I have a small VIAIR compressor for refilling tires after track use. They are high quality and have been recommended to me by other track buddies. I do not know the exact model number out of my head but I can check. They are ultra compact and light weight.

Most tracks will have air available, for a gauge, Longacre has some nice ones

I like this one for the money.

Lots of options at Harbor Freight, both 12 Volt and 120 Volt.

Most of my racer friends have transitioned to the Li-Ion battery based inflators from Dewalt or Milwaukee. They're too slow to fill up a tire from flat, but perfect for adding a few psi at the track. I have the M12 Milwaukee one and love it.

For pressure gauges, pretty much everyone I know uses the Longacre digital ones these days. You see them up and down the paddock.

I like the viair as well. Compact, quiet, nice quality. Sometime I find it easier than firing tip the big compressor in my garage just to top off a tire

Not sure about track use but I keep this in my frunk in place of the oem compressor. Nice and compact and has tire fill option in case of a flat.

I got a gauge close to what tstafford has: For portable compressors the ones that clip straight to the battery are better than the cigarette lighter plug ones. I bought a cheap HF pancake compressor for garage use (just tires) : https://www.harborfreight.com/3-gal-...sor-60637.html There is usually a coupon out and you can buy for $49.

I bought this Viair compressor based on recommendations here:
Seems very sturdy. Takes up less space than the crappy but expensive stock unit.

Thanks for all recommendations

That's a ViAir 85P. I have one too. It's pretty decent.

When I used to rock crawl I had what I decided was the ultimate - a CO2 tank.
