I just finished registering for Expo 4 and i was wondering what would be needed during the event
i think it would be a good idea for us to create a check list of supplies we would need .
lets keep the list to things that will be needed at the track (not cloths ex..)
I'm kind of new at this but I'll start a list and i would appreciate anyone who would add items

.............. LIST ................

( ) Jack & jack stands

( ) tire pressure gage

( ) Air compressor/bike pump

( ) torque wrench

( ) metric socket set with ratchet

( ) set of screwdrivers Phillips and standard

( ) set of metric wrenches

( ) extra oil & brake fluid

( ) Spare tires, one or several

( ) several rags to wipe up spills

( ) Extra brake pads depending on current set of track pads.

( ) Extra front rotors just in case.

( ) A folding lawn chair.

( ) Add food and lots of water/Gatorade

( ) Spending cash (how ever much u deem necessary

( ) camera, both video & picture W/ extra memory sticks, batteries, & charger



this is just the beginning and i know i left out a lot. I'll at more as i think of it.
i figure if we all add things by the time the expo rolls around we'll all be set to go


"To Bring" Checklist (this is from another web site below)
For You
Clothing-Cotton is best. Cotton long-sleeved shirt or jacket is better than any synthetic (fire).
Shorts, T-shirts etc. for non-driving sessions
Wear comfortable sneaker-type flat soled non-slip shoes and socks. NO SANDALS. NO HIGH HEELS. NO BOOTS.
Bring a ground cloth or some garbage bags to put things on/in. The paddock may not be fully paved, which can mean mud if it rains
Rain gear - rainsuits, umbrellas, boots, change of clothes. If it is raining and you get wet changing pads, etc. then dry clothes and shoes are REALLY nice. A big tarp is handy too.
Gloves
Sunscreen lotion, a hat, sunglasses, bug spray
A fire suit, five point harness, and helmet can ease your mind. Some or all of these items are required at some events
Pens and pad for notes
Camera and film
Aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen--you can get a headache and you can't take anything else at the track.
Maps
Coveralls
Overnight kit
Membership cards, Check books, credit cards, cash, license
Wet ones! (great for a quick hand cleaner after changing wheels, brake pads)
Cooler (with non-alcoholic beverages <g&gt
Earplugs
Snacks
Folding chair
If you and a buddy are interested in doing some timing, a stopwatch, clipboard, and pens.

For The Car
Duct tape !!!!
Air pressure guage and air compressor (part of NSX toolkit).
If possible, an air tank. There may only be air hose and there is often a line
Torque wrench
Jack
Extra brake pads (front and rear) and tools for changing brake pads. If you don't know how to do it, someone there should be able to help you.
Window cleaner and paper towels
Shock adjustment tools (if you have adjustable shocks)
Full fuel can. Gas may be available at the track, but often only for part of the day. It may also be racing fuel and cost several times more then regular gas. It is not unusual to go through a full tank of gas during the day
Brake fluid
Engine Oil
Brake bleeding gear
Service manual (if you're driving something other than an NSX) <g>
Tires (if you're driving an NSX)



Preparing for a Summer Track Event
[AWN] Our cars all have air-conditioning, but we probably don't want to spend the entire day locked in our vehicles.

So... If you want to be comfortable, you'll want to bring:

A cooler containing a gallon (128 ounces) of water (or fruit juice or sports drink) for each person in your party, and as much ice as you can fit in the cooler. Don't bring any alcoholic drinks.
Lunch.
A wide-brimmed or visored hat.
Sunglasses.
Sunscreen, SPF 15 or higher.
A folding chair for each person in your party.
Something to provide a little shade. NSX trunks are pretty small, but I think there are beach umbrellas that'll fit in there... And maybe a few attendees can get together and each carry part of a big tent or awning or something.
A small towel... Soaked in icewater from your cooler and wrapped around your neck, it'll go a long way toward keeping you comfortable.

Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. I'll be VERY surprised if anyone shows up in a driving suit, but for safety's sake, you should at least wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts (both of non-synthetic materials), and real shoes.

While at the track:

Apply sunscreen liberally.
Drink 16-32 ounces of cool fluids each hour, even if you're not thirsty; thirst is NOT an accurate indication of dehydration.
Watch for these signs of heat exhaustion, and pull off the track and let someone know if you feel them: dizziness
headache
heavy sweating
muscle cramps
nausea
weakness


I know that this all sounds like common sense, but people really DO collapse from heat exhaustion.

Hehe.

On top of what you already have listed and what I bring to the track is ...

10mm wrench to bleed the brakes (sockets won't help)
Extra brake pads depending on how worn my current set of track pads look like.
Extra front rotors just in case.
A folding lawnchair.

Add food and lots of water/Gatoraid and you're good to go.

thanks, just trying to help.
i was hoping this thread would be taken seriously
i guess posting this at 1:30 in the morning probably wasn't the best idea but oh well. hopefully by tomorrow night we'll have a strong list.

 

To maximize video/pictures throughout the trip...

As many memory sticks as possible
Extra battery
Battery charger

I'll keep thinking...

Need to decide which ITR to take. LOL!

Actually the turbo still isn't ready for prolonged track use but should be by the end of May.
That being said, I might just take it nice and easy in the stock 97.
