Oh no, its not a big deal at all if you like hanging out until 7pm because
people are running 3 driver cars with silver duct tape to differentiate the
numbers on a green car (ie invisible to the trailer), or running numbers on
one side only (the opposite of the trailer), which causes us to have to hold
the start and call the competitors up to tell us their times, thus delaying
the event.

With 39 new folks showing up at the last event (if this is a trend),
and with the reluctance we've traditionally had to have a separate tech
crew, yada yada, I agree.
If the start line can be a little closer to the MH, there really isn't
a problem with the numbers. Let's avoid shoe polish and odd placement of
numbers, like on a rear window :( .
And let's not over-react to what's really not such a big deal, imo.
