It's been 20 plus years around here for some of us... and I can't remember if we did a Trivia question about cool/unique #'s at some point in the past or not.

I was watching Flo this weekend, and saw a sprint car with the #I1, as in "I" -"won".....  The driver's first name is Ivan, so I guess that's where the "I" came from, but when you put the "I" with a "1", it's a pretty cool #.

Any other #'s out there that you think were somewhat creative/clever?

The Go car Glen Fritzharles drove at Flemington.  Ray Underwood ran a 151 with the number five upside down he ran Middletown back in the late '70s or early '80s. 

street stock at Flemington.  U812

Mataka Brothers 3n1.

Norm Foree 4A

Steve Rogers 4Q. (Say it fast)

Ferrante X-3 was originally the XXX

The "L" car.

I always thought the 7D7 on the car Brett drove for Pete Vaniderstine was an interesting way to say 77.

Tom Hager #76 incorporated the Union 76 ball into the number on his door when sponsored by a truck stop.

The Super Man car at Reading , and the Diamond 3 at Flemington

BFH late model at Grandview, driver was Gerry LaHaise

8TEEN of Leon Harrison. 

r12 ronco amc

Jay Aten's  A10

Rio Brothers R10.

Bob Long, Jr Little L.

Not your "Saturday night racer" but wasn't the Wood Brothers cup car numbered 7 (-11) when they were sponsored by 7-11 and Kyle Petty was the driver.

I was told a long time ago, the 707 actually was 7 owners 7.  True story, I don't know, but some photos the 0 is smaller than the 7's.

My all time favorite- Diamond D Johnny Ditmar.  I was just randomly thinking last night- I believe that one of his cars had a steering wheel from a '59 or '60 Oldamobile which were very unique (goggle it).  Something only a 10 year old would notice!  Johnny ran Flemington and Harmony and maybe Nazareth (I didn't get there much until RSCA stopped running at Harmony).

Not necessarly unique but idistinctive was Carl Van Horn's iconic 71E or 71e depending on the year.  The story is that when Carl first started racing, he chose 71 because there were no 71's at Stroudsburg Speedway.  When he towed in, there were four other 71's: 71A, 71B, 71C, and 71D so his car became 71E and he kept it throughout his career.

Wild1 street stock at Flemington. Wasn't there a dirt era 357 or 327 street stock, also? 

Wild1 was the great Ricky Giannino. Funniest guy in racing.

MR. EYRES- After seeing your post on the unique numbers subject, it dawned on me that you had one yourself, the AVIS # 2 ( as in "AVIS, we're #2, we try harder).   Great way to associate with your sponsor/ business.  Scott Ely

I remember a Falcon bodied limited sportsman at Flemington and Nazareth numbered IOU.

Attached is a photo of Kevin Eyres' #2 pancake modified sponsored by Avis. I can remember saying to my buddies when we went to Wall, "That guy in the 2 car always tries harder".  A reference to Avis' advertising theme at the time.  Always thought the "2" was the right number for a hot rod sponsored Avis. After meeting Kevin, he's No. 1 in my book!  Scott Ely

John the 357 was Mike Corcoran - if you click on the link you will also see another unique number the "Toy " driven by Joe Luzi - http://3widespicturevault.com/BETW_BOARD_pics_vitals/c03.11.06_357_COR_FLM_0081V_1.htm

327 ran Sportsman but I forget the name. 

Les Hare drove a late model at Hagerstown with the #4 written out as FOUR. What really troubled me was that the bastard had a full head of hair. Irony at its best.

Old days in miami down the street from school was the car # 2x4 T- T Pink Special!!  Memories!!

The XL1 and the flaming SSS. 

Amazing thing about sitting in the cars from the 40's to the 70's was "how the fuc*" did they drive these?"  lol. I say that about every one I have sat in. When you sit in one you really appreciate how daring and brave they were.  I guess in thirty years, someone will sit in a car of today and say the same thing.

Some cool late models back in the day. Mike Duval in the Flinstone Flyer. There was another Late Model UFO. also liked Mike McLaughlinn's CaZ8  - http://www.3widespicturevault.com/MEL_STETTLER_PIC&VITALS/P11.08.19_CR8_MCL_SYR_1980_MEL_1.htm

Ward Crozier drove the Circle 5 at Dorney Park.

Wayne Brooks was the UFO.
 The late models back then got on a name/number kick.
Ed Howe campaigned one numbered D1RT that Rodney Combs drove
P1PE Larry Moore drove some
P00L

Ran the u2 that started out as the FU2 til they caught on.

Charlie Voorhees 705.  Upside down it reads "SOL".

I recall a sedan-bodied car from the 1960s with the unique designation "HP" and it was referred to as "the hanky-panky, hokey-pokey HP" - I can't recall the driver's name, I believe it raced in the limited sportsman division.

At Perry Speedway in New York. There was a car that was 3 aces and another car that was 4 aces. They had the ace playing cards on the car.

The Circle K of Karl Pettinger 

Don't forget a couple $ sign cars??

The HP was a regular @ Middletown and was a sportsmen 66/67 ?

Thanks for info, Herb Yonkers.

For me, the original "$" was used by Steady Eddie Flemke and Mike Grbac in his early novice 55 Chevy.     Eddie also used the "Cent" sign on his hot rods.  Did anyone mention Wild Bill Slater's "V-8"?  These hot rods, and their numbers, had personality!  Scott Ely 

The IBM s/360 was a mainframe computer. I started as a computer operator at Dunlop Tire in 1977 and they were using the IBM s/370 computer.

Cookie Hauze's #FIVE

Carl???? in the NINE car maybe the Springs or susquahanna ???

A 1970s asphalt modified that raced at Utica-Rome Speedway was # 5 7/8. Was it a hat size?

If that's a hat size, isn't that pretty small?  Scott Ely
