Autocross/track numbers
I am looking to get a set of numbers to be used for autocross and track days. Any suggestions for a vendor? Also which materials, magnetic or re usable vinyl?

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same. Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.  I can't wait for my next Track fix.

don't buy magnetic for the road course, they won't stay put over 100mph, even worse when wet or cold.

Same goes with static cling numbers. They work ok inside a window, but don't cut it on the outside.

I never had a problem with my magnetic numbers from Solo Performance. I have had it over 120 mph many times at the track.

I never had any problems with numbers cut from a magnetic sheet at ~60 mph at autocross, but now that I'm using the same numbers for track days I'm taping all the leading edges of the numbers down with painters' tape. This holds up at 120+, and even at 105-ish in the rain with no evidence of lifting.
