Some of the one I write down as well:
launch rpm, shift rpm, engine temp, trans temp, weather conditions, wind direction and speed.
If you are planning to bracket race keep a spot for dial-in, estimated e.t., stripe margin.

I always thought it was the difference between you and your comepetitor at the stripe, but I could be wrong...
BTW, thanks for posting up the idea's as to what to record, I know my wife was making up a logbook for me this year and I will be sure to point her to this post...

I enter every timeslip into an Excel spreadsheet with the following columns:
Date, Run #, Reaction Time, Sixty, Elapsed Time, Trap Speed, Rear Tire Pressure, Front Shock Setting, Tire, Clutch, PCM File, Launch RPM, Shift Time, Comment.
One of the best reasons to use a spreadsheet as a racing logbook is that you don't need to get it exactly right at the start. It is easy to add a new column when you decide to keep track of another variable. I also record each run using HPTuners Scanner. Launch RPM and shift time are derived from the data log and are transferred to the timeslip database. I probably spend more time analyzing data than I do racing.
The attached Excel graph shows my progress over my first two seasons.
