I think the biggest issue most people have is readability. Legibility and contrast are what we're looking for. Can they be read by a course worker glancing at your car going 45 mph past them? Or can they be read from the motorhome in a starting line 5-6 cars deep? If you print it on a piece of regular white paper in a font like Helvetica and the letters are at least 8" high, you should be good.Ryan Young wrote:Hey everybody, I've got a noob question that fits into this category. I purchased a set of magnetic numbers and class letters for my car, but I'm running in the novice class this weekend and did not buy extra "NOV" magnets to stick to my car. Is it alright if I print them out and stick them to my car with tape, even though they won't match the magnets?

Re: Just a reminder...
Yes, that is fine. Just make sure they are large enough to read. Similar in size to your class letters.Ryan Young wrote:Hey everybody, I've got a noob question that fits into this category.
