One # I'm curious about.4406.Does anyone have it and is it a Mopar guy with a 440 six pack?
Let it roll...................................

4406, should be Teuton's number..... SHOULD be.

I can't think of anyone more Mopar ingrained in D4 than Teuton.

1302 came from when I raced a Ford, had a 302 motor. Just kept it. I had #18 in IHRA for two years, in the good old days.

Dion Hildebrandt · 03-18-2010, 11:05 PM

I didnt choose my number ,but it is the same upside down or right side up ......#6009

Bernie Cunningham · 03-18-2010, 11:10 PM

Always liked Don Littles # 624

Gary Smith · 03-18-2010, 11:11 PM

Was the easiest number Betty Holt could give me on the printout. BTW I'm positive Mr. Teuton was offered 4406, but passed it up because it may decode his actual age (Sorry Jeff....this one was wide open

)

I've been waiting for this thread. Ed, I had your number (1945) before you did. And for the same reason. This would have been about 1975, before they started using the geographic division number as the first digit in the competition #. Maybe we were separated at birth? Mom always said I was the good lookin' one. I also worked for a N.G. utility. And, like you, Soc.Sec. just doesn't quite cover the cost of racing. Thus, no comp # currently. Paradoxically, I'm so dad-gum wealthy, the CS decision makers at the VA denied my application.

#4406 belongs to Jim Hale for both stock and super stock. He runs it on an awesome G/SA '67 Barracuda in stock - I'm pretty sure it's a 383 car. He used to use S/S# 4406 on his SS/AH Hemi Barracuda until he traded it for a '64 Plymouth S/S, also a Hemi I believe.

Neither are 440-6 paks, but at least they're still in the "family"!

Sometimes I wonder how I ever got this far in life.Jim Hale was pitted at the end of the aisle where we were down at Gainesville.I missed it. Who has #666?1313?7777?
I bet Nitro Joe could list the quirky #s.

In an ironey I don't mind talking about I wound up with Stock, SS and ET # 1188. At the very center of the Bible is Psalm 118 verse 8. "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man".
