with you all the way on that one mate, it's absolutely no punishment at all for them to lose that time if they've stopped racing!!

Si, reason I didn't suggest BRCA change their numbers is that they are used accross the whole BRCA, they also have stock.

my idea is that they are still can use up the stock, people can still get 'free' numbers if they want to.

its just that you have the OPTION to use other numbers.

with regard extra scrutineering, don't they 'check' the numbers on the cars anyway? if it looks obviously 'wrong' then they can pull it up

start a new topic on rostrum leave please...

I think that we should just get a number, say brca number, And it has to be sprayed on the shell on each side, visible etc so that it can be seen either side.

Or, why dont you just get small square/rectangle numbers and stick them on either side of the wing, then it could be visible which number you are.

I think we should defetly be able to cut he numbers out as long as we dont cut into the actual number. So what we want is......

To be able to use aftermarket numbers from companys such as proline etc
Be able cut the BRCA numbers so they fit better on the car.

You going to propose it chris???

so what your saying ash is cut all the white away and just leave the black number?? what happens if your bodyshell is black! hows the ref supposed to see it?

[RLGfx]

how about 'number must be legible (sp?) when viewed from a distance, and a contrasting colour to the bodyshell where possible'... ?

That means you can cut the surround how you want, as long as you can still read it on-track.

[ashleyb4]

I said you can cut it if you want. You dont have to cut it i want to put two little white shapes behind my windows on my car to match the contors of the shells where i can stick the black numbers.

i think the driver stayin on the rostrum is a crap idea
the driver should be able to leave if ok with other drivers ref and does not disturb the race in progress

Good point Chris.... i had not thought about other classes

[Chris Doughty]

I am thinking of proposing it, but some of the talk in this thread about 'I want my own numbers' and 'let everyone be allowed to cut their numbers to NNxNN' is going over the top.

I will only put forward a rule that is similar to what we have now, just a little bit more relaxed with regard to the 'brands' of numbers allowed.

as Chris (LosiXXX) pointed out, the rule is not really broken, its just that the current number I think don't look that good and don't stick that well.

[Lee Martin]

ill second the rule

Sliglty off topic but on rostums where the transmitter compound is on the rostum, why are the baskets all in heat order (eg lined up 1-2-3-4... etc).

I find it always causes a mass 'kafuffle' between heats with the heat comming off and heat going on returning/collecting their tranny's from the same location. Could the baskets not be be lined up as "1-3-5-7-9-11-2-4-6-8-10-12"?? seperating the people returning tranny's from those collecting.

[Nick Goodall]

Think it should go as a new topic really, but why not just have a Tranny box for No1, 2, 3 etc etc so you have all the people that are Car 1 in one box, or something? That would also work wouldn't it?

[ashleyb4]

I would like to put forward the rule that we are allowed to cut the std BRCA numbers down. Anyone want to second it??

[MK999]

why not kill 2 birds with one stone and have your national finishing position (new F rating ) as your number which is painted onto the car in a certain fashion, must be black on white background with stencil style templates supplied by the BRCA maybe?, all those without a finishing position cause a problem though, would have to have ridiculously high stick on numbers, like 100+. Noticed someone suggested putting numbers on the wings, problem is wings can and will come off

[ashleyb4]

That will be impossible what happen when you go to a smaller meeting or you go to a regional or you got to the euro's or the worlds it would mean even more work for jakie or the timekeeper at that particlular meeting. Also each year you would have to have a new shell done.
