Then get to NHIS PROMPTLY on Thursday afternoon, and be the first in the tech line at 7:00 PM sharp. Your car will be required to go through a thorough safety inspection, including measuring rollcage tubing size and wall thickness (be sure to drill the mandatory inspection holes), seats, belts, and so forth. "New logbook" inspections take a lot more time than the recurring annual inspections, and you will *NOT* have time to babysit that on Friday morning.

When you get up on Friday morning you will want to be dressed and ready to go; your day will be very busy and you do not want that hanging over your head.

Only with prior competition experience. I suggest you spend your Sunday afternoon volunteering to work with F&C or some other specialty; it's a great way to learn.
