    The history of the 1872000

    So by now I'm sure that a lot of have seen or heard that in ALL of my tracks, I include the numbers 187 either hidden or incorporated in the deco. Lately I have been asked several times what the 187 is for or means, so I'm here to let everyone know my reasoning but bare with me lol this might take a minute. now, most of you have heard me talk about my nephew Luke aka Pittjr1872000 but what you don't know is the numbers are not random. Luke's dad (my older brother) had an xbox account under the GT Pittbull1872000, and bought me an xbox so we could play online together cause we lived in different towns but his only request was I had to put the 1872000 at the end of my GT so when we played together everyone would know we were a team. Sadly, on January the 5th in 2011 my brother passed away at the young age of 31. as a memorial tribute Luke made the GT Pittjr1872000. all my life my brother was my best friend, no matter what the situation I knew he would be there for me, so I guess it's kinda like my way of keeping his memory alive. This is why in every track I build for the rest of my life will have the 187 incorporated in some way. I hope this gives you an incite as to how much family means to me, cause for the last 3 years (since the earlier days of THD) I've considered the Trials community kinda like my extended family since I spend more time in the whole Trials universe then anything lol before this rant gets to mushy I'll end it by saying THANKS to Redlynx and the whole Trials Community for being more of a rock for me lean on in my darkest hour then any of you will ever know.

    Wow. What does 187200 mean, why did Luke put it, or was it just a random number he had made up on the end of his GT? Surely he must of got the 187200 from somewhere e.g. a date or a place or something. You don't have to tell me if it's personal, just curious thanks for the story.
