Hmm..functional racing stripes. Might be some truth to that. I read once that racing stripes evolved from people making a line down the hood in front of the driver for line of site reference.
My $5.99 contact paper homemade numbers were only supposed to last through my 1st HPDE, but they haven't fallen off yet so I haven't thought much about it. But I did try making a racing stripe with the same roll one day when I was bored, ended up as a blistery, wrinkled, crooked mess that I peeled right back off.
If racing stripes make me faster, I wonder what real numbers/decals would do?
Anyway, nice choice on the white.
