Trackday survival kit
Discussion
What do you guys take with you for a track day?
I take:
Engine oil (250ml)
Gearbox oil (250ml)
Clutch/power streering fluid (100l)
Water (for me and the car) (3l)
Some spanners & screwdrivers
Car jack
Spare wheels & rubber
RAC card
Mobile
Is this overkill? I'm stating to think I need a support car with all that!

I also take a big lockable box with a bike lock so I can lock everything up to the nearest lampost etc whilst Im out on track.
If sprint racing add collapsible chairs (long wait between races).
Also take a gazebo if in a group of friends for car prep if it rains or just sitting out of the sun.
Also take a camera as there is usual some unusual cars around!

I'm all too aware of the whole "all the gear, no idea" thing, so i take:
Car
Wallet (containing £10 note for helmet hire)
Sparco gloves
Most of the other stuff can be blagged from fellow trackists if in desperate need. there's usaually a petrol station within striking distance of most places if you need an air line. I might have some oil on me, but i've given up taking it now as i've never needed any before so i figure any future loss of oil is likely to be fairly large scale.
However, if i ever get to the point when i cease to drive like a terrified pensioner, then i will buy a towcar and take everything i can think of.
