Colregs rule number 2 trumps all others. Racers sometimes forget that the colregs apply even in the heat of a race, regardless of any "race rules" to which they may have mutually agreed. Meanwhile, I used to use my RADAR during good weather and visibility to hone my skills. I now use it during good weather because it makes me aware of  boats that I won't see by eye alone for quite a while.
