You're on a roll Ed, keep it up!!!

As for my number, the first two numbers match the year of my birth, and the second two the day. To add icing to the cake, the representing division (5) also matches the month of my birth, so how's that for ya???

I originally had the number "5517", which was on my car back in 1981 when I won my first (and only so far) Divisional championship (Street Eliminator). However, when '85 came I chose to start a family and having a car to race was benched from '87 to '92 (I let the number expire and now a Mn. Stocker racer has it). Once I was ready to get back into racing ( around 1992), I could only get that number for Stock Eliminator, and I wanted it for bracket racing also, so I asked for this number, it was available, and now it's mine, all mine!!!
