Something that hasn't been mentioned (at least I didn't see it) was autotap. It seems like there is always someone who throws a code and is looking for it.

Plus it helps to check what rpm your actually shifting at and to keep an eye on the little things while running. Anymore, its the first thing I put in the car the night before.

How about a little bit of that Gredex stuff to keep the rubber off the fenders. It works great, and the rubber just washes off.
Tools,jack,flashlight,plugs and wires,VHT,anti-freeze,bug repellent,condom (hope i need it) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
cooler full of soda (track prices will break ya) some munchies,bottle of window marker stuff (kind that rubs off with a towel) Good attitude,oil, and some friends to help push the damn thing on the trailer if it breaks...Think thats it, may have forgotten something.

How about the most important thing before you can get in.

A Pen.

I always get stuck behind that guy or the guy who forgot to wear long pants and decides he's going to rewrite/negotiate the rules with Tech.
