Michael, which event are you going to?

I prefer nitrile gloves over latex. Nitrile are blue in color and they are resistant to lots of fluids that normally get though latex, and I dont like the feel of latex.

I have these things that I call german socket sets, they are made by knipex, I posted about this earlier, but you can see them here http://www.knipex.com/ You can get them from snapon.

Also snapons line, blue point makes this tire gauge for 25 bucks that lets air out when you push the button, so you can get tire pressures precise.

All that stuff that you bring to the track make sure you have a place to put it because they wont let you race with all that stuff. LIke for 1/4 mile races you have have any liquids in your trunk.

Maybe you should bring sunscreen, umbrella/canopy, but tie it down so it doesnt hurt other people's cars. Check to see if your brake lines are good before you go because you are going to be on them. Maybe get SS lines or some new mercedes lines in case. I would put those on befor eyou go because its so hard to bleed brakes by yourself.

Have fun,

Austin
