Unfortunately not. The windshield banner is required to run at any of the national level auto-x events. So any of the ProSolos, Match Tours, National Tours, or Nationals you have to have the "event decals" and the tirerack banner is one of them. Everything you see on the car in that picture is vinyl so it doesn't come off between events. Get some funny looks sometimes driving around town

Are there banners that are easily removed? I want to go to the SCCA nationals in nebraska in 2014 but don't want to have to be in public with a banner on my windshield.

Not really. Just have to peel it off afterwards. You can stick them to your shirt first to get rid of some of the "stick" so they come off easier.

Bah it's a badge of honor! Also at nationals you have to run a few other stickers so bring plenty of magnetic material.

Been running the Miata.

Here's my Bay Bottom Crawl video. Could have used the power but didn't want to risk crashing the Mini.

That Bay Bottom Crawl video was the fastest and longest autocross I've ever seen. Looked more like a solo road race.
What was your top speed?

On the Miata? Kosei K1. I want to find a set of 16X8 K1's for the Mini but the only place I'm finding Koseis is on Tire Rack and they don't offer any aggressive fitments on the Mini.

Slightly over 100 on the long sweeping corner I believe. I was well into 4th.

They don't have parking lots down there!!! That looked like fun.... and a creative use of available pavement!

If he's talking about me they're the NM Engineering RSe05. Purchased from Way Motor Works. They're fairly light and have held up well so far. Come in a few different colors and fairly cheap also.

They look pretty nice and good weight.

I think if I change rims from these heavy 22lb stock ones, I'll go with 16's. Preferably something like a 16X8 Kosei K1. And use a 205/55 tire.
