What's behind your number?

[Jesse Williams]

I run 704 because I'm a Veteran and its the numeric for Independence Day and my actual number in all sports growing up was 11. Obviously 11 would be pretty hard to get and I would look to have it for a different reason than why I really chose it. (No knock on who has it or the man who immortalized it). But, if you add 7+0+4=11. Cool!

Connie Brothers She picked the numbers for Craig, myself, and your beloved John; 49, 50, and 51. As a poor high school kid who would haul his bike to the track in a crappy $500 pick up that could only manage 55mph and would burn a quart of oil for every tank of gas, corner work on saturday for entry fee on sunday, and live on one freebird monster burrito, it meant the world that she looked after me!
She would call me before the races to make sure I was coming, she would sponsor me for extra races, and would introduce me to people that could help me develop my skills. Without her I wouldn't have accomplished anything in racing.
So, I run that number as a reminder that what's behind the number is not the rider, but the loving sacrifices of friends that put you there.

These are way more interesting than my reason...when I started racing with CCS in '03, a buddy of mine in town who was racing as well had already chosen #57. Since we would be traveling together, I figured it would be best for us to have the same set of numbers if we needed them at the track, so I chose #75. It kind of stuck with me after that, and I've always kinda liked it.
After the 6 year break from racing, coming back and joining CMRA, I ran 375 as a novice, then I got lucky and 75 became available when I moved to expert, and I was able to get it. We also run 75 in endurance, for ease of keeping a backup bikes and number changes.
If the number 410 ever became available, we'd no doubt be moving Becka's bike back to that number.

I'm still waiting on the "420's" peoples reason.

Wait....

What?

Just curious that's all.

It isn't what you think - my favorite beer: 420 IPA made by Sweetwater in Atlanta.

185, because Sean Brown got me into this whole racing thing and he's 184, thought i'd be neat to see 184 then 185 pitted next to each other. Now i'm kinda regretting it, I seem to have acquired more junk, er, I mean "spare parts" than I could have imagined. And they aren't even mine, lol.

[Brian Prescott]

709, because i did my first trackday in july 2009.

[Hector Barreto]

I picked 927 because that was my little boys birthday.
