Road Rash - Characters Named After?

[ColecoFan1981]

Hi,

How many of you here know of any information concerning the characters' names in the Road Rash series of bike racing games by Electronic Arts?

For example, in Road Rash 3: Tour de Force (1995), the character of Nina is named after that of Nina Stanley, who was once a graphic artist for Color Dreams (one of several companies whose NES games Nintendo did not approve). Several interviews are available about her, including this link:

(Trivia: Nina's father is none other than the '60s LSD guru A. Owsley "Bear" Stanley III (1935-2011). He had produced albums for the legendary jam/rock band Grateful Dead from 1967 to 1970, and spent the last 15 years of his life as a naturalized Australian citizen, before he died this March in an automobile accident.)
