About as much as those that picked the day of the month they were born....I don't have enough grey matter to waste it things like car numbers.

Well, that's just not true. Kevin was 01, Brandon 02, so naturally that left you 03.

No shame in that Mo

Except the order did not work that way. Brandon got his first and ran 01. I got mine second and chose 03.

Have you kept the same number when you changed cars, or have you changed with each car? If you are changing with each car, you will run out of numbers soon.

How is that new car by the way?

LOL - new car is going to be 312 - old one was 323. I've still got plenty of numbers to go through!

So far so good. Waiting for CMP list to refresh and see if it's worth coming down for it.

My number is kinda self explanatory.

It is not a permanent number, but I have been running this number since 1984 without any complaint

One of the autocross clubs that I competed in, assigned 56 to me for the 1987 season. It has been my number ever since.

[QUOTE=bags142;1579693030]I only do hpde's.. and I am lazy and cheap.. so I use tape every time.. so I try to get 1, 11, 111, 7, 77, 777, 17, 71, 117, 171

Cause it's easy to make with tape [/QUOTE

Same logic behind my ##11 easiest to make out of blue tape, literally. It just stuck.
