The placement and aiming of all lights -- be they H1/H3, HID or LED -- is critically important and must abide by all ChumpCar rules. Blinding lights will not be tolerated. Overall, lighting brightness and the focal aiming of all lighting will become a "judgment call" on the part of race officials and corner workers Taillights: All cars must have a minimum of two (2) operational taillights that remain on at all times whenever headlights are on. Taillights may be OEM or aftermarket. No car shall have more than four (4) taillights.
