[Spridgets] Racing cars displaying numbers on the public highway

My series one Lotus Seven has its racing number from the 1960s in place.  I will leave it.  It does not matter what you think or your silly race group for that matter ;^).  I am betting that the racing group is too snooty to hang around anyway.  I guess that I will go and enjoy my pretend race car now - meatballs, numbers, and all.

You will be happy to know that my series two Seven America does not have its original SCCA race numbers.  I have done some preservation work on it.  Don't worry that pretend race car will have its original numbers shortly as well.

You're the best.

MSA Blue book regulation J4.17 states:  Any means of identifying  
individual cars during a competition MUST be removed at the finish of the  event.
 
Also MSA Blue book regulation Q11.1.1 states: Competition numbers must be  
covered at all times when driving on the public highway.
 
I think that pretty much makes it clear that no racing car (but not rally  
car) displays racing numbers when being driven on the road.  However, while  
a racing car no longer used for racing clearly could display a racing 
number on  the public highway none ever do because there would be no better way 
to say  'this car is just pretending to be a racing car".
