I've been a casual HPDE'r but now I am beginning to venture out farther out from my home track more often. Some of these tracks are out in the middle of nowhere and spare parts will be hard to come by on short notice in order not to ruin your track weekend.

What spare parts do you take to the track?

I'll start the list off. I currently have an EF Civic with a GSR Swap and I know I should not travel anywhere without a spare clutch cable. I've also grenaded a distributor cap/rotor once.

1. Clutch Cable
2. Distributor Cap/Rotor

The igniter is what you need to worry about if you are not running an MSD or COP.

EVERYTHING. No seriously. Everything BUT a spare chassis and body parts of a car. Except I used to bring spare fenders and a front bumper. Now, Ive scaled back and leave the fenders at home-but still bring an extra front bumper...especially for the socal nasa races :p
A spare engine, transmission, clutch, brakes, master cylinder, tires, wheels, ecu, tie rods, cntrl arms (front and rear), knuckles, hubs, RTA's, full array of springs, axles, etc, are just a few spares i bring off the top of my head.
For the national championships or the trip across the country to Mid-Ohio, my 28ft enclosed trailer is packed to the brim-which includes 1 honda 50cc scooter, 2 Honda crf 50's and a Honda Fourtrax-to save the crew from walking everywhere at the track.
The only thing I'm really missing is a press and welder.

title says "spare parts" not tools, you bring spare jack and stands in case your regulars fail?

but otherwise everything I bring has been mentioned

All good things listed here. I like to make sure I bring extra hardware. Such as 10mm nuts and bolts. More that once I have bolted a buddies front bumper back on, that is if there zipties broke.

Zip ties, oil, brake fluid, brake pads, miscellaneous hardware, and my AAA membership card. I drive my daily to hpde's which the closest is 6 hours away, and I don't own a trailer or a vehicle to tow it. So I make sure to bring my AAA card. Didn't think to bring spare axles, gonna start doing that.
