It can be frustrating to arrive at
the track and realize that a lot of stuff that you needed or would
really like to have has been left at home.
Here a list of things that I typically bring for a weekend at the
racetrack. It may look a lot of stuff... and it actually is... just
be patient, loading and unloading the
truck, van or trailer may not
be the fun part of the trip, but having your stuff around when you
need them will make your weekend more comfortable and enjoyable.
