Seriously. All you need to do is register and show up with a mostly working car. You'll be out in the sun all day standing on asphalt so pack accordingly.

Questions are pretty much answered! My car is running perfect finally (blew my motor in march) finally fixed the kinks, anywho, I think in the next few days I will be registering, only crappy part is driving nearly 3 hours to race that early in the morning!
My only other question is, what do I need to remove from the car to race, do I need to remove floor mats, rear carpet and spare and all that?

junk, floormats, spare tire and jack pretty much covers it. Bring your spare and just take it out at the meet. Everyone unloads there stuff (coolers tools etc ) in there spot and just leaves it there for the day.

where do you live. I am just south of Denton, about an 1 1/2 hour drive for me.
As far as timing goes, there is a drivers meeting around nine. They shoot for nine but it dosent always happen. You need time to unload, sign in, we go and walk the whole course on foot to see whats coming(that takes the most time).
Say hi to a couple of people and you have burned an hour. I would shoot for a eightish arrival time.

I may not be doing this event as it is so close to the BMW HPDE and I want to save the tires for it. So I won't be in this event.
Emad, are you gonna make the HPDE still ?

They have what is called PAX numbers. Its a number you multiply to the times of different cars. The result should come close to equalizing out the performance differences of the car and leave the difference to driving ability. Supposed to at least come close.
