Numbers - Size and Placement

Postby shakedown067 » Wed Sep 02, 2009 8:35 am

I may have missed it, but I didn't see where there were any requirements on number size and placement. Here's what I'm looking at hooking up. Going to see if I can get it in a static cling so I don't have kids trying to race me on the road. At least no more than they already try to. The stickers should add about 5-6hp too. :lol:

We are looking for minimum 8" high digits. They need to be easily read, even from a distance.

Edit: I'd previously said 6" and that is wrong!

The Jag complains about autoX by throwing Gearbox Faults.
I think it is just lazy.

The "Push Harder, Suck Less" philosophy explained:
Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.
