Very slow corners such as hairpins can be 1st gear turns. I've found that my quickest runs of the day are when I throw caution to the wind and start

Very slow corners such as hairpins can be 1st gear turns. I've found that my quickest runs of the day are when I throw caution to the wind and start trying various portions in first. Downshifting to first and keeping the RPM has tended to be faster than keeping it in second and trying to lug the RPM back up past 3k after a slow turn.

You can use painters tape (the blue tape in your picture) for numbers. Many events usually have a local guy selling magnets which work great...just not on the doors.
