Come on man. That's just Urban Myth. No one hangs out and parties in the paddock once the track is closed.....

A bike. If you can fit it in the trailer it’s great to have. Hopping on a bike is way easier than using your tow vehicle or track car if you need to go somewhere far. Like a drivers meeting.

I go through what is now a pretty mature checklist any time (race or DE) I take my air-cooled racecar to the track. I organized it by area (truck front, trailer, packout box, etc) so it's faster and easier to check things off. I built the original version from a similar thread here on RL so I'll make it avail to anyone that wants it (excel file). Just PM me with an email address.

If it hasn't been so far, I'd add BRAKE PADS, front and rear.

They go from fine to worn out very quickly!!

+1. Fresh pads before the event, and save the ones you took off.

I scanned this thread for content and noted various tools, bourbon, cigars, secret credit cards, and beer.

Did anyone mention hookers yet?

Scanned it?
Sound more like you fine tooth combed it.
As for the hookers, I believe etiquette requires that blow has to come first, so......

I’ll add hookers and blow to the list.

Nice catch JD.

Wasn’t it a tool that closed it in the first place?

Maybe a Canadian tool?

Maybe an American tool?

You really want more tools involved with the border closure ?

If he heeds the advice in this thread, by the time the OP finally gets to the track, he’s gonna be pretty waisted.
Between the martinis and cocaine, how’s he gonna drive at all?
And once the hookers finally get done with him.....

Rennlist at her finest!
