What's in your "save the track day" kit?

CV axles with new nut and retaining clip.
Spare lugs and studs
Ignition coil
ACC belt
Front hub loaded with studs
Spare set of brake pads
Fluids
Spare Idle pulleys
Exhaust gaskets
Tool kit with common sizes.

I have actually never repaired my car at the track aside from adding a couple zip ties. I have nursed a bad front hub home. Have helped others before though. One guy ran out of front brake pad and I happened to have a partially worn set of stock fronts even though I don't have stock calipers. Earlier this year I spent 2 hours at an SCCA TT event fixing another twin that had stripped front studs, had to unbolt the caliper and hub with the wheel attached and drill out the studs from the back to get the wheel off

I went searching for some kind of track-kit thread. Lo and behold...

My club is pretty great and there's *always* someone with tools and extra hands to help out if/when things go wrong though...

Haha.... prophetic.

Saving a track day is being prepared before you get there. Keep up all maintenance and replace things that have a history of failing before they fail. Getting stuck at a track with a broken car is no fun. Been there done that. Thank you Irvine Toyota for destroying my motor.

A trailer with fluids, basic tools and another set of rims/tires. Everything else that breaks at that track is a major pain in the ass to repair and I'd rather do it at home or at the garage.

You know what they say about "no good deed goes unpunished." Spent all that time working on a friends car and blew up an engine within 2 laps lol
