I'd be starting both days with fresh engine oil, and run the race gas both days.

Additions:
20lb fire extinguisher (5lb one in the car might not cut)
2x4's

Excellent List. I'm currently building my No Star Bash list, and you caught a few things I missed.

This might sound dumb but I've taken it with me. And lots of people think it's a good idea. A garden sprayer pump. In between sessions I'll leave the fans running and hit the radiator with it. Helps with cool down times.

You probably have it in your tool kit but I don't leave the house without a good drop light and flashlight and brake cleaner.

bring a big hammer, and also a bigger hammer.
I also bring a few 2x4s, and the usually come in handy.

Bottom of the tool box, as with brake cleaner and GOJO.

Love it, but I run a clutch fan with Rb26 blades. I think hood risers will be sufficient if the ambient air temps are climbing.

I'll add another one in there. I have one of those lights that you strap your head, keeps the light where you're looking and both hands free.

bot or nah?

Media loved the car, and so do I. All we had to do on the race weekend was change wheels, a quick re-bleed of the brakes, and adjusting tire pressures. My friends and I did a great job with this one. Packed all that shit, only had to touch the floor jack, impact, and tq wrench. Sold one of the BNIB axles to a dude at the track, he snapped one of his.
