What all do you take a trackday?

Just wondering, what you all take to a trackday, aside from your bike and riding gear.

When I go to a race or a track day here is what I take besides my bike, trailer Tools (never can get enough) Spares (you do not want to wreck and break a brake lever and be out the rest of the day just because of that) canopy (for bikes and myself) tent (to sleep in the night before, unless we sleep in the trailer) big piece of green carpet to put the bikes on grill to cook on LOTS of water.....i usually get 2 cases and throw them in a cooler beer for the night after the race:beer

Air Tank & guage,LA Sport Chalk & (front/rear) stands, chairs, fire ext., 5' x10' exercise mat (My kids like to play on it, Hell I Like to sleep on it between sessions if the kids would let me) Food (ditto on the case of bottled water & tools), camera & film, change of clothes, . . .

if you're required to safety wire things, take a pair of safety wire pliers and wire. Sucks to need to change or check something and then not be able to go back out becuase of no safety wire.

Bring a Razor or, better yet, an electric Bladez scooter to get you from the pit garage to the bathroom to the roach coach. I know I'm a lazy a$$, but it beats walking around in 98* weather in your suit!

Don't forget the key, if your bike still needs it for the gas cap. Here's what it looks like if you do (no, that's not me in the pic, but it was my idea on how he could fill up his tank):

SOme things I take: Trailer Folding chairs Change of clothes Lots of Gatorade Complete tool set (hand tools, power drill, air tools, complete) Zip ties, duct tape, electrical tape, safety wire, etc etc Nuts, bolts, washers Spare parts Plenty of extra fuel Extra Wheels Take-offs for sale Generator Extra gear, including spare leathers, gloves, and back-up helmet Lots of Howard Leight Max-1 ear plugs Front and rear PitBull stands Warmers on cold days Battery Tender and cable Battery and beacon for lap timer Camera Plus everything else I'm forgetting at the moment

Eyespy, you left out the kitchen sink. :D For a Track Day, if I go down and ruin my leathers, I won't be needing backup leathers because I'll be done for the day. The only thing I would add is something to clean your visor with, and maybe a spare visor.

Kitchen sink LOL, that reminds me, though, of a few things I forget to mention: Distilled water Engine oil Brake cleaner Lithium soap grease Wheel bearing grease Brake fluid Factory service manual Honda Polish spray cleaner WD-40 Kerosene Spare brake pads Isoproply alcohol Etc Etc

:bash If you crash-------_________________ bring someone along to put your gear up and drive ya home. and err... if ya take the helo home. :owwn3d

Man I cant believe the gear you guys bring along. On the way to the track (which I ride to cause I dont have a trailer), I fill 'er up and do tyre pressures. Icheck all fluids the night before and if required change oil and filter. And give one whole bike a bit of a check over for anything loose. I take my back pack and throw in heaps of drink and a few munchies. Depending on the weather I take a clear visor as normally I have a tinted one on my helmet. Thats about it.

Porno mag to read during brake..(because they are so fun to read) 2. Computer to write down all you stupid mistakes. 3. Ton's of PEPSI (Though not esential but a personal fav...) 4. A hot chick to sit on your bike...(makes you look important) 5. And last some friends to laugh at you when you crash or get passed by the slowest guy on the track...hehehe :lol :finger

nice trailer eyespy.....I just purchased a 6x12 enclosed last week and plan on painting and laying checkered flooring etc.....how much does a piece of flooring usually run?....I would like to throw a couple cabinets in the front as well

I saw a guy at My last Track Day . . . He had all his wrenches and sockets (with ratchets attached) layed out in order of size (smallest to largest). Eesssh talk about organized . . . No wonder it takes Me so dam long to find one tool thats always buried at the bottom of My tool box.

I had the trailer built to my specifications, so it was complete when I took delivery. Cabinets would be very convenient, probably across the front. Post some pics when you can.

Hey eyespy, I see you have a big stack of tires.. do you mount them yourself?? If so how??

heres the best tip ever for us track guys. go to chemist/ drugstore, and buy those stick on nose clasps that gp riders use. they open your nasal airways and they really help breathing, which i'll bet we all forget to do properly sometimes on the track. they really are great:yesnod wipe nose first with isopropyl(rubbing)alcohol. also i take a laser pyrometer to record tyre temperatures. i write down suspension settings tyre info etc on keith codes back pages out of twist of the wrist.:fact

I am about the same.. i ride to Philip Island track with what i carry and topup with fuel around the corner from the track.. i normally have ppl that also go with trailers etc, so I just give them some $$ so i can fill when i run low.. i ride 90mins there, then do 6-8 20mins sessions, then ride home.. def sleep well that night

G'damn! I definitely need to get a better paying job! Thanks for the eye candy, Eyespy!:rock

eyespy that trailer is so Fing nice

eyespy, the only thing you left out is : lots of MOTRIN and a friend to help you drive everything home for days when you crash.... John

I'll take that under advisement :crash LOL
