[Pierre - Team PMR]

i wanted 217 (my b-day) first choice, second choice was 276 (feb 1976, my b-month) but those were taken.  They just gave me 280 and it stuck.  Cant change now...i've had it for 4 years

I am just pulling your chain. This is my second year as an AM. Believe me... I don't even claim to be the third fastest guy out there! Just trying to learn and earn my ranks!

"The LOWEST ODD NUMBER available".

LOL!

That's good.

Numbers are nice for "recognition equity".  Changing numbers keeps everyone confused, and sometimes it's nice to have the same number year after year.

I started with 724, because my teammate had 723, and the other got 725.

I did an AMA endurance race, so that became 224.  We started doing CCS events, and I couldn't get 724, so that became 741.  I wanted a two digit number, so that became 74.  My AMA number was 75 for a couple years.  Then they changed it to 36 for some reason.  I ran a 3 in CCS then because of our run on a series.  Did well in the AMA, 11th overall, and for some stupid reason, I morphed into 78...???  1 in CCS.  Seven the next year in CCS.  AHRMA, I started with 271.  That became 28 after running a 1 again.  

I got 26 in 1996, and I've used that ever since.  AMA keeps me bouncing around with 226, 62, an 262.  At least I've got it down to a limited amount of numbers...LOL!

I don't know what the 26 means, but I do remember Jimmy Adamo using 26.  He was fast, and a good guy.

I kind of looked through racers I admired and chose Freddie Spencer's 19 (reversed #s to avoid being too pretentious  :P ).  I was amazed to get a 2-digit number my first year, so was glad to have it.

The month of the birthdays of me, my son and my step daughter. 157

#174, because 74 was taken and 74 happened to be the last two numbers of my "racing" credit card at that time.

[Super Dave]

So, do you now have more than one "racing credit card".... ;D

Funny to see how many of us see more than just numbers....... 8)
