You can reasonably expect a 2-second drop in your times vs your competitors.

I made magnetic numbers for my car before the last event. I bought 5"x8" magnetic sheets from Michael's (a craft store) for $2.50 each. Then I used MS Word to print out letters about 6" high. I traced around those letters with a ballpoint pen, pressing pretty hard. Then I used that indentation to cut the letters and numbers out.

You can get the magnetic sheets in plain white or with an adhesive front you can stick other materials to.

Edit: I found that the magnetic numbers I made stick to the car very well, even though I accidentally left them on when I drove home on the freeway. Many home-made numbers I've seen come off the cars easily.
