Ok, having a last minute panic. what do they mean by taping up your headlights when you go on track??

Like this:

Hangover from glass headlight days, I think most headlight lenses now are polycarbonate which still shatters but is probably a bit more resistant (@wurlycorner? Also this would explain why @K30DPC ruined his lenses cleaning them with petrol - hydrocarbons dissolve polycarbonate IIRC). Keeps your lights in one piece (if you know what I mean) and stops them falling all over the track (like if they get smashed by a stone or something).

ah ok, i was wondering if it had something to do with glare. so i can just do the crosses like i have seen on them yeah?

You can completely cover them probably, you're not going to need them on unless it's massively pissing it down and you can't see jobby - in which case they probably wont let you out?
