Default Track your Vette? Put the track outline decal on your car?

Took my little blue Vette to the track last week and saw some cars with those decals on their windows. As a total noobie tracking my car, I don't want to be pretentious or tacky, but I thought those decals were kinda sharp.

Thoughts? Pics?

I had 'em on my C-63 AMG, kinda liked the idea, and they were a reminder of some very fun (& slightly terrifying) times...

Not tacky in my opinion. If you like it, do it. Great plate you have!

With so many tracks and so many events, it is now more a "home track" decal for most.

I would only have 5. 6 if you counted a different layout of one. That one is my home though. Going out on the 30 and 31st. Also, Thunderhill Friday if you are around. Would be cool to catch up at either.

Your decision, my opinion no decals.

It can spark conversations with others who track their cars.
In a moment of brain freeze I was going to buy a black outline but the guy at the track store said for a window you want white.
Guess I forgot about tint.

I just put them on my car this year and I never put anything on the car. Interesting most people dont even comment have no idea what they are. Those who know always start a conversation.

I think they are low key and work for me.

Those are the only stickers I have on my car. I have two so far but plan to add a couple more tracks after I drive them. I also found a place online than can do them in different colors so I got yellow ones to match my car. I think some blue ones at the top of the back window would look good on your car without standing out too much.

I also agree it can spark some good conversation since it easily identifies people that have the interest in high performance driving.

Added both VIR and tail of the dragon outline. Suggest if someone doesn't lie, it they should look away.

Thanks for your replies. Got any pictures of those decals on your cars?

I got my Mid Ohio one at Ebay. Mid Ohio from what I see in my many times there does not have a souvenir shop open there.
