I posted the wrong rules previously. The following rules are the rules that will be followed for 600 Micros on Jan 20-21 during the BK4 Event at Salem Indoor. My apoligies for the confusion.

Why a change on the tire rule. We have run salem for four years on american tires and that is all we have. We live 30 miles from the track planned on practice friday and race saturday. We have two cars that would have been there. With entry fees and pit passes and with how many people that come with us that is $300.00 min spent just at the track.
