No it doesn't, read it again. Warm engine, five+ minutes after shut down to allow the oil to drain into the pan.

To me, this would be like having someone hook up a trailer for you, but then not checking it before towing it.

Thank you and @finch1750 My manual translation says wait at least 5 minutes for the engine cool down, which made me understand it as it is better to let the engine cool down totally; as I had a very wrong knowledge about this. And I was relaying on that for a very long time So, watching Top Gear and other car reviews too much does not make somebody a good driver. Thanks again.

I got last minute some winmax w4 for the rear

The nut and bolt check was done by Nick Hunter outta 5523 Motorsports. i was under the car with him as we tugged on stuff and paint marked it. I am satisfied with that (hell was there from 7 am to 4 pm, I sort of help-ish, when I hire them for work) And the alignment is getting done by Randy at Chassis Master's

Speed District has a self check sheet for tech. I wanted a full blown one. Theres also the impact of "I changed nearly every input and suspension component in the last 5 months" And i wanted someone i trust to go over it and tell me what he sees
and for the most part he said it was good stuff

~~~~~
I did forget to put hat on the list.

no I didnt read the sticky, decent information

I have Magnetic Numbers #400 for me

Water

I have Stoptech STR 600 in the car, brake fluid wise,. and Motul 600 in the clutch

Car prep will be standard auto-x protocol- strip car of everything not hardwared down. take of plates, put on tow hook. Check lug torque once more, attach go pro to back dash and hit go when on course. (i got a 128 gb memory card on a hero 7 white.)
Deploy EZ up and establish a "base" in the paddock



Thanks for all the input
Really! this is important to me and I appreciate each of you.

When I was preparing the last time, and needed car ramps I've simply searched for dozens of blogs and websites and I could get more info only on one website, where author explained every single thing in detailed comparison of different models of ramps and why you have choose this or that one. I love, when someone shares his experience.

First Track day went well. I over packed for what it ultimately was. Got about 37 Laps in and sort of tapered off. We did like 6 20 min sessions and I stopped after i put my last two gallons of E85 in.

Next time Ill bring a standard tool kit, fluids, and the typical autox stuff and my EZ up ( this time parking the car under it) and a spare battery for the GoPro.

was fun and I highly recommend persons to take care of their car appropriately but just get out to the track!

I was about to drive 5 hours on the car with the kumhos, put down 37 laps in 110 temps with track temps at who knows what and drive 5 hours home no issues! even my brakes where fine! ( S/O to stoptech's kit)
