We are inviting you and your known car. If you plan to bring a different car, please let us know beforehand so we can approve.
Shootout eligibility is based on the car you entered. If your primary car breaks on Friday's first run you may race a different car but will be ineligible for the shootout. Part of winning the KOTM championship is building a reliable car. Your car number will only be transferred to a single driver car (No three driver cars).
