Download a copy of the GCR. It has all the details on what is required for decal placement.

See section 9.3.29 of the Sporting Regulations (pp. 75-77). There is a sketch showing sticker placement.

Thanks John, I found it and now I know. I tried looking in the GCR on the SCCA website and I couldn't find it. Maybe I should have tried harder. I have a lot to do in a little time to get ready for this upcoming session. I hope to meet a lot of you guys this year at either Lime Rock, or NHMS. I'm meeting up with John D tonight to determine what ring and pinion I have so I can get the right gears for these tracks. I might be looking for some good used gears so if anyone has any please let me know. More dumb questions to follow. Thanks again guys.

Most of the time the test days are not actually run by SCCA. They are run by the track even thought they often list them on their schedule as an SCCA test day, therefore SCCA rules don't apply.

I'm laughing, not at you, but with you.
Time was, in my military career, although somewhat short at 3 years, the question "Where does _______ go?", or the ever popular "Where's a good place for this?" was met with a very dry, very unapologetic "Up your arse sounds about right".
God, I miss those days...

Side numbers can be placed anywhere not obscured.
Just make it sano and no one will hasslle you...
Good luck and have fun.
Years ago at the runoffs I had a sponser that had the logo of KI. This was placed on my DB-1's hump in bright red letters and my numbers were displayed in GCR approved size on the white bodywork. We were approached twice about timing and scoring not being able to read my number. I had run it in the same position for decade. Our solution was a BIG red arrow next to my sponsers KI directing the gaze toward the legal number classification below. They did sort appreciate the humour. I di not have to move the numbers. Moral of the story is "you can have a car that looks like the sketch in the GCR but there could always be someone that thinks you are wrong" If they do not like it peel it off and have them place it (for that event) where they want it.
Nothing to say...I just got tired of seeing the "no on performance enhancing....bla bla". I thought this thread was much more inviting to see on a daily basis.

As part of the stewards training program I was required to work in T&S, and it gives you a new appreciation for number placement. They have a segment of T&S that "tapes" each race, that is writes down all the car numbers in order as they pass the finish line. Imagine trying to sort thru a dozen (or more) cars, locate their number and write it down in sequence at the start of a race. I was truly amazed at how good some of those folks were!
One of my "favorite" cars had what would have been called a "psychedelic" paint job. The numbers were the proper size and width, but embedded into a wild design that made them almost like camouflage.
My point is that the numbers are important, and it's to your benefit to make them easy to spot...whereas the SCCA club racing decal serves little purpose beyond giving the tech folks one more thing to look for.

The SCCA sticker probably had some function in the old days when people used open trailers or drove their car to the track. It was advertising and club exposure. In todays events there is no need for these decals. Most of the events are non spectator and those that attend know it is a SCCA event. Spectator events usually have the clubs identity on the admission ticket. The only place I can see an aplication for these decals is for a pro series race held in conjuntion with another sanctioing series. This way it serves it purpose for club awareness. From what I have heard from many people, the best place for the new SCCA national racing series decal is on the bottom of the car.
