13-1: Only Hoosier F45 Racing Tires will be used. You may purchase up to four (4) new tires for the first race of the season. After the first race has completed, you must submit tires for impound for the next race by the end of the next race on that nights schedule, or within 30 minutes if you are the last race of the night.

13-2: You may purchase one new tire per racing event but that tire must be run in the race that night. The maximum number of tires that each race team can leave in the tire building at the end of the night is six (6) tires.

13-3: Tires will be released to you when you arrive in the pits. Tires must be either bolted directly on the car, or stacked along pit road. 13-4: Tires used for regular races must be purchased at Wednesday night practice and left in the tire building, or on Friday night prior to the race and left at the tire building, or stored in the tire building from a previous race event of the current season. 13-5: New tires, once they have been mounted, may be aired to your pressures using the air at the tire truck only. 13-6: When tires have been mounted, you may measure the tires after they have been aired up (limit of one measurement per tire), then place in the building. There will be a time limit of 10 minutes allowed to do this. 13-7: No other work may be done on the tires until they are released on race night. 13-8: Tires may only be used in competition on the car that they were purchased for, unless otherwise approved by track officials. 13-9: On race night, tires will be released to the racers when they arrive at the track. 13-10: Once you have picked up your tires, you may let the air out and replace with Nitrogen. This must be done along pit road behind the racecar. Anyone working on their tires between the car and trailer is subject to penalties. 13-11: You may bolt the tires directly on the car once you have claimed your tires, and then re-air and measure. Air used in tires must come from the tire trucks air supply, or a large Nitrogen bottle. Using air from portable air tanks is prohibited. 13-12: Tires used for the second race of twin race events may be used from the first race, or you may retrieve tires from the tire building provided you have tires available. 13-13: Tires that are used in an event, and that you wish to use in a future event, must be delivered to the tire building by the end of the next race on that nights schedule, or within 30 minutes of the last race of the evening, or they will not be accepted for storage. 13-14: We will run hot laps prior to qualifying at selected events. Once you come down pit road, and line up for qualifying, you will have 90 seconds to adjust air pressure down only. The 90 second time limit begins when the first car in line comes down pit road and comes to a halt in position for qualifying. When the 90 seconds is up, the first car will roll on the track for their qualifying run. All remaining cars in line for qualifying must also stop any adjustments to air pressure when the first car rolls. Failure to do so will result in a one lap penalty.
