Default Track day checklist

I haven't been to the track since last October and got talked into a track day today that is scheduled for this Saturday at Little Talladega. I just want to be prepared.

I will be running my 2011 ZR1 with 2400 miles on it.

1) Fresh oil as of 1000 miles.
2) R6s have a track day on them
3) Helmet
4) Cooler with gatorade and water
5) CamelBack
6) Snacks
7) Brake fluid for the clutch
8) Castrol SRF will be put into the brakes this week
9) GoPro
10) Canopy
11) Seats
12) Tools
13) Jack and Jackstands

I don't know about 73 rolls of painters tape
Looking at your list I'd add:
bug spray
Tanning lotion

Its gonna be sunny and the bugs there will eat you alive without the bug spray.
The last time I was there I unloaded the trailer after registration and on the WAY to the hotel I stopped at wallmart or Kmart (don't remember which it was) and picked up BOTH of those items.

Thanks guys. It looks like I have pretty much everything, but just wanted to be sure. There are some small things I can still pick up.

The 73 rolls of painters tape was a reference to my avatar lol

Default list

pretty complete. i would add some rags and some terrycloth hand towels.

A wet hand towel sure feels good on your neck and forehead in the heat!

The rags are for what rags are for.
