Race Numbers
My number 57 is based on my kids birth years 05, 07. It help me get my kids interested in racing. I used the number first in sim-racing.
What a fantastic idea! I was hoping to see something like this.
Gravity Throttle Racing - #38 and #43
#38 is the number of Mack Strong. He has the longest tenure of any Seattle Seahawks football player (fullback, 15 years, 1993-2008). Mack is a good friend, and anyone with a name like "Mack Strong" is born to play in the NFL.
#43 because I'm a Petty fan. I see dr_dodge has the same number. I'm the newbie I'll use #43 sparingly, or when he and I aren't in the same tourny.

- If you look at my Are You Truckin' and Are You Truckin' 2 event list, you'll find plenty of Teams and Numbers to reference. — GravityThrottleRacing

- You know Mack Strong?! He is one of my all time favorite Seahawks! Pretty cool. — GrumpyCloud
- I loved mack Strong! I lived In Seattle when he played, he was seriously great!! — G_ForceRacing
I have always worn #13 in sports...but that number was already taken in the diecast racing world. (Cheers to the DarqArts!) #22 is my mom's lucky number, so I went with that and never looked back. Sometimes someone else beats me to 22, so I get to come up with fun alternatives. My daughter always wants to be #999, but on the top of a car, this can often look like 666.
- I had also the 13… for years. Then the 22 ;) and now adays i think… i don‘t care anymore…. ;) — Schottys_diecast
Cyrano Buckminster/Spazzed & Spurious Racing - #B
(On an old show I used to watch, the main character was trying to help a really dumb classmate with an upcoming math test. He asked a simple sample math question and the guy struggled to answer, "Eight? Three? B?" - I thought it was funny then and still do by golly!)
We go with 13 because to hell with superstitions :) and most people seem to stay away from it
I usually go with 55 in memory of my dad(born in 1955) or 13 or 20 as 1320 is my initials in numeric form
- 1320 is also how many feet there are in a quarter mile. — SpyDude
- Interesting — GT_Diecast
- @spydude yes it is lpl — MadMike
I love this! I always loved the number 57 on race cars since childhood, I always thought it looked very cool (I am into typography!), but Karmic had it locked in. So I thought the 2 was close to a reverse 5, and looks cool too... 27.
Now my favorite race number, thanks to this league and all of you.
...and thank you, Spirit of 64, for returning my Sierra accidentally sent to you by a track, returned on your own dime. Class act.
I always root for your cars!.
- Thanks for the kind words! I always root for your entries as well! When I got your Sierra, I did admire it for a few minutes, cos that was some killer decal/paint work! — Spirit_Of_64
- Thank you... having taken graphic arts & knowing Photoshop is a great asset!! I hope t oget more free time before long, and open a custom decal shop..... — G_ForceRacing
777. I have always been drawn to this number. I learned that my Numerology three numbers are 7 7 7. The person that did my number reading said that it is the sign of a 5th dimensionl being. Hahaha!!! Is that why I like the character with the "Sky Net" gift for the MEN IN BLACK!!!
- Well, of course you would be drawn to this number. If you’re sitting at a slot machine, those are the numbers you want to see come up! — SpyDude
- If I ever went to a Casino... !! Hahaha!! — Garden_Super_Speedway_Park
