mine was simple (but not as interesting as yours). at my first autox (in 97) I was given the number 48. 48 was the easiest number to make from masking tape. I have continued to use it (when I can) at
I ordered four "1's" and two "6's" from Solotime way back. Therefore I can be 1, 6, 9, 11, 16, 19, 61, 91, 116, 119, 161 or 191. The only problem I have is remembering which number I registered under

Erik and I used to run #16 on the Rx7, my birthday is on the 16th. Now we've switched to 11, because it holds significance for both of us, our anniversary is 11/11. I also have a friend who runs 46,

I was born on the 13th, but when I started racing 13 was taken. So 1+3=4 and I began using 4. It also came to be a nod to Group 44, since my car is a Triumph and at the time they were the factory Tri
My first car was a 1970 Saab 96 V4 Sedan. I restored it while in high school, giving me my first wrenching experience. When I started racing, we ran my stepdad's 1968 Saab Sonett V4, which is uncommo
I ran as '318' because I drove a BMW 318ti; some events reserve three digit numbers for two driver cars, so now I'm '3' or '8'. I've seen modern Porsche 911 running as '993' and '996'. A local e46 BM
Our local council has unique numbers for each driver regardless of class. Numbers are available from 1 to 999 (no, Rocky, "04" is not a number different from "4"). As you can imagine, single-digit nu
69, for obvious reasons. ;^) Then some female friends told me I should run 68 (you do me and I owe you one) or 77 (you get "8" more). (That, and I can then run 6, 9, 66, 69, 96 & 99 with the same two

In solo you are correct. 04 would just be the first of a two-driver pair, the second driver (in SCCA) being 104. But in road racing it is a separate number from 4. In fact, the reason I had to run 04

I have seen this in road-racing and I don't know why it does not drive the T&S folks crazy. We had folks hereabouts who ran goofy numbers like "00", but that all went out the window when computerize

I picked #65 because my first car is (yes, I still have it) a '65 Mustang. It's always been a good number for me. That said, when I started, I ordered two 6's, two 5's, and four 1's from Solotime, th
