Question What numbers are your Rondels or Meatballs?

What numbers did you choose for your Rondels, Meatballs and why?

I saw a picture of CSX 2301 and it had 11 on it and my car had a wider than usual roll bar as well.
My number plate ended in 11
I thought 11 would go with the team stripe across the hood and guards.
Snake eyes cause err never mind.
Apart from that it was a fairly impulsive spur of the moment sort of decision.
cheers

I got static cling meatballs in number 66 for two reasons. First, my car is a replica of a 1966 model. And second, I can run as # 99 if someone else has already registered for an event as # 66.

Mine is 02 because the car serial number is EXP002.

53. My birth year.

After I placed the order, I realized its the same number used on Herbie the Love Bug. Oh well.

I'm using the #8 because, before I had any #s in the rondells, a friend of mine told me that the car looked like an 8 ball. To be honest that hadn't even crossed my mind but it also sounded perfect, so that's what I went with. When I was trying to get the 8 all centered in the nose/hood I had stopped for a sec to open a beer and the number was laid on the car at a slight angle that just looked right to me. So that's what I went with, I think it sort of evokes a rolling 8-ball.

14 is my magic number. Took me 14 years from start to completion of my Cobra. Three kids, two moves and doing most every thing myself makes the years fly! Happy owner now for 20 yrs
