Well, the BRCA state at the race directors discretion, and as the BRCA do the timing at Nationals (if I remember rightly) then they are within their right to set where the numbers go.
I presonaly see it as a slightly daft rule from a racing perspective, but then appreciate the fact that, if god forbid I get to do Nationals again and ever get in the position of lapping and not being lapped, the fact that the Ref could call the car number and get me through would be ace.
Bit swings and roundabouts type thing.
