The coolant rule is for racing not HPDE, and you could use those tires.

The brake stuff sounds like a good idea.

You don't need to change out your coolant and the NT01's are perfectly fine. If you've been to a auto-x the tech is pretty similar.

ok, sounds good. next question, the the tires were take offs, most of the tread is gone but the dots are still there. is there a minimum depth on the dots?

i am running regular advance pads right now, it was suggested i go to a set of hp pluses. what is the snell requirement on the helmets?

Tires are checked in tech by sight and touch, not tread depth. If you can still see wear bars they're probably fine, but check 'em during the event to make sure they haven't corded. Helmet question is answered in the event packet pdf linked above.

i have nt05's on the car, they are brand new. i didnt want to beat the hell out of those tires if i can run some take offs. i will see if i can get my hands on another set of take offs to have as a back up. i am guessing they have a tire machine at the track? as long as they are DOT tires am i good to go with them? Obviously they need to be in safe for use condition.

i see the ratings. i will have to check my helmets. i have one that is snell and i think m rated, not sure what rating though and i have one that is bsi rated, not sure if its m rated or not. they are both from when i had my street bike.

Be sure to look for the Snell sticker on the inside of the helmet, metallic orange or dark brown. That's what is checked at tech; whether it says Snell on the back of the helmet or not, no sticker inside = it doesn't pass.

There is tire service in the raceplex at the track but no guarantees that they'd be open or able to help on short notice, best to check with 'em directly http://www.sascosports.com/
