    Will blue painters tape work for car numbers? Car is an Emerald Mica Miata.

    ^Blue on green will be frowned upon (I think). I think painter's tape comes in other colors, but don't use regular masking tape.

    PS - Just remembered that SCCA usually has white 'panels' that you write your numbers on, and then tape to the car.

    Just print off a number/class on your home computer and tape it to your car.

    I did this for a long time and it worked great. Takes less time to put them on as well.

    I sat in my car tonight with the soft top up and helmet on and it rubs badly. Does the hard top provide more head room?

    Not really. This is why we autocross with the top down.

    A foamectomy on your seat will get you a couple of inches, and makes the driving position better in-general.

    In a pinch, move the seat forward a bit, and recline more.

    I did a foamectomy on my stock seat and really liked it. I've moved to a rave seat, but liked the foamectomy.
