    I checked them out, doesn't look like any are available unless some people are quitting that I don't know about.
    I think you need to be the first in line with the most points. BUT there's a bunch of 2 digit #s out there that I rarely see race.

    Re: ? 2 Digits???

    I just went through the 2010 list of numbers & made a spreadsheet.
    I thought there'd be more that weren't taken, but every 2 digit number had a name with it.

    82 Bergeron
    87 Muller

    I have the list if you think it's worth posting.

    EVERY 2 digit number? Geez, you gotta be kiddin me...

    Nah, don't worry bout posting the spreadsheet. The license application lets you list three choices... I'll just put those two down & then my current. If one of those guys doesn't renew then I'm good to go.

    I read somewhere on here that someone isn't renewing.

    Boxmonkey I don't think you can get a 2 digit your first year as an expert.

    Really didn't take much effort.
    I made a deal with myself though - once I get consistently into the teens, then I try for double digits.

    Any class top 3 expert deserves a 2 digit plate IMO.

    Re: ? 2 Digits???

    Is it me or did the two digit thing kinda lose its prestige? I've seen a number of first time experts get them. It should be limited to top expert points leaders from the previous year.

    Yeah, it may have lost a little of its coolness factor

    I voted keep 929, I like 3 digit numbers personally. Also I heard Donovan got kicked out or some crap so isn't #13 open?

    Two years of 0 races and you forfeit your two digit number. You can put down a pick for a number you think is available but you're better off writing 'any two digit' as your second pick, and your original number as your third. You'll have a better chance at getting one. Unless some asshole calls Don somewhere during the 4 months it takes him to assign your number, though he'll cash your check within a day of getting it.

    Re: ? 2 Digits???

    There seems to be a big push to F myself. Who would have thought?

    There a couple of racers that did not race this year. I've got a number in mind and it is not 13. Radu hit it on the head.

    At first I thought the 2 digits were only offered to any previous top 3 champions. Guess I was wrong. Yes that have been a few first time full season experts with a 2 digit number.



    Yea, I kind of feel it is all tainted now as well but still cool.

    I'm too cheap to go 2 digit. Unless I could just peel one of mine off.
