Racing Car Numbers

This is what I use and what the league uses to number cars. We use white ones, but I thought the colored ones show them better. I usually leave them on for only a day or two to prevent the stickyness from staying on the cars. However, I have some that we have left on and they have stayed on the cars for a year+.

They could easily be cut down even farther. You just need to hand write on them. You can get 500+ lables at Wal-Mart for less than $2.00.

Iowastockcars--that's the sort of thing I was talking about. I use those stickers all the time.

And another thing--an idea Smitty just gave me by reading his post: should we just put team stickers on the cars, and not bother with numbers? I know I always use FOTF stickers (made out of the things ISC posted), and I've seen a couple team stickers on other peoples' cars. I would think that would be even easier to recognize than signature numbers. Either one works for me, just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

. . . should we just put team stickers on the cars, and not bother with numbers?

If you enter more than one car in a series/race numbers will help the race host know which car is which on the bracket.

Where to put the numbers hasn't been mentioned yet. I suggest it go on the roof (trunk lid if convertible) so the host can see them more better.

Yes, this should be consistent.

the sloppies ordered 2 different sized team stickers, I will also add a small MOON sticker beside the sloppies on one of the cars... I have plenty of all 3...
I vote for trunk mounted #s...or the roof for sedans, deliveries and trucks...

Good point, Carl.
In which case, I say have the numbers facing up. Hood, trunk, roof, window--anything as long as it's up. And if I were to enter something like a NASCAR, I'll probably stick numbers over ALL of it's numbers (I don't know about you, but I would find it a bit confusing--and annoying--otherwise, to have cars that already have numbers get others stuck on them in other places).

anything as long as it's up.

No, this should be consistent.

The roof is normally the largest place to put a number and most racers have roofs.
Convertibles can use the trunk lid.

Perfect--also because NASCARs, which all have roofs, can have their original numbers covered up that way (andit works for me personally because my team stickers don't usually go on the roof).

Ok Clayfeat chooses 69 and 72 the years our sons were born......

I have been rethinking my idea of assigned car numbers. I think it is a good idea, but the numbers should be put on the sides or hood. The host of the race can put his control number on the roof or back deck. This would mean you should only number race cars like in Nascar and such and don't have put numbers on a custom street rod. I certainly wouldn't want to number a car I didn't want to number.........

I don't quite get it.
