You may bring in your own practice tires as usual. Order of tire selection will be based on the order of paid entries received.

PRE-TECH: All cars will undergo inspection by assigned appointments on Friday, maximum four crew members plus the driver with the car in tech inspection. Please stay back away from the car during inspection to allow officials room to conduct inspection. Inspection order be based on the order of paid entries received.
