Topic: Numbers

Any thoughts about paying a little extra at the end of the year to secure your number for the next year? I've heard they do that in some other forms of racing but didn't know if the topic had been brought up here? Don't even know if that would be possible with all the cars running now might have to break it up into regions.

Nope.  Just pay attention and be fast.  Or, don't like popular numbers.

I don't think Lemons HQ gives a shit what number you want.  It just makes their job harder.

Re: Numbers

Time to start using fractions, I think all the whole numbers are taken.

Fractions are complicated. Negative numbers would be much less confusing.

Irrational numbers would be more appropriate.  I got dibs on pi!

I do wish you could at least contact whoever got the number you wanted so you could negotiate.  No Lemons HQ involvement required!

How about imaginary numbers?  Square root of i!

Re: Numbers

We're currently racing a Nissan, but if we ever change body style, we may want to reserve the infinity symbol.  And don't forget c, for lightspeed.

Hmmm....  square root of the square root of -1.  That hurts my head.

Apparently my name is really "Craigers".  Who knew?
