Sorry, needs to be an actual binder. Those suck to lay on a desk and flip through.
Is a lay-flat, spiral bound book ok? I already put a fair amount of effort into laying out a cohesive published package.
Stick the spiral bound inside a 3-ring binder. Done.

Good point. In that case it's welcome to run, but would need to do so as exhibition only. Sorry, but it would be like bringing a knife to a spork fight.

Thanks SVreX for helping me to clarify....yes this means its more than $8. We will just have to use an older less awesome ECU we just repaired for another car to get back in line.
I see on the sticker diagram that there's a round number for the rear window. I don't think my decal pack came with that one.

Oops! Sorry about that. See Nancy at Registration and we'll get that sorted out.
"Any four-wheeled production based vehicle..."
Does this mean the car originally had to be four-wheeled, or does it need to have exactly four wheels at competition? Can it have more than four wheels?
In reply to maschinenbau :
Also golf carts and RTV's are 4 wheel production based passenger vehicles. LS swaped golf cart
Hoping you are thinking of the old Formula 1 car with 4 small front tires.
Shifter kart with an even smaller Subaru van body on it.

This was a somewhat pretty serious question

In reply to maschinenbau :
I've always taken that as originally having four wheels otherwise you could just show up with a motorcycle and two training wheels. Production is questionable. For example my Bradley GT body is a kit car but they did offer turn key from the factory. To me that's production but stepping right up to the line.

A Bradley GT is a production VW that has been re-bodied.

I always assumed the “4-wheeled” thing was an attempt to prevent anyone from showing up with a Reliant Robin or a Cushman.
But it is poorly written (which we should be happy about- it gives lots of opportunities!)

The rules do not seem to be on the GRM Challenge site right now.
In reply to SVreX :
I think the real question is if someone shows up with a (non-plywood) 6-wheeled Elf replica, would it be legal?

Honestly, this is what i thought he was thinking about

I agree he was probably thinking something like that, but the rule still applies to things like Reliants, golf carts, and shifter karts.

But what if my Bradley GT isn't on a VW pan?

Right now it's on an old school wood frame.

In reply to Indy-Guy :
Right. Then THOSE are from a production car. The Bradley is not a production car.
A Bradley body sitting on custom frame rails would not be Challenge legal.
What about a Bradley body with production car hood and fenders taped over top of it, sitting on custom frame rails with a production car VIN plate stuck to them?

Don't think so. (But the rules are not online right now, so I can't check)

Going from memory on the 2019 rules I say my Bradley GT on a custom tub frame is totally legal. Prove me wrong. And how is a turn key car from the factory not a production car?

I did not know Bradley produced turn key cars. Did they have Bradley vins?
