Question - can I put the NHRA LODRS decal on my side windows?

They make what I would best call "magnetic sign boards" they are very thin, find some of these and put your decals on them and then you can put these on your car when you race.

Ah! sounds like a great idea. I could put the LODRS sticker on the same way then remove them as needed. Any chance of them coming off around 130mph?

Maybe they're better than they used to be. I used them when I bracket raced my street car in the 80's, and had to run a few decals. They didn't "stick" too well at the 92 or so mph that I "screamed" through the traps.

I don't know. I am sure that there is different quality which will have some effect and also where on the car they are will also have some effect. Some years ago I knew someone who used these on the quarter panel behind his rear tires and had no problems when racing the car.

Have someone install PPF on your car where you want to put the decals and you don't have to worry.

I guess you could say I'm just a whiner or whatever but I would think there's some more important **** out there that needs to be teched or looked at that's way more important than busting someone's balls over a sticker being a few centimeters too small. I have a wrap also and I have not checked every one of them but the ones I did were identical to my my wrap but hopefully I'll get the chance this year for them to check it out.
