    Clever, cute, funny, patriotic, etc.. add a lot to the merchandising aspect. Go to obscure, and you end up buying 400 hats & t-shirts for your crew.

        I think it should be "Red & whiteside up" with a red and white paint job.

            Here's some name ideas. I have color schemes too on some, but don't know how to scan and post them. Maybe I'll snail mail them to you Will:

            "Wasp Possum" (or some variation: "Wasp Awesome", "Waspossum", "Twin Wasp Possum", etc.)

            "Jello Yaket" (with a jello sponsor maybe, or just painted like a Yellow Jacket)

            "Full Metal Yaket"

            "Re-Yak-Shun", (or a variation: "ReYaktion", "Opposite ReYakshun", "ReYactionary", "ReYakshunAiry")

            "WhyYaksided?"

            "Yaksidedyet?"

            "WhiteYaksided Will?" (with the White...side..Will part painted a contrasting color or style.

            "Yaktually Yaktive?", (or: "RadioYaktive", "Sexually Yaktive?", or "Taking the Yaktive", etc.)

            I better quit for tonight...

                  I have always been a fan of the YAK, and fell in love with Bob Yancy's R2800 bird. I think the largest drag issue is the airfoil. If someone would build a slick composite wing for the YAK, I bet it would be untouchable!

                  How about "Speed Racer"....

                  Best wished for your new team

                              I suggestd Nadia (or Nadya) because of the Romainian gold medalist Nadia Comaneci (Romainian, nädyä kōmänēch. In the 1976 Olympics, she won six medals–three gold, two silver, and one bronze. She also scored a perfect 10 in two events, a score no one had previously achieved. In the 1980 Olympics, she won two gold and two silver medals. Copied from Yahoo education, a public domain web site). also, Nadia is short for the Romanian word Nadezhda, which Means "Hope". Plus, I personally think it's a beautiful name. Since everyone was giving the back ground on their name suggestion, I thought I'd give a little backgroung as well. Just don't tell my Wife, she's from Italy and would want me to suggest "Franchesca" or "Luca" or "Valentino" or something like that!!
