I'm doing my first ever HPDE this upcoming weekend and I'm looking for a checklist of things to be sure to bring. Besides leaving my ego at home and bringing the car, helmet and lots of water I have some ideas but someone here must have a good checklist of what to bring. Help!

Brake fluid and wrenches for the bleed nipples. And for the a pad change if you're thinking about track-rated pads, those things make a terrible noise on the street (you'll want to change back to your street pads before you leave). Most people really don't know what a racetrack does to brakes until they feel it for themselves.

Not all track pads make noise. In addition to water, maybe something to snack on. A folding chair is nice for resting between runs. A good hat to shade your eyes and protect your hair. Depending on the weather, a jacket is nice. Rain gear ? A jack,just in case. Some basic tools, duct tape and safety wire.
