Rule reminder: 9.1 Numbers and Class Designation

I just want to remind people since the last Socal event we had quite a few issues with this one.

 

9.1 Numbers and Class Designation

All NASA TT cars must display a three-digit number on both sides and the rear of the car unless a one or two digit number has been permanently assigned to that vehicle by NASA TT administration. Numbers must be of a contrasting color to the car or otherwise clearly visible, at least 10-inches tall with a 1.5-inch stroke for the sides, and four inches high for the rear. NASA TT cars must also display a class designation on both sides and the rear of the car in a four-inch height in contrasting color to the car. Class Designations shall be TT followed by the group number. For example, an A Group competitor would display “TTA” as a class designation.

 

Thank you!

It's only "sillyness" for you "little guys" that don't have more than a hundred TT drivers per season.

Someone needs to work with Mid Atlantic. I signed up for their TT event next weekend and there are currently 8 other participants TOTAL! Only 1 other in my class.

Work it yourself. The best recruiters for a race series are the competitors themselves. Talk your buddies into coming along and watching/helping. At least one of them will catch the bug and you might end up with another competitor in your class.

its a much easier sell with support from the region and series directors though, gotta give credit there... SE TT wouldn't be as big as it is without all the help I get from T&S, Regional Directors, Chief Instructors, etc

yeah well, the point was that people are showing up with either no numbers and class or the wrong size or not located in the right place. I think someone needs to get Ken a pirate hat!

We are getting there.

 

What is the reason for knocking out the first 99 numbers anyway?

Because in some regions, people who race also run in time trial. They often have have low numbers and they are given first dibbs on the number.

so again, its a So/NorCal thing thats made its way into the National ruleset... gotcha

 

- Ken, who lets his registration people deal with the number assignments as they're better equipped to do so

Racers are supposed to be using one or two digit numbers, because it makes it easier for T&S when they are "hand taping" the running order every lap. TT cars don't need them, so especially in the larger regions, where we have more than a hundred drivers anyway, we try to assign them as needed to TT drivers, and save some for racers who are going to run TT and race.

 

If you guys are having more than 40 TT drivers at an event, you will likely end up having more than 100 drivers for the season also. It is a pain when you have drivers showing up with the same number. Lastly, the rule allows a region to give out the one and two digit numbers to TT drivers if that's what they want to do. It just doesn't allow a new TT driver to show up with a two digit number and claim it.

We'll have around 15 TT'ers at VIR this weekend - of which you are not one, as per the most recent entry list (?)

 

Don't get me started on why more people don't sign up... it's something we have been trying to fix for 2 years now.
