.

I remember the "first time" I joined (wayy back then like 2002-2003), I stumbled upon the site on just plain browsing. When I entered the site it had AIRPLANES all over (courtesy of nivek lol) and I was like "how the hell do all these airplanes have anything to do with crx's? AND what the hell does "red peppers" have to do with ANYTHING??" I was a bit confused at first asking "Am I in the right place? maybe the site name was sold to an aviation company?" I think I posted only one or NO times...
I forgot my name password and recently rejoined ,NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE... and YES the "redpepperracing" name is VERY catchy and I get asked about it ALL the time when I bring my car out with the decals..
Most ask "Is it redpepperracing cause your car is RED and it is HOT??" LOL..
