I also have my 59 bugeye painted and lettered as I raced it at Bridgehampton in 
the 70's.

The only difference is I added my wife name to the passanger door!!

my '59 bugeye is lettered , numbered and class marked as it ran at marlboro
in 
1962.  been that way for now over 10 years and i have never had any issues
with 
anyone , anywhere dealing with it's being an ex-race car in the exterior
trim of 
the time it was raced.

Personally,
I think it's kind of foolish to ask for extra special attention 
from the cops
by running your numbers on the street, but I also think it's 
pure bullsh_t
that this racing group can tell the people what they can or 
cannot do while
not at the track.  Seems to me that if they aren't at the 
track the racing
org ought not have a say in anything they do.  It ain't 
their concern.

Any
other intrusive rules like telling you how to vote or how many kids to 
have?

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".
