Why Black Halo Racing?
I'm curious. Of all the names to pick for a race shop, why "Black Halo Racing"? I went to the BHR website and cruised the "About" section talking about how great Charles is and the tragic thermite incident that left him bald, but no info on Black Halos. What is the significance of "Black Halos" in racing? Tires? Seems too obvious. Carbon buildup around exhaust tips from Jeff's 11.5:1 tunes? Doubtful. C'mon, guys, give it up, what's the origin of the name we all know an love?

if we told you, we'd have to kill you...
|
It's kind of a funny story...
|
and it goes likes this..... (?)
|
thermite ftw.
btw you can buy aluminum star dust(~10micron) and magnesium ribbon on eBay and have it shipped to your door!! (and iron oxide in fine powder as well if you aren't ingenuitive enough to make it on your own) |
Hows this for a guess ? :
angels have white halos and black is the opposite of white ............... |
Well.. who would the black halo be? Jeff?
Mu ha ha.................... |

BHR stands for;
1) Butchers, Hacks, and Retards. 2) Ripping people off by never fulfilling our orders. 3) Getting paid for doing nothing. 4) E-thuggery, so as to feel tougher than we really are. 5) Having the biggest e-penises. 6) Failing to respond to the concerns of others. 7) Never returning calls/e-mails. 8) Extremely high prices. 9) Horrible product design (see #3). 10) Being bald. 11) Being fat. 12) Being old. 13) Being curmudgeonly. 14) Being all of the above. 15) Knowing nothing about the RX-8. Believe it or not I'm actually intrigued to know how Black Halo Racing came to be. :evil_laug |
I find it veeeery interesting that the distance between Black Halo Racing and Area 51 is approximately 422 mi, or about two tanks of gas in the average RX8. I believe this to be more than sheer coincidence.

Best name for a company, hands down.
|
I think "Goodie Ring" would be the better name.
|
I actually remember the real way the Black Halo name came to be. CHR told me once.
