[DeTomaso] numbers for C group

[ProvaMo.com]

The magnetic roundels (big white dots - grin) I made have held on under
numerous blasts over 140.  (over several years).  But having much more
contact area than just numbers, this is kind of intuitive.  I initially
tried the cheaper and thinner typical magnetic material, I found on the
internet, and those did blow off easily.  Thus the need for research.

So if you use "magnetics", get the thicker stronger stuff.

Another feature I like about putting the numbers on a Magnetic roundel, is
that you can easily move your numbers around, finding the spot you like.

To see what it looks like placed on various spots around the car see:

Moving around can be hard to do when using just the vinyl numbers.

I don't think I have any sets left, so this is not a sales pitch.

Magnetic numbers are only good for about 80MPH or 90MPH, too. You may want
to tape the edges of those, also.

Larry Stock of PPC-Reno avidly supports the event and if you call him, he'll

have stick-on numbers with him at the track; cheap, too. Same thing happened

to Judy last year when she ran, and Larry had our stick-on numbers ready for
us 
at Pahrump. I suggest masking-tape or even transparent Scotch tape over the 
leading edges of any static-cling numbers; autocrossing showed us that above
90 
mph, they'll blow off otherwise. FWIW- J DeRyke
