Default A-Stock Autocross, Motul Brake Fluid not allowed?

I'm about to change my pads and fluid... I know pads are eligible, but can we run Motul RBF 600 or do we have to run Stock Brake Fluid to qualify for A-Stock?

I didn't see anything regarding fluid in the rule book so I guess we must run stock but just double checking...

Thanks.

Not like it really matter, you aren't going to boil the stock fluid anyways auto-xing.

I've run out of brakes on a stock S2000 autocrossing before. Maybe you're just not driving hard enough.

I've boiled stock fluid on the street and would certainly do so on an auto-x course.

**Insert foot into mouth**

I've never auto-x, so I wasn't speaking from experience, I just didn't think you do enough hard braking to boil the fluid.

I haven't yet at 7,000 miles, although at my first event or two the stock brake pads got pretty stinky. I have Cobalt GT Sport brake pads now, no problems with fade or mushy pedal since the switch.
