My first D4 stk number was part of my NHRA membership number. I let it expire once and got a new stk # but when I renewed my #'s last year they only renewed my S/C and S/P number and I didn't notice the stk number had been dropped. I haven't raced stock since 1989 so it's not a big deal other than for some reason we get attached to our competition number for some strange reason. My number for the dragster belonged to the origional owner of the dragster (4646) in which he never completed or raced. He passed at the age of 44 and his wife gave me a price on it that was way to low but she wanted to see one of his friends get it. She had turned down more money for the dragster than she ask me to give her for it. Because his number hadn't expired yet I had to have a copy of his death certificate and a letter from the widow in order for NHRA to release that number to me. Sorry for the long post but that is how I became 4646 and I hope that guy that got my old stock number is happy. I sure do miss it for some weird reason.
