Are you running All-terrain tyres in those pics? I thought others said no off-road tyres?

I found the rules. My car doesn't meet them yet.

The Car:
Pretty much any vehicle that will pass a basic safety check (not roadworthy check) Some of the items checked are:

* Seats not broken and bolted in OK. (So you can drive without the seat moving, and it shouldn't move if you have an off)
* Seat belts work and not damaged (So they won't let you fall out if you do have a little oops!)
* Two return springs on throttle ( so throttle will still return to off if one breaks)
* Positive battery terminal is covered by at least electrical tape (to stop chance of sparking), and battery secured.
* If registered, you must present an extension letter from your Compulsory Third Party insurer stating the car and the event. Just go in to an office, or try by phone - it isn't hard.
* Tyres not showing wire/canvas/obvious sidewall damage. Also no rally/off road tyres. Normal road tyres are fine.
* Fire Extinguisher at least 0.9kg, with a metal mount (not plastic like a lot of really cheap ones) Should be 40-50 dollars. Must be in date, ie on the bottom there is normally a year stamped. Must be within 3 years.
* If you have an electric fuel pump it must switch off when the engine stalls ( so it can't pump fuel out of a broken fuel line in an incident). If you have an unmodified late model car it will have this from factory.
