Was this for me, Dan?

Note that tape is not required ("may be taped or painted"). Nor, if you choose to use it, does it require opaque tape. Ergo, if the definition of "disabled" mean you can't actually see them illuminate, then we've created a different set of scrutineering standards for cars that neither need, nor choose to, cover their lamps with opaque tape.

Further, what happens if said opaque tape were to become dislodged during the course of the event? Does the prep allowance/requirement suddenly change in the middle of the race?

Covering illuminating lamps does not "disable" them, it simply moots their purpose. They still illuminate.

And this is how we get rules intorturated...and why we can't have nice things.

"Just race the car".
