Temporary AutoX numbers by the weekend
�
�
I was wondering if anyone knew of stores that sold either the magnetic numbers, or something similar. I want to go to my first RallyX this weekend and it says that you need 6" numbers on each side, and a 4" class designation. If anyone knows where I can get these in a hurry, or a temporary solution it would help me out tons. Thanks guys.

Staples is your firend. We bought regular stick on vinyl 6" white numbers there.
They have them pre cut and ready to stick. They actually last a long time, if you want. We had the same one on our Focus for 3 years or so.
Try craft stores too.

Go to any craft store and pick up a roll of the magnetic tape. I got a roll of 1"x10' for $10. Cut the tape into 3 inch pieces. Arrange the pieces like you would on an LED display. Simple, effective and completely removable.

You can get 8�x11 magnetic sheets at office supply stores. Or print these on paper & use blue low-stick painter's tape to tape them on your car.

3.7D. Numbers and class letters should be positioned next to each other.
All letters and numbers must be on body panels, [b]not on windows.[/b]
All numbers and class letters must use the same typeface and the
same color, and this color must provide adequate contrast to the
background color (see Appendix F for examples)

Yeah but my region never slapped me on the wrist when i put them on the windows. Usually they have blue painters tape for folks to use, which doesn't work too well on a blue car.

You may not have, but I have personally failed people on tech for having numbers on their windows.

Aw my buffer went from 25 to 19 :( That will teach me to mock those who follow pointless rules.
| TheLegacy | 12-02-2005 06:58 PM |

| mcowger | 12-02-2005 06:59 PM |

In every region i've competed in the "geniuses" in tech didn't think it was that important, so even if you keep it from us you might want to let them know.

More and more regions are cracking down on numbers for local autocross competition. Usually if numbers are required in order to pass tech inspection, they have some available for a nominal fee. Usually it is just number printed out on paper that you tape to your car.
Lachlan: if you are as abrasive in real life as you are in your posts, I hope not meet you at the Wendover Pro next year.

Come on, PKer, you've been on nasioc long enough to know it's a rough place. If you think being ratted out for your sexual preferences for enforcing ghey rules is abrasive, you should probably go to one of those touchy feely suby boards ;)
PS I'll look for you there

Failing someone in tech for having numbers on the window?!?! This is why I will never again autocross with the SCCA. I had a terrible first experience, and I fail to see why I should ever try to have a second experience.
I'll stick with my local clubs.
I dont quite see how it makes a difference. Maybe because someone can roll the window down and hide the number? That is weak at best.
On a Coupe or Hatchback with fixed rear windows, it makes no sense.

The problems with putting the numbers on windows is one of contrast. Lightly colored numbers can be hard to see from some angles. This is even worse on sunny days because of the way they reflect light. Black numbers tend to vanish competely. Yes is sucks but like most rules there is a simple reason behind it.

Exactly!
The numbers in the picture above are an example of what not to do. Sitting there still, sure they aare easy to read. Wait until the car is going 40MPH with sunlight glinting off the windows and most of the way through your station and hits a cone...5" numbers like thaty on the windows will be VERY hard to see.

I guess we'll have to disagree then. Our local club has been doing this for years.
I've never had problems when I was out shagging cones seeing decently made numbers on the windows.

I bought a package of 8x15 magnetic vent covers from Home Depot or Lowes. A 3 pack was like 5 bucks. Printed out the font and size that I wanted to use and cut out the number. Then I spray painted them yellow and put a clearcoat over it (probably overkill, but they looked shiny). Super easy and cheap. Not required to display class here.

Blue painters tape for a temporary solution.
I now have magnetic numbers.

OK You got me, I must have posted on a sensitive day.
I'm sure I coudn't help but run into you @ Wendover since I love GCs and an STi swapped one would be impossible to resist checking out.
