Ever get to lazy to swap tires
Last AutoX was a rain event so I drove up on Azenis. Its almost been a month and I have been to lazy to swap back to my street wheels. Anyone else do this? LOL at least I am not driving around on V710's

I drove my ITA Miata to driver ed events on hoosiers/toyos/whatever, with two spares in the pax side. The big risk is road debris ruining your pricey dot race tire.
btw- I used a variable speed impact gun over the weekend that pep boys sells for $80. It's 24v and packs a lot of torque. Worked great- incredibly quick. Labeled as a "goodyear racing" impact gun.

I've never understood why people volunteer for the burn out contests. Sure it's cool to watch, but you completely hammer your tires. I watched in amazement as this AWD Audi turbo did an amazing 4 wheel burnout, but damn, was it worth $1100 to please a bunch of strangers? Would only make sense if the show were providing tires or replacement tires.

Does an event sponsor provide the tires? Or is this out of pocket?

No its out of pocket but normally people get away with one good set of new tires such as Maxis etc...
I been running used tires instead... normally I hit up friends a dealerships. For the last event I hit up Joe at Rspeed and got to a chance to used Marty's old rims and used tires. I ran a full day on the set of Maxis that were left over and Marty already ran a few events on them.
Used tires where off 20x faster then one nice set of Z rate tires.
