Is there a weight limit to the bike in USAT-sanctioned races?

I just completed what I figued was going to be my last race of the season. But I noticed the international distance race I did last year still has a few spots open, and it's a few weeks away.

I wanted to register for it and just have fun. Have steaks the night before, eat a bunch of eggs in the morning, show up at the race only an hour before hand, instead of the usual 2.5. More importantly, I wanted to do it on my Singlespeed/fixie.

I don't know the exact weight, but I know it falls under the 14.9 (.8?) UCI weight limit. I'd imagine USAT would have a similar restriction for similar reasons, but I can't seem to find out the answer.

Anyone here know?

I don't think so. Recumbents are illegal; but, most upright bikes should be OK.
