I always check the numbers on the cars that I tech, but with 4 people doing tech I only see about 1/4 of the cars that go through. Sad thing is, JG occasionally makes some poor bastard double up on the tape on the side of his car "because the numbers aren't a legal width" ( ), even if they are high contrast and you can read them perfectly well from a distance, yet we get cars like the black G35 Coupe yesterday who had black numbers with a very thin white outline on a black car. I never saw that particular car in Tech (must've come through while I was walking the course), but I sure as hell wouldn't have let him runwith those numbers.Originally Posted by POS Racing
Of course, Tech would also go smoother if the damn newbies would learn to pay attention and bring their cars to Tech with the numbers already on. At every event we'll have 20+ cars show up at Tech with no numbers, then they hold up the whole line while they go looking for tape to apply in the Tech line.
Somebody remind me again why I go to SCCA events?
