LAPS OF HONOR Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 My Laps of Honor race team has been signed up for the SEBRING INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY: Double 7 Enduros and was assigned a number three months ago. Now after we have ordered the decal kit and have had it installed on the car for months ChampCar has at the last minute changed our number. WHAT GIVES??? Is this a normal event? How do we get a permanent number??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimS Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I emailed Mike Chisek and he sent me a current list of all numbers already in use. I asked for one to be our permanent number to avoid your current problem. Sorry I know how much those cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Originalsterm Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I had the same issue a couple years ago, definitely email to get a permanent number. Buying number panels twice in the same season was a waste of money that could have been avoided with an email up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Coan-Burningham Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Your number is assigned permanently only for your region. Since you are new, the regions don't get mentioned anymore so you may not realize there are still regions for teams. If you live in the east region and pick a number not used in that region and ask for it permanent it will be yours as long as you sign up for races periodically. It is possible a central division team signed up for this one race before you and have your number for this race. Email Chisek, he may be able to give you a number for this race that you can use by covering up one of your numbers, cover up and put temporary number over it, etc. There are thousands of teams across the country so it is impossible with 999 combinations to have a number for the entire country. So, long story short you may still be able to use what you have after this race, just talk to Chisek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flipped on the Autoclub race from a few weeks ago and a team was entered with my team name. What gives?
