Intersport believes you should be able to race without being distracted by how much it is costing you so they have divorced the delivery from the billing. Works for me- by the time I find out how much it cost me to finish last (or not at all) at the previous race, it's too late, I am already committed to the next race .

I saw a car being prepped at a Grand Am race. I guess due to qualifying well, they got sponsorship. They were applying the decals right in the garage area. Get it done at the track, man!

Be forwarned.....give it time to dry, too. I recall a certain 911 that had to pit early because the hood graphic, applied earlier that day, ended up with it on the windshield.

I showed up with my Piper receipt for NASA - no drilling. I showed up with my Piper receipt for PCA (and my NASA log book) - they drilled and measured.
