bbp is an unknown quantity at this point
Before a roadracing event I make sure that everything is ready to go and packed up the night before. I have an area in my garage that I store my "track stuff". I use the plastic boxes with the flip top lids. I buy two of certain things like fluids, air guages and spare parts. They just stay in the box in between events so I know I don't forget anything. The next morning I get up eat a decent breakfast and away to the track I go!

Right as I get there in the morning I check tire pressure and fluids, tork the wheels and I am ready to go. Ususally you will have some time on the grid waiting for your session. If it is only a few minutes I will get belted in and relax. I prefer to sit qnd try to clear my head, completely blank, almost try to fall asleep until they blow the 1 minute whistle. Then I fire up the car and do what I have to do!

The preparation is key. If you are behind first thing in the morning you will be playing catch up all day.
