Track Placks

NASA competition and HPDE vehicles require clearly visible numbers that meet series size and legibility standards. To help drivers, Track Placks offers integrated number boards designed with compliant numeral sizing and stroke thickness, combined into a single, easy-to-install panel. Drivers can also customize colors, layout, and details while staying within a clean, track-ready format commonly used across NASA.

PLEASE NOTE TRANSPONDER RENTAL POLICY: Unfortunately, due to 25% of rented transponders not being returned, we have been forced to implement a $50 penalty on transponders that are not returned to Registration on Sunday, 30 minutes after the last session. On Monday morning, anyone who has a missing transponder will be charged $100 to their credit card on file. If the transponder is not returned to NASA SoCal (see Contacts page for address) by the Wednesday after the event, a replacement fee of $500 will be charged.

Also please note that transponders are not rented to HPDE1 and 2 groups as they are not timed but are REQUIRED in TT and the race groups. There are no refunds or credits for transponder rentals. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
