    Default Race Car Number Kits

    I need some sources for number kits for the new race car. I had several saved in my Favorites, but apparently a lot of them have gone out of business. Any recommendations?

    Not to hurt a business but you can buy vinyl VERY cheap and a stencil and just cut it out yourself for $30 or less.

    I know where you can buy it. The vinyl business is run by a shop with several years of racecar vinly experience. The owner is really great to work with and is a racer (well, autocrosser).

    Simon, I've done that route in the past too but sometimes it's worth getting it done by a shop. Some of the vinyl out there is junk. I'm peeling some off that was provided by a company, and it sucks to peel off. Other instances the stuff damages the paint. All vinyl is not made the same.

    So here's one option for ya.

    Yep. Got the roll cage and other fabrication done over Christmas. Depending on work, family and other issues, I should be back on the track April/May/June. Did I see where you were building a new car, or were you just working on the old one?

    Get it finished! Use the Time trial at NSS April 2-3 to shake it down. I will crew for you. I owe you that much at least!

    I brought this home Friday to update into a pretty weather driver and if I can get it up to snuff I will drive it to NSS in April.

    Very nice, Paul. The Time Trials is the first event I'm shooting for. We'll see if I make it. Randy Shedd came over to the house last night to discuss paint and body work.

    Built a new tub (this one is painted ) and swapped everything over to it. Made it out to the ARRC last November. Had a few teething problems, but that was expected.
