Off the top of my head:
-Brake Bleeder setup
-razor knife
-box wrench for your brake line/calipers
-duct tape
-Trailer specific lug setup (my trailer is standard)... I roll with my impact loaded with the socket to pull the trailer wheels, you don't want to beat around the bush on the side of the road.
-paracord
-weights for the canopy
-Philips/flat head screw drivers
-Trans fluid/diff friction modifier
-Brake Bleeder setup
-razor knife
-box wrench for your brake line/calipers

What no air compressor?
How are you going to put air in the tires?
Leave the weights home, buy you some cheap orange home depot buckets, fill them half full of water when you get to the track.
Dump them over when the track day is over.

instead of calling it weights we can just call it "some way to secure your ezup"

Awesome idea with the buckets! The tow rig thanks you for the weight savings.
Added.
Thanks! Added.
Must be nice to have provided air 
Yes learned that lesson a long time ago when those pesky weight bags started to break and spill sand.
Four buckets or two... added fire fighting capabilities if needed, no sand

ahhh... I made my own with 4 inch PVC (24 inches long), two end caps, a stainless eyelet, and sand. I string it up with paracord..... works pretty well.
This is a lot of stuff for DE! I would pack heavy like this for far tracks when I was still driving to and from the track. Closer tracks I'd rely on the #HondaChallenge paddock to stay active when something broke.
Here's my add:
Tools:
Channel locks
Vise grips
Spare parts:
Bolts, nuts, washers (I keep coffee cans of these, but organizers can be had cheap on Amazon)
Other:
Lap timer (AiM Solo)
GoPro
EZ Pass
Tire pressure gauge
Chargers for above
cooler, ice, beer, water, gatorade, snacks, food (maybe)

Added! How could we not have tire pressure gauge! Nice catch =-)
you will notice he is also towing... while in HPDE. I spent move of HPDE 1 and 2 driving my whip to the track. my integra could hold a TON of stuff, even with the roll bar in it.
This should become a comprehensive list for people to pick and choose from if they drive to the track and for those who trailer and can bring it all.
all the tools you have to use to do most of the maintenance on your car that you can fit into a toolbox
i have a big harbor frieght toolbox with all my tools in it and a smaller one for all the extras. of all the track days ive done i only really wind up using my impact gun and break bar along with my floor jack to change the wheels
but i still bring everything..just in case.

You guys are hardcore!
You are probably racing. I only do HPDE.
I prep the car at home and then only take:
- Helmet
- Tire pressure gauge
- Phone and mount (for telemetry acquisition)

Dublo is in HPDE but he paddock next to me and sees what the #civicofdoom puts me through lol
Oh yeah, I always take a pit bike also. Lot of tracks I go to in Texas, stuff is pretty spread out. A bmx, mtn. bike or small displacement pit bike let you get around quickly when needed.
Pit bike with 16oz cup holder.
