    I was not told to put the nose sticker on the car in Houston divisional, but I did have the SCCA ones on the sides of the car. Wonder when autoxmax will chime in with an "official" answer.

    I do not mind buying the decals and applying them, but I will use magnetic backing for the sides. It has probably been asked on MME several times, but what is the current preferred vendor for the backing? Any known crappy stuff that I should avoid?

    I guess I could also just tape them to my car for that extra cool look.

    The magnetic HVAC vent covers from Lowe's/Home Depot work well...

    Autoxmax is out of town until Thursday so I'll relay the official call - we will be checking for required stickers in grid/impound. Should've been done at the other divisional events - not sure why it wasn't.

    The Solo decals should be TCB approved - I think they're $1.50 or $2.00 each, I can't remember. The SCCA one is free (I know that's TCB approved...)

    Default Food Options

    The soccer gang will be there on Saturday morning serving breakfast food! Breakfast burritos, donuts and assorted juices in the morning along with their famous brats and dogs throughout the day.

    Pack your coolers accordingly...

    on edit - they'll have soft drinks and water also

    Not quite correct..

    H. For National Championship, National Tour, and Divisional competition, current official SCCA required decals must be displayed on each side of the vehicle in a prominent location. For Divisional, Tour, and National Championship events, one official SCCA approved National sponsor identification logo must be displayed in an upright position, in a prominent location on each side of the vehicle.

    The July FasTrack changes this rule; Page 24.
    5) General: Remove “Divisional” from the second sentence of 3.7.H.

    Which means you don't have to use a National Sponsor based Sticker for Divisional.

    Hope that clear things up.

    We are looking forward to you being an announcer for the event.

    Do we want to meet for breakfast on Saturday morning? If so, shall we meet at an earlier time in order to get to the site earlier? Shall we try the Jubilee again?

    How about the Jub at 6:30? Then maybe head to the course at 7:00 or 7:15?
