Mark bring up a good point and I can see why. I too worked in T&S and
there were a few times where several of us can't see/determine what
numbers are being display. Another problem is when course workers
are calling the cars with numbers that we don't have and we have to check
back with them to get the correct number.

Who is supposed to check for numbers? T&S or Tech? I don't see anything
in the rule book about that. I almost didn't get through tech with my
numbers and had to display them on my car to pass. They are within the
rules.

How about the #3 DM or the #7 DM? Strange styling and reflective numbers
are hard to see. Especially at speed. There were a few other examples
there but I think we get the point.
