They won't let you into Tech without numbers, class and "national" stickers
such as the "Tire Rack. Com" windshield banner and the "to Topeka" stickers.
But then, they'er the big time. Realistically, everyone running a tour or
the Nationals gets a packet, as part of the entry verification, that clearly
tells them what markings are required at Tech.

We have too many one-time newbees to be able to enforch that kind of
requirement.

So the next best thing, in my opinion, is employing the "art" of peer
pressure.
