I was looking thru the gallery and saw Mike Eakins #49 Reynard. I noticed that the number is on the side of the car. Last year at Roebling they made me move mine to the wing even though the wing was not wide enough and the numbers had to be cropped. Are they allowing you to run them on the side this year or did you just slide by.
OOps it was number 48.
Montfort, I think someone had a hobby horse stuck up there ars. I dont believe The GCR (goofy crazy rules) specifies the wing. What if you were in a FF? Sometimes stewarts are like building inspectors, he who cant inspects with a vengance.
Last year I had 48 plastered everywhere on the car.
I was driving a yellow car with red accents, so I didn't want Dave W. to be credited with my slow lap times.
When I was setting the car up, Dave had won the national championship (in something other than a VD), and he had numbers on both the side and the wings. I figured if it was good for the national champ, it was good for me.
This season I don't have them on the sidepods. It looked too busy, and I wanted all that room for potential sponsorship.
But I have a wonderful transponder than is supposed to insure I get correct lap times. Except no event that has mandated them has yet to use them....
It is impossible to put "legal" sized numbers on the wing endplates, even big '84 Reynard endplates. Having worked in timing and scoring a few times, there is a tendancy to look at the rear wing for a quick I.D. In the GCR (lets not go there again) there is what I thought was a "suggested" diagram.
