Glad to be of service man! Funny thing, I made that # for myself awhile back as I was considering a switch back from my current dirt sim racing # to a #4 that I always envisaged running on dirt when I was first getting into racing. It's kinda' weird... I wasn't ever really a fan of who was in the Morgan McClure cars but I always kinda' thought the Kodak cars were kinda' sharp looking. With as few guys that seemingly ran the #4 at the short tracks by me, it almost made it a shoe-in for consideration as there were so many #'s that were overused and yet the #4 is a pretty cool looking # shape that was pretty much ignored.
As time went on in my youth though, I became a fan of a local racer running car #27, switched to that as my aspirational number, and then eventually (talking probably 8-12 years later) decided rather than copying him that I wanted to go my own route when I got into sim racing (as it stands... he also began to run car #1 in mods, and another friend of mine had a twin-brother that the year I came up with my sim racing car # for dirt, his new car # had him running with his initials in front of a #1... a/k/a JJ1. I plugged in my initials [MM] and had my own unique standalone # that was sorta' in homage to both).
My sim pavement car # is effectively 27-1 (= 26) and it just happened that as I came up with it, I'd had a scheme laying around loosely-based on the Target/Havoline scheme that McMurray was running for Ganassi. I had a #42 on it for the ASA Heat mod (McMurray's # with Ganassi) but I wasn't ever satisfied with how it looked on the Heat models, so I opted to port it to a Grand Prix in LMPv2, mod it into a Camry (I own a Scion, am a free market American, I'm not a bigot towards foreign people and their goods, and I admire Toyota's quality elements after owning numerous GM products in a GM family and experiencing numerous problems firsthand; seems like every GM product we've had over the last 20-30 years has had major flaws, or I've seen friends' GM's and Ford's and Chrysler's with similarly major flaws), and switched the car # to McMurray's new #26 he got for Roush. I opted away from the #4 when Adam (SoloGraphix) and Demo and I made SLM Heat and so despite coming up with this #4 that I liked, I didn't have anything to put it on really as I decided that the #MM1 was too unique to let go of. LoL Adam did actually use it to make a #44 for someone on the dirt side of things awhile back, but when you put in the request I actually went through the trouble to rework it a bit in Illustrator to be how you see it now.
I'm just glad to see it put to use, it was always a cool # IMHO. Glad you like it man! I look forward to seeing some cars you're running it on posted in the showroom!
