Help with a pun on a fanfic

[vale.maio2 5]

Hi everypony,

I'm currently translating a fanfic from Italian to English (with permission given, obviously), but I'm stuck trying to create a pun.

Let me explain better:

Rainbow Dash is racing on a pegasi speedway. This track has a turn very hard to take, and unexperienced pegasi would take that turn too fast, leading them to lose control and hit the guardrail so hard that they would pass out.

I would like to create a pun between "going K.O." or something related, and the name of a turn taken from a real life speedway (the more famous the turn is, the better the pun would be).

Initially I thought about the "Corkscrew" turn at Laguna Seca, CA, thus I called it "Knockscrew". I thought it was clever and funny until my co-translator (which is from the U.S.), told me that that name could be misinterpreted, since "Knock up" and "To screw" both have a dirty meaning in US english slang (those meanings are explicit and highly NSFW, so I won't explain them here). I would had never thought such thing reading that name, but I trust him and I want to avoid every possible innuendo.

My question is: would you please help me to build such pun?

Thank you very much!

How about instead of the 'Parabolica' turn on the Monza course, you could call it the 'Ponybolica'? Not exactly a collision-related pun, but a pun nonetheless. Also, as a person whose first language is English, I didn't jump to dirty conclusions for your original pun idea, and frankly, I doubt anyone reading the RP would either. If it were me doing the translation, I'd go with 'Knockscrew', since I do like that name, but its totally your prerogative.

Honestly, I'm surprised that you know the Autodromo di Monza (F1 fan?). Anyway, thank you for your suggestion, but I don't think it could work, since in the story it is also explained the reason for that name. For clarity sake, let me copy/paste that part:

 

It was the last lap of the Sky Race, and the pegasi were going to face the Knockscrew again, right after the long straightaway. Many rookies lose lift from their wings trying to close that turn, after coming too fast from the straight: when it happens, they would knock themselves out, leaving them unconscious for several hours; hence the name of that turn. But it wouldn't be a problem for Rainbow Dash.

 

 

I know, maybe not everyone would get the innuendo, but I'm too paranoic to leave a chance.

Its not really a famous turn or a turn at all really, but if you a phrase or pun for a pegasus getting KO'ed I'd suggest 'wingdinger'

From "ding", like to hit something, right? Yeah, maybe it could work, but I really would like a pun about a real turn. Or, if it's too hard to find one, maybe there could be used the name of a racing speedway. Thoughts?

If you can find a good pun off an existing turn or track that would probably work better. I don't know much about racing so I just created my own pun.

I wish I could help, but honestly I am horrible with puns xD I tried and failed many times in my fanfics and I tend to leave the pun making to my friend Jaime xD
