What should I bring with me to Texas?
« on: February 01, 2009, 11:25:49 PM »
Thought this may be a good checklist for first timers like myself. I've thought of the basics, but I need some advice on what to bring that I may not have considered. Thanks in advance!

1. Canopy, stakes, lounge chairs, hammer
2. Cooler, ice, food, pop, water
3. Generator
4. Gas, oil, brake fluid, antifreeze
5. Bike stand
6. Loads of tools
7. Leathers, boots, gloves, helmet
8. Laptop, charger, bag
9. Video camera, digital camera, batteries, chargers
10. ?

I don't know about Texas, but most race tracks don't allow antifreeze. Use distilled water and water wetter.  LSL
All motor all the time and a turbo now and then.

Some kind of way to lock up your stuff over night,
and some kind of pit vehicle is helpful too.
Sunblock . . .Trust me you will feel like burnt toast between the sun and the wind, keep well hydrated

EZ up doesn't really need stakes 2 corners go on your truck or trailer  one to the ice chest and one to the tool box.
You would probably do good to have a pitbike of some sort because there can be some walking involved. behind the Heavy Bus

Probably the single most important thing
RACE SAMMICHES
Thats right Race Sammiches! The foundation of any winning team the basic building block of a successful race day. Don't settle for a normal sandwich ! Go for the Gusto! Race Sammiches the fuel of winners world wide these consist of
Honey top whole wheat bread 3 slices
Swiss cheese
Deli sliced Turkey/Ham/Chicken or in a pinch Bologna 4 slices o1 type or 2 slices of each type
Miracle whip NO MAYO!
 I never even had a clue until my first race when I came in after Endurance Racing SRAD handed me a "Sammich" and that was it.
Most importantly you must never try to eat build or give away sammiches anywhere but at the racetrack!

The tool box doesn't really have to be red.  It just looks more like a mechanic's tool box if it is.
