    Default Duct tape numbers...??

    Hey all,
    Can I just duct tape numbers on OR do i need to go buy numbers to make the car look pretty ? I am going to race my car twice (maybe) and then change everything to a new shell during fall/winter/spring ..so I dont want to go buy numbers for one race..then go do it again next year.

    I just dont want to get flagged at tech. It migh t be a silly quetion ..but a question not asked is silly to me.

    Duct Tape is fine; numbers have to be changed at registration from time to time.

    Just observe the minimum sizing and make them look neat for our workers to read at speed!

    Remember contrasting colors!!

    Spray paint them if you're not using the shell again.

    Thanks for the input guys...we decided to go with duct tape..Who new what you could find in color and scheme choices !! After resisting to buy the leopard print duct tape...we went with more traditional colors . Looks pretty cool and we a have our number of choice locked in already.

    Colored electical tape works very well and comes off easy when you want it to... typically avalilable in multiple widths and such
