Just keep in mind:
When you register for the event you are choosing a class. I always entered "Stock H". If you modify your vehicle too much you have to enter in a "faster" class. I did not want to say "more competitive", because the competitive juices flow in any class, even the lowly "SH".
So, putting on a non DOT competition tire will put you in a class that may be dominated by heavily modified vehicles and all you have are tires on a stock car.
It appears the MT's are DOT approved for use on public roads.

The less fuel you have the lighter your car, the faster you go in a straight line.
However, the balance may be thrown off with near empty fuel. Also flying around corners will cause a poor fuel pick-up situation. I never like to drive with fuel less than 1/4 tank on everyday driving as the fuel also cools your fuel pump (if it's in the fuel tank) and extra strain is on pump with low fuel. I would recommend 1/2 tank or just under.
Happy motoring.
