If it starts to rain during the race you may get a “rain lights” signal from Start/Finish. If you can’t turn them on from the cockpit, you would have to come into the pits to do that. <div>At that point you’ve lost position.</div><div>No requirement as far as I know, but just pointing out a possible issue.</div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jan 4, 2026, at 7:39 PM, Jason Sukey via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Last year at MoSport, tech took it very seriously that I did not have a functioning rain light (or factory running lights). <div><br></div><div>The inspector had to call over his boss, a special note was sent to race control, and then I had to promise to remove myself from the track if it began raining. </div><div><br></div><div>Needless to say, I have a nice little LED lamp to install before heading up for the Kcup this year!</div><div><br></div><div>Jason</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jan 4, 2026 at 5:35 PM Henry Frye via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">
<p>I ran for YEARS without a rain light, as several others from the States has done. I have never seen a car get black flagged if it starts raining and no rain light is on. </p>
<p>Eventually, I did wire rain lights as Phil describes, simply installed a switch and ran a wire back to my OEM tail lights. The parking light circuit on standard 1147 bulbs is all you want and need.</p>
<p>Please don't overthink this, guys. If you don't run in the rain, you certainly don't need a rain light.</p>
<p>You do not want a super bright lights that will distract your competitors, or as Tony G found out at Lime Rock, you will get black flagged because somebody thinks your car is on fire! (I wish I was kidding...)</p>

<div>Dave and I are running the stock tailights that we turn on in the rain (and the dark). Presumably these will be ok?</div>
