I will be bringing my magnetic numbers with me (10" high, blue) and any of

y'all are welcome to borrow numbers.  I have four of every digit, so there's

plenty to go around so long as our numbers don't conflict.  If you want to

see what 10" numbers look like on a car (my Miata), check out

http://realbig.com/~andy/miata.html .



If you're really concerned about your paint finish, you'd probably prefer

static cling numbers.  They're made of a soft flexible plastic that lightly

adheres to the car and doesn't affect the paint at all.



A good source for both magnetic and static cling numbers is an outfit called

SoloTime in Kansas (316-683-3803).  They can also sell you static cling

meatballs and all that kind of stuff.

I hear ya Jim.  This will be my first time on the track in my Pantera and

I too am trying to think of everything I need to get done before then...
