What do I need to bring to Thursday pre-tech inspection for VTA?
Motor (and tools to disassemble it), tires, and batteries?

Headlights, Schmedlights, we don't need no stinking headlights (if your car actually looks like a real race car 
). Case in point. Since VTA is an Exhibition Class and I can document the headlight buckets were covered with black painted aluminum discs, maybe they will let me slide by.

Rediculous
Can we draw them on? How about just hot glueing a couple rhinestones to the front? LMAO @ these rules... Everyone knows that there's nothing realistic about these bodies in the first place right, okay just checking.
Nobody walks in off the street and goes "oh hey look at that sweet scale Mazda!" just because we put headlight decals on it
. Headlight decals don't bring any realism to what we ad doing...
Wish I had turned my attention to this earlier, I could have made up decal sheets and paid for my trip!

I might be a little late but here is a local travel advisory:
It looks like Google maps is suggesting people going south on 35 toward Mike's take :
Take exit 443B toward Belt Line Rd/Crosby Rd
and then take an immediate right into Mike's. While this is technically possible it's sort of dangerous because it requires you to cross both lanes on the service drive while slowing down significantly on the highway off ramp.
If you are coming from the north (aka southbound
) on 35 it's far safer to exit :
Take exit 444 toward Whitlock Ln/Sandy Lake Rd and stay on the service drive all the way to Mikes.
To everyone. The frontage road (service drive) is 35mph and the police have been known to give tickets in this stretch. Keep your racing on the track!

And look out for that tire eating pot hole in the right lane on the frontage road.
