I used to. I made my own. Buy magnetic sheet from TAP Plastics and paint it or get colored vinyl to match your car color (or something close) and then vinly numbers from Mr Letter or another cheap online source. Store them on the inside of the front hood.
Do they really work? I have been told that they begin to lift and then come off.
I've had to dodge a couple of them on the track. At the PCA DE events I attend, they require the leading edge of magnetic numbers to be taped down. Some of them come off anyway. I prefer the disposable vinyl stick-on ones myself.

When i used them, I found that the individual numbers stayed put at the highest speeds, but the large oval or round number "plates" will come off even when taped if you go fast enough. My student at Pocono this month, running the bowl course in a 996 Twin Turbo, launched one of the ovals at about 160mph even though it was taped.
Wow! Pardon me for saying so, but I think I'd have been asking for a little less speed. Not much to be learned at 160 on the banking at Pocono that you'd want to know.

Not "on the banking", at the end of the front straight... after the back staight and going through the banking. He is an excellent, advanced student, and a friend. Lots to be learned about braking and entering turn one from those speeds.
