Thoughts on removing numbers after track day?

[Dave]

Eventually, you won't want to deal with the "unwashed heathens" as Charlie so eloquently put it, so you take those numbers off ASAP.

Charlie has numbers on his car from 2003, I think . . . :p Mine usually stay on the car until I start prepping it for the next event. I've taken them off before I leave the track sometimes, but usually by Sunday afternoon, I am fairly tired and focused on packing up my stuff, loading the trailer and such, that I really don't care about the numbers. Of course, my car, like Chuck's, sits in the garage unless it is being driven to, or at, the track.

But yeah, on a daily driven car, well . . .

Why the hell do you autocross guys need numbers?? You're on the track like thingy all by yourself. It is not like control needs to radio in and say "car # 16 needs assistance in turn 5". I assume it goes more like this "the car on course needs assistance between cone 48 and 49. I guess he forgot to spray down his tires between runs".

Mine are magnetic, so they come off when I'm done for the day
