Number plates

[Freestylemxr]

Did anyone make their own number plates for hanging off their grab bar? and if someone has how did you do it

[wilkin250r]

I bought mine for $4, why would I bother to spend the time to make my own?

[roostin_dale]

I use to use cardboard....some tracks will make you have real numberplates though!

[JRDrider22]

they want real plates becuase when it rains of it gets wet it goes away

I just get the plain white ones, number them up...vinyl stickers will last longer. Then zip tie them up accordingly and you're good to go.

I also trim them up or drill a bunch of holes in the plate to let air through too.:cool:

Looks kinda like what Maggot's set up is.

I ended up just getting a metal for sale sign, painting it black, cut if down, put the numbers on it, put to holes, and zip tied it to my grab bar, I was going to use cardboard but I remember about the rain, thanks for the help ;)

[Freestylemxr]

I've got 3 of them and a wire tie, I'm pretty sure it's not going anywhere

i break off my plastic ones that i bolt on all the time. i go through about 5 a year. if you don't wanna buy maiers or whatever atleast go find some sort of plastic to use.

[Freestylemxr]

:rolleyes: ok whatever you guys say, I only wish someone would of told me earlier :confused:

[INFANTRY RACING]

you didn't ask:D

[Freestylemxr]

haha true, I gues you guys beet me out on this one pretty good, thanks for the help though :), I wouldn't want to kill anyone on the track. Just frustrating because it took me a while to make the metal one and I've got a race this weekend :eek:

[INFANTRY RACING]

well just make 199% that it won't fall off. then when you can throw so flexable plastic ones on it. your rear plate is the one that will more than likely fall off.

[Freestylemxr]

Yea I hear ya :blah: Its my first race so i'm not firmiliar with everything yet

[400ex28]

how big do you guys normally make yours??

[wheeltrax]

well for the low budget racer... i was ice racing this winter, first race, and didnt know you needed a side number plate.. well i didnt have one of those, so i used a paper plate and electrical tape.. looked very tacky and horrible, but hey, it lasted through my race... paper plate racer..

[Jingle 11]

where do u get the plastic plates to go on the back?
