CACC Rule Change Proposals Summary – The Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs

Date Created	January 26, 2023
Name of Proponent	Gifford Robb
Short Description	Ease the requirement to remove car numbers prior to driving on public roadways.
Applicable Regulatory Document	General Competition (GCR)
Type of Rule Change	Modification
Section to be Added or Changed	22.3
Current Regulation	Competition numbers must be removed from the vehicle when driven on the streets. Failure to do so will lead to disciplinary actions.
Proposed Regulation	Competition numbers should be removed from the track driven vehicles when driven on public roadways. Failure to do could lead to disciplinary actions. Competitors are encouraged to remove the event numbers as soon as possible between events.
Reason for Rule Change	Most cars participating in Time Attack, Track days, HPDE and Autoslalom use temporary or reusable adhesive backed numbers. Proper installation requires a clean surface, so drivers frequently install the numbers prior to arriving at the event. Requiring the numbers to be installed and removed at the track can damage the paint finish and severely reduces the lifespan of reusable adhesive numbers. There does not appear to be any legal prohibition to having numbers on cars and having this rule in place for all puts numerous drivers in these disciplines in position for automatic disciplinary action.
Regulation as Amended and Published	Competition numbers should be removed from track-driven vehicles when operated on public roadways.
Status/Disposition	Approved
