Number panels and numbers will NOT be provided to competitors — you need to bring your own. All other required decals listed above will be provided to you at event check-in.
Upon check-in you may also be provided with additional decals denoting the events you are registered for. These should be displayed prominently on the driver’s side of your windshield.
Grassroots Motorsports branded number panel decals are available for sale in our online store while supplies last. Purchasing/using these Grassroots Motorsports branded number panels for your numbers is optional and does not count toward the required 2x Grassroots Motorsports stickers listed above.
Decal requirements are subject to change.
