Vehicles registered for participation in a TLCA, or TLCA sanctioned, event are subject to a 'Vehicle
Inspection'. And though TLCA makes no representation as to the impact of such an inspection upon
'safe' participation in an event, failure to pass such an inspection will disqualify the vehicle from
participating in the event.

All determinations pertaining to the 'Vehicle Inspection' shall be at the sole judgement of the event
committee, and/or its designates, responsible for such inspections. If a vehicle fails to pass an
inspection, correction of any deficiencies may be attempted and the vehicle reinspected... provided
such correction and reinspection can be conducted without impact to event schedules.

The following are minimum vehicle requirements which, if not met, disqualify a vehicle from
participating in an event:
