Racing Car Numbers
don't they have to earn their #s ?... first place gets #1 for the next year...
Here's my idea:
We number our cars like the NHRA does. For example, the first number would be your division number, and then there would be two or three numbers after it that would be random. For example, I live in Oregon, which is in NHRA division 6. So the first number would have to be 6, then the other two or three numbers could be whatever I wanted. I would choose 44. Therefor, my number would end up being 644. How about that for a number system?
HELPED A BUDDY CHANGE THE GASTANK ON HIS MODEL A, TO MARK THE WIRING HE BROKE OUT A CARD OF STICK ON #S,
HIS CARD HAD A WHOLE STRIP OF THE SAME #s FOR EACH #... SO YOU CAN RUN THE SAME # FOR QUITE A FEW SERIES...
YOU MIGHT GET THEM AT AN ELECTRICAL PARTS STORE...LOWES, HOME DEPOT ?
IMO the racers that you send in are racecars no matter what kind of car it is. No matter which sanctioning body, racecars have numbers. That's how the unknowing (and possible the race host) can tell them apart from each other. A 'control number' is the same thing.
I personally like the number idea. When looking over results it's much easier to see who raced who and how everyone did. You no longer have to go look back at the pics or spreadsheet. It might take a few races to remember who's number is who's. But it's the same with MotoGP, NASCAR, etc.
