Stuff Needed for a Track Day
 

Hi all.

Going to be doing a Track Day in January and I was wondering what you guys recommend me to bring. I'll bring my auto-x stuff. That'll be tools, tub of misc items, helmet, camping chairs, liquids (drinks and motor oil), and my Nintendo DS. I am currently working on getting an air tank and a tire pressure gauge. Those will come in handy too. Anything you guys recommend I bring?

TIA.

hmmm a good car ( pointing out the obvious )

Hehe. Thanks for the bump. I wonder if there is an electric outlet in the paddock area. I'll bring an electric grill and an extension cord. Hot Dogs!!! Haha. I am thinking about brining a small cooler to put water and Gatorade in. That sounds like a good idea.

WHERE YA GOIN!??? is it your first time??? i did my first one at button willow. OMG talk about fun.

Here's what I usually bring:

Helmet (some tracks rent them too)
Tools
Pressure Gauge
Air Compressor/Tank
Chairs
Sunglasses
Credit Card for gas
ID
Tech Inspection Form (filled out)
Wheel Chocks
Jack
Jackstands
Ramps
Brake Fluid
Oil
Water
Brake Pads
Camera
Lap timer
Gloves
Window cleaner

I think I might be forgetting a couple of things. I have all of my stuff in milk crates already packed for track day.

Good list. I didn't think about the wheel chock or brake fluid. I'll print out this list. Looks pretty complete to me.

T-hill in January. Yeah, this will be my first event.

If you think it's a big event, get there early,Kev. There's limited covered parking space. Comes in handy to park there if it's raining.

I guess I'll have to do that. Hehe. I want to try to avoid buying new stuff. I figure that there are people who have extra air tanks and tire pressure gauges. They can clean out their garage, and I can get cheaper stuff. Win-win situation.

One of these days, we need to invest in a canopy for auto-x, especially toward the spring and summer.

Thunderhill has an air station at the far end of the paddock near Turn 14/15.

Oh. I still should invest in an air tank for auto-x, but thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, try to bring it up again with the guys. I'm in just as long as it isn't too much. ;)

Totally. We can work out some arrangement. Morning runs brings it and puts it up. Afternoon groups take it apart and takes it home.
