It depends on whose event it is. Assuming SCCA because you mention them,
you need to have a completed Minor Release and Waiver of Liability and
Indemnity (form #9724). Regions should always have these at registration,
but sometimes they can't find them, and parent signatures are required, so
you might want to contact your region office ahead of time and ask for one
to be faxed.

Tires just need to have "measurable tread depth". If they're not completely
bald you're ok. Pump them up to around 40psi before you get to the event -
it's a lot easier to let air out than to stuff it in. Class is probably FS,
but can't tell for sure without engine info.
