Thoughts on graphics?
What do you guys think about running semi-permanent numbers and graphics on a occasional street driven car? I am tired of the look of the plane magnetics and missing sponsor logos during track days. Plus bold graphics seem to get more camera time from the track photographers.

depends on how much time "occasionally" actually is, and how willing you are to handle the extra "unwanted" attention that might bring....

B.T.J. isnt an issue if your all stickered and behaving. I know people that still drive their race cars to the track. one is a SRX7 and he will drive it to watkins glen. The other was driving till her ITA neon was stolen, now she tows.

Not sure where you live, or if you go to Canada much, but I've heard repeatedly that Quebec province at least has a law against numbers on cars driven on the street. They tend to look the other way when folks zip from the track to the local gas station and literally pump money into the local community, but I'd guess that out of town things might get sticky. This could also be Urban Legend material, but as I said I've heard it several times from several groups...worth checking if Tremblant is on your favorites list of circuits, which if you're in the north east certainly should be.
