I use 44B. 44 was my Dad's high school basketball number. I added the B after a night where I was one of 3 #44s parked side by side by side at Paragon.

I called the track to register and asked what numbers were left. She said the lowest numbers left were 2 10 & 23. I said 23 it is.

I've always ran 93 because of the year I was born and it just stuck. Changed it to 93B when I moved up to mini sprints to avoid confusion and to correspond with my last name. Has a nice ring to it now though I think

My grandfather started running the "lightning 2" on his modifieds and super modifieds in the 1950's and 1960's, my dad ran the number 2 (along with 72, my grandpa's alternate number) when racing go-karts in the 1960's and 1970's so when I started running quarter midgets in 1985 I started running the 2 (with and without the lightning bolt) and have run it ever since. Now to honor the memory of my grandfather I run (and always will) the "lightning 2" exactly the way he did on his cars maintaining the original font and colors.

Story has it Michigan Hall of Famer Wayne Landon got his number by starting out as number 88. Well it was about the same Olds came out w/ the 88. So there was a lot of 88 out there. Wayne got out the paint & made it a 83, if you ever get a chance to meet Wayne he usually has his wife nearby. Neat couple
