Default Racetrack Check List

So I just wanted to see what you guys pack up before you head out to the track, do you have a check list or do you just pack what you can remember off the top of your head and head out?

For example:

Race gas
Jack
Jack stands
Tools
Blah blah blah......

I take a ton of crap to the track.

Pop up tent
Chairs
Ice chest with lots of water, gatoraid, food and so on
Full bag of tools
Jack
Slicks
Lugs for the slicks
sheet to lay on
rags
extra oil
I can go on and on but to tired to keep typing.

The best thing is I put all this crap in my hatch.

Triple A card and enough friends to push you/a tow strap for someone to pull you far enough from the track so that you can still get a free tow home just in case.

I guess its safe to say yes to your question. Make a good list and laminate it. Then stick it to your forehead. Then make another list for things you should check on your car before it makes a pass. Life will be much easier and safer.
