Minimum weight display

[Continuum]

I didn't find another thread about this...

How are people planning to display the minimum weight for their cars to satisfy GCR 9.3.29.D?

Missed that! Thanks for posting. I"ll probably get a 1" high sticker for the drivers side.

I have decals (thanks Marc!) that met the originally approved text of the rule, 2" tall and right under the class designation. after RM11-13 cam out and removed the 2" and 6" portions of the rule, Marc made me another set, about 1" tall because the others are just huge.

Very nice Sandro: No requirement for height/placement, just put it where it's visable to Tech. I'm considering putting a sign on the roll bar/harness bar intersection. You know, right where you'd place a tech sticker.

I don't recommend that. The purpose of this rule is so that as you're coming across the scales the guy sitting at the table with the books and the scales readout can simply look up at your car and easily read your numbers. If you make it difficult and/or they have to go looking for it, you're defeating the purpose and will likely be asked to fix it.

On the other hand, it's also a nice cross-check for competitors to see what they're declaring.

Don't be "that guy" and dink around with the intent of the rules...do it right, make it easy for everyone. Put it on the side of your car, right next to your number and class.

9.3.29.D, p96 Jan 2012:

D. Displaying Minimum Weight
Except for classes in which there is only 1 required minimum weight (i.e., ASR, FB, FC, FE, FM, FS, FST, FV, SM5, SRF), all cars shall display the correct minimum weight specified in the current GCR in a manner that is clearly legible to the scrutineers at the scales. Cars that are run in more than one class must display the correct minimum weight for each class so that it is clear which weight applies to each class.

Perfect. Thank you Sandro!

For what it is worth to the broader discussion. I am going to put it near my class stickers on both sides. If I can help the techs out and get out of impound quicker on those 100+F days I am happy to do it.
