A few thoughts:
Darren said: also have their numbers on their helmets.
I say:
I bet the problem with T&S is knowing where to look. Usually the side
door is the place, or where a door should be...but helmets? I wouldn't
think to look there for numbers. Now that T&S knows to look at the
helmets, too, maybe things will be smoother next time, as they did at nationals.
If not, maybe we should adjust

Do you think 'experience" T&S folks will want to come back into the
motorhome after all the complaints? :)

Unfortunately, the paper numbers disappeared from registration. I'm
hoping they can reappear for Round 2. They are much better than tape.

Heck, we've already got one of our new helmets missing in action. I
don't think so, even if they're marked "stolen from SCCA-SFR."
And while we're talking about numbers, car should also display what
class they're running in. Not only to help T&S but also to let your
competitors know who you are!
