STOCK PRO CLASS
Rules and Regulations

Golden Rule:  All Tamiya Cars and parts only.

Welcome to the Brickyard Stock Pro Category Racing.  Please read the guide carefully.  This will serve as our rules and regulations.  These rules will be strictly implemented.  

No modification to any chassis, body, motor, tire, wheel, battery, and parts can be accepted.  

The most important rule once again, ALL TAMIYA only!

1. ***ALL TAMIYA ONLY***. **This will be STRICTLY enforced through inspection before every race. If it is determined that a car contains "non-Tamiya" parts, the car and racer will NOT RACE that heat and will be considered as having lost the heat. While it is acceptable to paint parts, if the inspector’s are unable to identify that it is an original Tamiya part, the inspector may conclude that it is NOT A TAMIYA PART. The inspector's decision is final.
2. One car per racer only. We register the racer, not the car.  
3. Alkaline (1.5V) or Rechargeable batteries (1.2V) are allowed. Be advised that there may not be enough outlets in the venue. We will not be able to provide additional outlets. Please bring enough batteries.  
4. This will be the Brickyard Stock Pro Category.
