On the day of the race you will be allowed to have your car weighted and inspected. You can make any modification needed (add / remove weight) PRIOR to it being turned in. ONCE your car is certified and handed over you CANNOT touch the car again. Please be sure you are ready to turn your car in. Once a car is registered it will be considered race ready. Any car that is altered any in way after it has been certified will be immediately disqualified and not allowed to race.
