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.

Umm yeah I already have my lights ordered so that's not the issue but lets say that I am brand new racer and buy a new bike sight unseen and I plan to pick up race weekend from someone else. No light is installed but otherwise good to go and there is no forecast for rain and the skies are clear so unless I think ahead (which most new racers won't know the rules well enough) I can't do the school or get my first race in even though I have a fist full of dollars to throw to the CMRA. Or for some reason the light broke or won't work when you get to the track after driving 10 hours and now I can't pass tech even if it is not likely to be used anyway. Sure you drive around whatever town to try to find something suitable I get that. Or what about the guys that just won't race if its raining (yes they exist not sure why cause it fun but).

I can just think of several scenario's that could play out to keep someone from racing on a nice clear sunny day because a the rain light. I'm not worrying as all my bikes will have installed and safety wired but can see a potential argument.

However, if its a stupid suggestion it's a stupid suggestion whatever but worth thinking about.
