You can only pre-purchase tickets the day you want to race and the tickets are purchased for a specific time. Highly recommend showing up when they open to purchase your tickets for the times you want and to register your drivers (you can also do this online). Show up at least 30 minutes before your scheduled time.
I showed up randomly on a Saturday and had no problem jumping in with other racers.
Thanks @Manuel
