Numbers and Number Boards Question

[Yorke Oldfather]

Ok, I've read the rule book on race numbers and number boards. But, I go to races and track days and I see a lot of numbers and number boards that don't necessarily fit within the "Rule Book". Not going to call anyone out, but my question is how strictly is this enforced? If it's easy to read with the correct background color, is this stringently enforced. A good example, would be a bike with a clean front fairing with no ram air opening, but having a 3" number only on the right side with a yellow background that's just a 1" border around the number. And if I meet the criteria of the correct front fairing number and tail number, can I have a stylized number in a different color and back ground on my belly pan or lower fairing?

Hey thanks Sean, I was looking for the thread but didn't see it. Ok, I think I have an idea of what I want and what is legal.

Solid background (not outline around the numbers) and 6" minimum numbers. Plain, simple numbers...not stylized. Do not use 1's with a serif...they look like a 7 at speed.

What most don't realize is, when you are standing in tech looking at your numbers and they look clean and unobstructed, that doesn't necessarily translate to the bike going by the scorers at a high rate of speed and/or in a pack of other bikes. I promise you, 3 inch numbers are impossible to see during a race.
