Fun thread! There are some really neat stories being shared.

I used # 3426 for our Max Wedge nostalgia super stocker, which I also registered at one time for Super Street and Super Stock. I did use it a couple of times for S/ST, and we once had a pipe dream to run our '65 Dodge in S/S with a 426 street wedge. After giving up on the S/S dream, I posted on this board that I would make the number available to any Div. 3 SS/AH driver, for a small fee (lol!). Darrell Marvel offered me a couple of T-shirts and invited me to his bar-b-que at Indy for the SS/AH competitors. That was several years ago, and we have been helping Darrell at the US Nats, and have been friends ever since!

Funny thing is, Darrell's old number was 3516, which we would have used "516" heads on our '65 had we ever built it for S/S...

All it took was a phone call to the Division office to switch the number. If someone has a number you want, you might want to contact the racer - it's easy to switch if they'll give it up.

BTW, NHRA Stock# 3426 belongs to fellow Max Wedge and Nostalgia Super Stock racer Jim Lavallo and his shiny red '64 Plymouth.
