OSS race numbers format is numbers only, unique numbers across all classes, no pre- or postfixes. This is how we started. The rule wasn’t as ruthlessly enforced as it should have been … everybody wanted to be nice and accommodating. And what a mess that created!

Now that's even better than the A,B,C,D,E & F System that was used years ago in the other organizations!

Very cool !!!

It's a good idea, but I hated it when Allweiss came up with it in 2000. We ran A-99 in A Class, and when SVL was created by APBA and made part of the Super Series............someone already had that number. I had to change to 66 to run in SVL.

Mike,

I think the OSS system works a whole lot better. No chance of any duplicate numbers.
I think OPC in APBA may have done the same thing many years ago. When I registered, they assigned me the number 208 I had no choice in picking it.

Announcing Dave Scott the hero of DNEP, the Duplicate Number Eradication Program:

- Changed his number immediately from 1 to 11
- Even sent in a new picture with the 11!

All up on the website!

Thank you, Scott!

And thank you all for picking new numbers!

This will be our best and biggest year ever!

At OSS, you can pick your favorite number. If it's not taken, you will get it. And it will be yours as long as you are a member.

If you want a REAL Lucky Number, choose 888! Can't get luckier than that in Chinese numerology. That's why the Beijing Olypincs will be opened on August 8, 2008!

It's the same thing Tim. It didn't apply to the non-Super Series classes, but the canopied boats all had "non-duped" numbers. That is why I was forced to change my number.

We also thank Wazzup, Wild Ride, AMF, Bad Boys and numerous others for their support of DNEP ! Our numbers are strong, they don't need to be doubled-up ....
