Hell, I didn't even have numbers at one of the events last year.

No high horse here.

I posted it to let people know about it because there were a few people at the Gville event who were upset about it.

The bottom line is that the decision was made by the Solo 2 advisory board and it's not up for debate. There was a lot of discussion about numbers on the yahoo group for cfrsolo2 late last season and that's when it was up for debate. The bottom line is that shoe polish just isn't visible enough to work well. And it runs off when it rains. If you really have that much of an issue with it, send an email out on the list with your input.



And just for the record....

Tape never comes off during runs rain or shine.
Decent magnetics don't come off.
Shoe polish runs when wet.
You've autoxed YOUR car 1 time in two years.

Doesnt matter how many times I've autox'ed my car. I've got plenty of experience to know what works.

both of you, shut the fuck up....


Leslie....if you have a problem, write your letter to the CFR Advisatory Board. We made the decision, deal with it.

Leonard, just ignore the impulse to reply. We don't need war on TR.

LOL - you guys are funny.



(note to the peanut gallery: Leonard and Jesse are both ON the advisory board...so my post covers three of the four west-coast members)

Can't read shoe polish.

Tape is removable. Vinyl electrical tape is also great alternative, available in many colors, cheap, and seems to work fine enough that the rest of the TR crowd pays lots of $$$ to cover their car in the stuff even on the street.

We'd love to see Leslie at more events so she can voice her opinion to the rest of the officials.

You know I <3 you Neal.

I should be ready to go with (finally!!) an autox worthy car by springtime, so I will definitely be coming out to as many events as possible.

You can buy a package at Office Depot for $20. It has two 12" X 18" white magnetic sheets (and some unusable #'s & letters). Make some huge 8" numbers on Word, transfer them to the magnet, cut, spray paint and they're done. It's good thick stuff that'll stay on, it'll take an hour and a half and it can be done for $25 (if you can't use white and have to buy paint). You could proably make 6 numbers and 4 letters, but I know you can do 4 & 4.

if anyone stops autoxing because they have to change the medium with which they apply their numbers then i say good riddance. no time for people that would get their panties in a wad over some stupid numbers.
