RX8Club Style -- Magnetic Numbers
I am very interested in getting magnetic numbers done for my car for auto-crossing with the same style "8" we use on this board...
I have been talking to Polak about this, and he too is very intersted in this. BTW, Polak is the one who does the RX8Club Decals, RX8Club T-shirts, amongst other items as well.

He said he can do it in other numbers as well, with the same style. For anyone who road races or auto-crosses this can be very useful. Ok... let us know if your interested.
Thanks

as long as the color of the magnet distinctly stands out from the color of your car, than it should be ok. I think the number 8 design is pretty easy to read.

i worked Timing and Scoring at this past sundays event.. and DAM people need to work on Color combos!!!! a light blue car w/ white colors is not SMART!!! or even worse.. Silver w/ white is just painful!
if its Big enough and good enough contrast or has a white/black outline i think it would work great.
Anyone got a Font that is close enough?
A friend actually made his own magnets, bought the sheet from
http://www.dickblick.com/zz289/21/pr...m=0&ig_id=2800
and then printed , traced and cutout the numbers

If you run with the SCCA...
Class numbers... Minimum 8" Tall with minimum 1.25" Stroke
Class letters... SAME FONT as Number, 25% to 75% of number height, minimum 4" Tall, minimum .75" stroke.
Number must be high contrast to paint.
Numbers aren't a fashion statement. Some regions DQ you if timing and scoring can't read it. They're made so T&S and corner workers can do their job efficiently and easily.

You saying that the 8 he posted above would be unacceptable?
No colors are not a problem, far as font I can create numbers 0-9 in the same style it'll just take some fiddling, if the "8" is too much of a fashion statement, I can always play it down a little bit.

Kind of looks like the numbers I have been using for the last five years:

Only my 8 is backwards.

I know for PCA we don't use calls letters, were all just OJ 
Other than a few of us, it seems that most of the auto-crossers here run with SCCA so they would definetely need the class distinctions. I don't see why that would be a problem, and if you would like letters I suggest PM'ing polak you specific class letters.

Sounds good to me. I want mine in White or Yellow. I don't want mine to be gigantic. If it can fit on the rear door, than that is good enough.
English, those are nice... did you make them yourself? They are a little bigger than i would like, but nice nonetheless.

Thanks.
Most that would use them in SCCA autocrossing would need some combination of B, S, T, U, P, M and the number 2 (in the smaller size of the letters) and need two sets of whatever combination.
Certain regions and autocrossing with non-SCCA clubs might require other letters.

So add to the list: L as well as a small # 1 and 2... In Prosolo the girls can run L1 in a BS car and L2 in a BSP, STU, SM etc car.
