correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we have a safety tech scheduled for "Cinco de Mayo"? That's within the proper timeframe for a tech inspection for both events.

I think the idea is to check that one event has not caused a problem before you do the next event, not that I've seen that in the rules. When you do tech for the first event just bear in mind that you'll be on the track more days than typical before your next tech, so brake pads, discs and the like should be in good enough shape to go the distance.

Things can happen to a car when its pushed hard on the track. Exhaust mounts and sway bar mounts can crack. Oil and coolant leaks can develope. Tie rod ends or CV joints can go bad. (The list could go on and on) After a two or 3 day event it is best policy to go over the car before it goes back out on the track. No its not in the rules but it is the kind of courtesy one would expect to keep you and other drivers safe on the track. By the way, brakes and discs should be checked each day.
