What parts do you bring for a race weekend?

Slightly OT but related, I created a driver's checklist which I laminated and tape to the inside of the 1/4 window next to the driver's door facing out. I can't tell you how many times I've had to climb back out to get something I forgot.... Simple stuff like switching on the battery under the hood, pulling the pin on the fire bottle, filling the cool suit cooler, gloves, cleaning the windshield, checking tire pressures, checking fuel, torquing the wheels, etc.....

Sounds silly, but I am still working on the "must haves" for a race weekend to keep the car running. There always seems to be something simple that ends up giving you the shaft.
My typical kit for an air-cooled 993:
DME relay,
Spare computer (if raining)
Lug nuts, seats bolts, wheel studs, rotors, half shaft, coil, dist cap, rotor, plugs, spare flywheel sensor, used spare clutch, pressure plate, MAS air flow sensor, air filter, big box of bolts for various fittings (CV joints), wheel bearing, drop links front and rear, fuel injectors.
At this point, I have had to service all of the above at the track less the clutch.
What am I missing? Toe links? Anyone care to add the odd parts not covered?

I didn't see spare fuel pump or brake caliper rebuild kits on the list.

I bring spares for vitually everything outside the case from electronics to sensors to axles, all suspension components, shift cables, shifters, to bearings, fuel pumps, hoses, fuelsafe parts, hardware....
I carry 16 big cases stock full of new parts.
I have a spreasheet of parts numbers, descriptions, and box numbers...
Heck I even bring spare hubs and bearings for the trailer as well as 4 spare mounted tires - so I am bit proactive LOL...
Because I have learned from so many years of racing that anything can and will fail.
