For the purposes of this section the probability of use will be determined as the current weather forecast indicating a greater than 40% chance of precipitation for the given period on the Wed prior to a race weekend.

I know that opens up a can a worms but seems like a pre grid check would be sufficient when there is not much threat if any chance of rain.

Just an idea
I disagree just for the fact that hopefully it won't rain the first weekend (which historically speaking, is about a 50/50 chance) so maybe all the bugs will be worked out BEFORE you need them versus everyone waiting until they think it might rain. Plus the fact that just like lever guards, some people will get to the track and not know about the new rule. Again, hopefully the first weekend is dry, but it might help those people that don't know to get one working before they need it.

Also, just from personal experience, every time I put a camera on my tail section I almost always kick it at some point. I know a lot of people do it, but I'd recommend mounting it under the tail section as opposed to on top.

And holy **** - just get a damn light and use some common sense. It's not that complicated.
