I have used magnetics on my roadster for about 15 years,
they almost always stay attached for auto-x races (up to 60 mph?)
as long as I miss the bondo spot in the drivers side door
however, I occasionally lose some when running hillclimb races
(maybe 85 mph ?)
If you have trouble getting them to stay on the doors ?
place your numbers on the hood & trunk if your club allows.
There is a picture of my car with magnetics on Mark Dents web site
