I'll go in with you on them if it's better for him so he can use as little material as possible. As log gas you're ok with other of those colors. Haha.
sounds like one of the other guys has you covered, let me know if that changes. also stay away from dark colors if your car is dark, (not sure what car you have) because if you do an SCCA event they have some stricter rules as to visibility and size of the numbers.

I'm getting Big Worm to cut me some only because of the quick turn around I need them for. Plus I have other stuff he's been holding for me that I need to pick up, so it just adds to the order.

I will contact you probably closer to the start of the season to get a true magnetic plate with a number on it.

Do you have any pics of yours by chance?

I don't know if it cost anything to watch, but I planned to be there around 8 when the gates opened.

Supposed to be mid-60s with morning temps in the low 40s. As soon as the sun comes up, it will start to warm up fast.

Watching is free, as pervy as that sounds.

Don’t forget that the snack bar will be open.

Also, while the high temp will be 60ish, that will not occur until the afternoon. You will doing a lot of standing around in cold weather for half the day, so dress warm and in layers that you can peel off.

See you all on Saturday.

Here is a pic of mine. Couple years old still looks ok. For reference these are 9"x12". Pros and cons to having a number plate. I like this style better because I've seen individual numbers fly off, with more surface area I haven't experienced that issue. Down side is if someone registers before you with your number your back to using painters tape numbers. The club I ran with in NH used to have a season sponsor, and you had to display their logo thus the empty white space at the bottom of the plate. I would just run a decal in that area and peel it at the end of the season. All the talk of numbers and getting new ones cut ETC has made me decide to do a redesign, so these are now retired.

How well have the magnets held up? Because I've heard that after a couple of uses, the magnets just stop sticking.

like I said man, I've had these for a 2-3 years without issue. Had to pull them off my tool box to grab a pic of them. Last summer I left an NTAXS autox and forgot them on the doors, got on the highway and ripped home. They were still there when I got there
