02/01/10 Trivia Question Brought to You By:
We asked you to Come up with five (5) examples of "3 Digit #'s" (all numbers... not combination of letters and numbers)... By unique we mean a 3 digit # that only one driver drove... Here's a few examples:
The examples above work because they are unique... meaning only one driver drove them (in most cases...) Examples that would not work would be #125, #301, #707, etc... since many driver's drove those particular #'s throughout the years...
This turned out to be pretty interesting... We received over 250 different driver's, but we eliminated any names that we knew shared the same number as any other driver's (for example, someone submitted Jim Lawrence in the #123, but we know that Bill Humpries also drove a #123 white Pinto... and Bill Beasley was listed for #421, but we remember John Malcomb also driving a #421...)
Remember, the idea was to come up with driver's who drove a specific # car that nobody else drove... The list below is good, but I'll bet there's a bunch on there that need to be removed too (because other's share the same #) For example, Fred Dmuchowski is listed with the #303, but I think John Kmuyati also drove a #303 early in his career, and if so, the #303 comes off the board.)
I'll also bet that there are probably others that need to be added... Check it out:
Update: We received some "duplicate examples" from Scott Pacich, so a few more have been removed from the list. Thanks for the info Scott.
Update: We received a few more duplicate examples from John Mc, so we removed a few more. John also added #825, Bucky Barker.

Answer to Our 01/10/09 Trivia Question Brought to You By:
We Asked, "Who's in the #4T3?"
At first glance, you might have thought that this is Tom Hager, but take a closer look - it's not! Actually, we got a little tricky and Photoshoped the driver's name off the roof...
Answer: Tom Soloe
We were glad to hear from Tom Soloe who emailed us with the following: "It was me ........ Tom Soloe.... It broke my tailbone when I came back to Earth!".... He went on to tell us that, "It was Tom Hager's car which he ran the year before and either won the Nazareth Modified Championship or came in second. I worked with Tom on his crew for about three years and bought the car from him with his old small block ford motor that he ran at Flemington in his early sportsman years. Total cost of the complete car ..... $1500. I will send some pictures of the car with all four wheels on the ground and also some pictures of the sprint car I drove later for Al Youtz of Easton. Thanks again for the memories. I had people contact me that I haven't talked to in a long that saw the picture. Also the worst part about hitting the first turn wall at Nazareth was that it was a Saturday warmup session, but I was back the following week with a nice soft seat pad!!!"
Thanks for the info Tom -
