There is a discussion on Facebook about generating magnetic number plates, mainly by the RX competitors.

I wanted to gauge interest in the region, would anyone else be interested in them for Solo II or other Region events? It would help determine the design.

I see a few benefits to this, especially given the dirt/mud buildup at RX events

1) Uniform appearance
2) Black digits on a white background regardless of vehicle color
3) Possible revenue for the region
4) Less likely to fly off due to wind/speed
5) More likely to be found if lost

The cons as I see them

1) Initial expense
2) Harder to change classes/number
3) Expense of maintaining an inventory of digits
4) Logistics of maintaining an inventory of digits

These were a few of the preliminary ideas:
