During the weekend, teams must equip the car with all four NASA decals while the car is in use on the track. Decals from other sanctioning bodies are prohibited. The numbers on the vehicles must be unique and cannot be more than two digits. Finally, the cars must be equipped with at least one working headlight, brake light, and taillight.
