I am always #47a........If you add a letter to the end of your number then more than likely it will never be taken by somebody else. I have been 47a at tracks all over and never had a problem!!!
i once called the AMA to get a permenant number, and they would not give me one because the said they do not recognize atv dragracing as a organized sport..............i cancelled my membership soon after.

my experience to the tracks Ive been to or know,,sand rat drags,bfd,grain valley,and others you pick your number while your there,,,I guess if you want to make sure you get your number get there early and be one of the first to sign up is all I can prob tell ya LOL
We pick our own, but stay away from well known numbers ( 1, 7, 21 and of course 69 ). I use to run 217. It's real easy to use electrical tape and throw an X (217X) on the back of your number if needed.

At Atoka they have a list of numbers that is used by all of the people that have ever been there and you just need to pick a number that is not on the list. Mine is 325 cause I got married on march 25th and it helps me remember my anniversary. My number has kept me out of the doghouse more than once.

I didn't even read who posted this...and I"m like...Wait a minute, my bud Roger uses that number at our tracks.
Then I looked.... It was my duh moment for the day....
First time I raced at my "home" track I picked 13....from the race program they put my name associated with that number. So, I use it now... Nice to get your name and number on the slips.
They randomly picked a number for my bike at PS in April....187.
It's hit or miss...
I was given a number by my fellow racers back in the day... I would head to the bar after a day of racing and at the time i drank alloooottttt of 151 rum... Well thats my number.. Just pick one and if you get to a tarack and you find someone that has the same. tell him you have to race for the number. Loser wheres the X...
