Default Post your pre-race checklist

The CRX is almost ready for it's first trip to the 1320. And I need to comeup with a checklist to go through each time it goes to the track. What are your guys checklists?

I'm mostly interested in just the people with track only trailer queens. Not street car guys that sometimes go to the strip..

check coolant, oil levels. check timing again before a pass, as well as to see if fuel pressure is where it was at one point. check your slick pressure after you pull if off the trailer as well as in the staging lanes again. 2nd gear burnout to heat them up.

Helmet, gas, check oil, coolant, tire pressure.
Also make sure that lug nuts are tight, and I have at least a pair of spare axles and tools to change them out with.

I'm mostly interested in just the people with track only trailer queens. Not street car guys that sometimes go to the strip..
10, 12, 14, 17 and 19mm sockets and open wrenches. Pliers, zipties, rags, few bottle of motor oil, air pressure guage, few axles, 32mm axle nut bolt, lock pins for ball joint bolts, 1/2" breaker bar, air tank, hydraulic jack, pair of jack stands, helmet, long sleeve shirt and pants, compression tester and finally some soda and sandwiches in a cooler.

That was going to be my next question..

About spares...

Axles? I can definitely see that. I can see having a spare headgasket as well, and have actually thought about a tranny. Spark plugs are easy enough to have spares. Timing belt? Dizzy?

Howabout this:

Post anything that has ever needed to be replaced (in a Honda) at the racetrack, and the type of racing you were participating in when you had the failure.

I'll start:
Wheel studs (autox, sheered off when putting on the race wheels)


We're trying to get a list of spares that we'll need to be using.
