Help Needed - Magnetic Racing Numbers and Trailer!

Postby Garry-997-600hp on Thu Jul 02, 2009 6:13 pm

Hello Gang,

I am reaching out for some help from the group. I need some top quality MAGNETIC racing numbers for my 997 Turbo Cab. Its a street car that I track. Can you point me in the right direction?

Secondly I want to invest in an open trailer to haul my 997 Turbo or RX7 race car to and from the track. Ideally it would have room for a space set of tires.... I am looking for a top quality new OR USED!

Thanks so much :D

Martin Reinhardt does a great job with numbers. He is a club member and posts regularly on this forum. Try him.

For a trailer keep your eye on Craigslist. I got mine at a great price. It took a while but I watched all the areas in and around So. Cal. There are many good deals there.

For good quality numbers, I used E-decals.com. They're fast and inexpensive. Check them out at http://www.EDecals.com

As for Trailers, there are plenty in the calssified's. Toys are being sold left, right, and center right now. For a new one, either Carson Trailers in LA, or F.E. Trailers in El Cajon. These are steel trailers, cheaper, but heavier.

Good Luck!

I have had two sets of magnetics made by Dave Weiss at DFGrafix ( dweiss@dfgrafix.com or http://www.dfgrafix.com). Both were done very well and professionally, and ran me $150 for a complete set (two large ovals with my numbers, two rounded rectangular pieces with the class, and one nameplace for the door).
I would check with Martin Reinhardt first, as he is a local and active Club member (and probably needs to keep his new race car in race gas! :wink: )
