Don't Forget the Nut Behind the Wheel

You are the car's most important component. So while excitement may make it tough, get plenty of rest the night before. It sounds boring, but don’t forget sunscreen, and bring a cooler full of water. When you're baking in the sun, you'll thank me.

Some clubs may have loaner helmets, which are the equivalent of bowling alley shoes for your head. Just go buy your own, and make sure it meets the safety requirements of your class and sanctioning body. Double check the rules for any clothing that’s required on track.

Also grab a lawn chair or two, since plenty of pit areas are short on seating. Make yourself comfortable enough, and by the end of the day, it'll be impossible to wipe the huge grin off your face.
