28.2.12 (d) Proposed change:
(d) The vehicle’s minimum weight (in pounds) shall be displayed on the roof panel above the driver-side door in contrasting colors with a minimum of 1.5″ tall numbers. If the car has incurred one or more penalties to increase its minimum weight, the total minimum weight must be shown. The minimum weight must also be designated on the back of the vehicle’s log book.

Reason for Rule Change

To ensure the correct minimum weight is shown on the car for the tech inspector to easily reference.
