The MG Tires Colorado Regional Championship Series is being run as an entry to the US Open National Series for the Shifter and Rotax classes. The tire sales will be at the tracks as it will be with the National Event in Vegas. This is for the race day tires. Your practice tires can come from your dealers. We are trying to make this as equal as possible to the shops and the track owners who support the CSC Series.Craig Mansfield

Will this also apply to the LO206 class?
Yes, race tires only, however, you are not required to buy a new set for every race, only the first one you enter. This will all be easier to understand once the CSC website comes up with online race registration. For you Richard, if you bought yours from GJMS, you should be good as you know GJMS is a CSC Series Track.

Is this being tracked somewhere that Richard’s tires that he bought from GJMS will be good for CSC? Or are they being marked in some way? Just want to make sure I am following the rules if I buy a set from SBR, IMI, or GJMS (why are we doing GJMS twice when Action Karting was available the weekend?) that they will be valid to use on race day.
Yes Jeremy, they are going to be tracked. You can buy as many practice tires as you want from anybody you want. If you are still running under the Karting Coach tent Mike can help you. As a 206 racer, you will simply be required to buy a minimum of one set of race day tires, with the option of online registration which will support the series tracks. Or you can buy race tires directly from a CSC Series track and keep your bill of sale/invoice. That is my understanding.
You’ll need to call Craig about the track selection for the series.

Cool thanks 🙂 Just so I understand. So if you buy the tires at say IMI but the MG Series race is at SBR I would need to bring my bill of sale/invoice to the track to verify I bought them from a track? Or does the track mark down the tires it sold me in the system that is tracking tires? What if I misplace the invoice before my tires get marked down and tracked? Just sounds like I could buy these tires anywhere and bring them to the track and say they are from a track unless we are verifying the invoice as the proof of purchase.
Is it just me or is the buying tires strictly from just the track kinda controlling the market and removing the outside dealers? I totally understand supporting the local tracks but shouldn’t that be racing and not tires? I understand I could buy many practice sets from local dealers outside of the track.
My whole question is why are we required to buy these tires from the local track when we could buy them from anywhere (While still supporting MG tires and locally) and still allow them to be tracked as they normally would? Aren’t we adding more complexity when there doesn’t need to be?
Update. Based on my phone conversation with Craig this morning, it’s not a done deal on race tire purchases. One may be required to buy them at the track during the race weekend or through the online registration. Craig will post the purchase requirements for race tires soon. Thanks to all for your patience.
