It's looking like I will be getting the race tires for my Challenge car from another member at the event itself- will there be a place at the event itself to get those tires mounted and balanced, or is there someplace nearby where I can get that done the day of the event? Thanks!
I am in the same situation.
If the date code on the tires is new enough (two years or less, maybe?), Walmart usually mounts tires fairly cheaply.
I have done similar. Get the tires in your hands Thursday night if possible. Bright and early on Friday we stopped at a Firestone and had them mounted. Get there early before they get into the days work.
Here is a random shop not far from the hotel. Hours 7a-7p.

Let me know if you do need mounting services. Most of us "car guys" in town use this shop. They are great and do us solid every time.

I'm pretty much certain to need to get tires mounted since another member is bringing them with him, so I'll have to run by there first thing Friday morning to get them mounted.
Last year I needed 1 inch spacers in the saab bolt pattern (5x110 I think?), and there was a kustom shop in town right near the track that had some IN STOCK. Blew my mind. They probably have capability to mount almost any tire to almost any rim there, since most of the cars on premises were sporting 24inchers.
