classes must clearly identify which class and weight they are running. The numeral "1" shall will be exclusively reserved for the
current national champion in each class for Conference Majors/Super Tour events. The numeral "1" will be reserved until the
end of the period for submitting advanced or pre-event entries, and then will be released. If 2 two or more national champions
are entered in the same run group, the first to enter shall will have preference. Duplicate car numbers within the same run
group is are prohibited. See also GCR section 6.4.1.A.
B. Size of Numbers and Class Letters Identifications
Numbers shall must be at least 8 inches high, with a 1.5-inch stroke on a solid contrasting background (rear-winged Formula
cars shall must have as large a number as possible on their rear wing side end plates). Metallic (reflective) numbers and class
letters are prohibited. The distance between 2 two numbers shall must be at least as wide as the stroke of the numbers. Front
and side numbers must be surrounded by 6 inches of contrasting background free of all other graphics. If multiple digits are used,
each number digit must be the same color. Cars with illegible numbers may not be scored. The Chief of Timing and Scoring and
the Race Director/Chief Steward will determine legibility of markings. Class letters identifications shall must be at least 4 inches
high, with a 1/2-inch stroke on a solid contrasting background.
C. Legibility
Legibility of numbers and class identifications will be determined by the Chief of Timing and Scoring in conjunction with the Race
Director/Chief Steward. Requests for changes will be communicated to the driver through the Race Director/Chief Steward.
Various methods of communication may be utilized and will be considered as having been delivered to the entrant. If no
improvement is made after two notifications to the entrant, a request will be made to note a non-compliant number in the
vehicle logbook. This regulation overrides all class or spec line rules, regulations, and standards."
