Good question. The January 2010 TRA Research Safety Code says: 7.8. Approved Motors 7.8.1. Research motors and certified motors shall be allowed at a Tripoli Research Launches However, this is the definition for certified motors: 3.2.2.1. Certified Motor . Any commercial motor which has been certified by Tripoli Motor Testing (TMT) and/or NAR Standards and Testing (S&T) and/or CAR Motor Certification Committee, or at one time was certified and has expired, or has been decertified. So, logically, yes, but I don’t know if that is what TRA truly meant.
