Mine is a nickname I got from my old street racing days. Always lived in rural central IL (all farmland) and would travel over an hour to St. Louis to go run the city boys. Plus I traveled all over IL looking for races on the weekends. The city boys nicknamed my car "the plowtown missile" and they called me plowtown for short.

Back in October of 2000 I was originally "Old School" but Craig who in the DC area had a boat called Old School, so I suggested he take that name I went my father's Magnum's name "Hairy Canary" then he sold it, and then came the race horse Smarty Jones owned by the Chapmans in the Philly metro are where I live, I am Stephen R. Jones, a lawyer, not the smartest, but not an idiot. Smarty Jones won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, ... great race horse.

My friends started calling me "Smarty" hence Stephen "Smarty" Jones.....on OSO SMARTY !

I like fast toys ,hence the name fasttoys7619 , fast boats, fast bikes, fast golf carts and fast snowmobiles , currently on my 18th boat , just traded my Scarab sport 302 CC in for a 1988 Fountain 8.8 meter , Usually buy a new sled every year ,make it go fast then sell it for a new project , I think this new boat will be a keeper for awhile,lol
