This time of year don't really need to remind you, but long pants and sleeves. (no speedos and tank tops!)

I try to remember to bring a couple of bottles of water to save a few bucks. Sandwich might be a good idea too. Cell phone and AAA card for good luck!

A PEN to fill out the tech card and of course your driver's license.

Maybe speedos---no tank tops--- and cowboy boots with no socks

Make sure you have no (or clean up any recent ) oil or coolant leaks..............a fire extinguisher prolly woundn't hurt either

You need a hat to wear when you take the helmet off. Something with a "Fords Are Slow" logo would be tasteful.

Video camera is good too.

Don't know how fast your car is Corz....but I will find out on the 16th at NED....if it is in the 11's or better you'll need a fire jacket.

You only need a helmet if you go in the 13's. If not, you won't need it.

This depends on the track. Some require a helment regardless of how fast your car is.

Yeah, you are correct. But the track he is going to doesn't require one!

Well, I'm glad to hear you'll be needing a helmet Corz. That's

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
