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.

 

hella mean.

 

Sounds good to me.
