Nick, If you are running SCCA events, and plan on doing national tour events, they have very specific rules about the size of the letters as well as the numbers themselves if you have multiple drivers. So check the rule book before you buy or make anything. Personally, 20" is too big in my opinion, something 8-12" should be fine for the numbers, depending on the purpose of the car (whether it will ever be street driven), I'd also consider magnetic numbers. Driving a fully decaled racecar on the street is just asking for attention...

One of the racers here does that. His race car is street legal and he drives it fully decalled on the street, no problems at all. He's 60 years old though, but his son who is in his mid 20's early 30's does it too.
Anyway, here's our car:

Yea i thought 20 was to big to but falls in line with the rules. But this is why we are asking sizes other racers use. Letters will be magnet as we are still unsure what class we will be running. My 7 is not a DD more like a weekend car once or twice a month. In fact its been almost a month since I have even started it.

Having worked as a worker at events for awhile the biggest baddest numbers you can put on your car that are visible from 2 counties away will be greatly appreciated. Also consider that many corner workers are older and have poor eyesight. *grin*

Though my car is a dedicated autox car, I still use magnetics. They are cheap, easy to make or change. Eventually I will have the car painted with all the appropriate (Mazda), decals attached. I agree that a numbered/stickered car is asking for attention you may not want. My avatar shows what I use. Good luck.
