What to bring to a Track day

[njd07]

hey guys I searched there is no real threads on what people like to bring to their track days. I have an s13 coupe, not bringing any passengers so I have the entire car to load up. so far ideas that come to mind are:

1. extra wheels/tires
2. air pump
3.torque wrench
4. tool box full of whatever tools I can fit.
5. cordless l.e.d light
6. various fluids, basically whatever I got
7. jumper cables
8. umbrella
9. jack/stands
10. wood ramps

so what do you bring to your track days?

jack stands
Dewalt 18V impact
gallon distilled water

I pack in a small duffle bag:

Bring plenty of water and other drinks if your trying to save money and snacks.

Also carry a AAA+ card if you drive your car to the track and have that warm/fuzzy feeling that you might break the car. I do and I get one free 100mile tow to any location per year.

Just used mine this last friday :)

[azndoc]

Condoms.

Hey you never know.

[Dousan_PG]

tool box
spark plugs
duct tape
zipties
oil (mission and engine)
extra engine parts (in case break IC)
and um...a bfh
jack
axles
ramps

no need for a lot extra imo.
if something breaks, that isnt those, its more serious then a simple pit change.

only thing id like to get more of to change JUST IN CASE is suspension arms.

[kenversusryu]

what really helps is a chair and a big umbrella to block out the sun. Rest is very important. Lots of liquids too.

All the other car parts are handy but i find those 4 are the most important to get yourself ready for a track day.

[Jdotsturn]

if you trailer your car - a spare tire for the trailer

[EDacIouSX]

I bring a little box of tools and some water and my extra pair of wheels.
thats all.

same. trick is to make sure your cars is reliable before you go to track.

bringing tools to track is like saying my car is not reliable for tracking.

not really. you could still go to the track and snap a tie rod or something. shit happens.

i'd say it's more of being prepared for whatever.

Teddys mom... (not in any wrong way haha)
