Look at page 66 of the rule book.

Wait a day or so, as I believe there may have been a couple of omissions in that part of the rulebook.

I'm doing the final pagination for Milton right now and will be shooting the rulebook file (v.27!) back to him shortly.

[GearBear]

While not official, I believe this post will cover the questions about the GT12 chassis. I know Milton is aware that the pdf file was missing the PMP chassis and the Mack Bulldog 3 as I told him last week on the phone.

Soooo,
what are the handout motors for Amateur GT 12 ?
Pg 48
I. Driver Classification (Scale Division)
A. Driver Classifications
1. Amateur Division
a) Racers with average driving or technical ability and newer racers.
b) At the National Championships, Amateur Division racers will use handout motors for all classes.
c) Junior class is for those 13 years of age and younger.
2. Expert Division
a) All drivers with exceptional driving or technical ability.
b) Any driver sponsored by a major manufacturer must race in this Division.
c) Any racer 14 yrs. of age or older who has won in any Amateur class at the Scale Nationals must race Expert Division in all classes at any future Nats. BoD may apply this clause to champions from other divisions and associations after a review.

Handout motors are not mandated or specified in advance in the USRA rules. Each year vendors are invited to bid to provide handout motors for that year's Nats. The Nats hosting raceway and/or USRA should announce what specific brand of handout motor will be used somewhere in their race announcement (although this is not necessarily mandatory, since all racers will be supplied with randomly selected & numbered motors, with the intention that the motors will be as consistent in performance as possible). The motor type & specs are specified for each class of car in the individual car class rules.

From 2012 USRA Rules - Page 15:

H. HAND-OUT MOTORS
If hand-out motors are used, bids from USRA member manufacturers for supplying hand-out motors for an event will close 3 months before the event. The Board of Directors will decide the winning bid, taking into consideration the overall terms of the bid. The winning bidder and all unsuccessful bidders are to be informed in writing no later than two months before the event, earlier if possible.

That's great... except this year's Div 1 & 2 Nats are both in Calif.

(I'm assuming you just didn't read the thread or notice the thread topic)

There are no handout motors in Amateur GT-12, so BYOM or buy one when you get here.

BTW: I bought a couple of Red Fox LMP bodies that were legal in the 2011 rulebook, but are not listed in the 2012 rulebook. WTH is going on here??? C**P!!! Can some post a picture of the RFSC99C LMP body, I want see if I have the right body or not. D%%M IT!!! Get your act together!

Thank you, the bodies are the correct ones.
