Default SickSummer 26-Loaded and ready to go!

Well, the car is all set. Fresh oil. Gone over everything. Loaded up the car this morning so I can just roll out tomorrow morning at 0600. Sunday is check in and testing. Using every square inch of storage in the car for carrying everything I need. Got my 1.5 ton small floor jack, 2 jack stands, a piece of 2x8 to put under the cradle to lift the back for tire change, a nice folding chair with built in shade/roof cover for the pits, tool roll and my tool bag with all the tools I could need, torque wrench and cordless impact, spare lug nuts, a small scanner, a box with most of the spares I could need like plugs, a MAF, all of the belts, an electric tire pump, my shop manual, a tire repair kit plus a host of other spares and stuff. 2 quarts of oil, a bottle of Techron for a fill up tomorrow about halfway of the 880 miles. Pretty much can't think of anything else I need. Charged up all my camera batteries, my Dragy and got an airtag to hide in the car just in case. That won't stop it from possibly getting stolen, but it can help locate the car quickly if it were to happen. I even put a piece of cardboard in there so I have something to lay on in the pits if I need to get under the car.

Will carry my clothes and backpack w/laptop and phone chargers in the passenger seat. Looking forward to running the car for 5 days and having some fun at 4 new tracks I have never been to!

I noticed the spoiler. Have you seen any gains from it?

That sounds like a LOT of fun! I'm definitely jealous. Enjoy yourself and stay safe. Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

No, aesthetics only. Unless you are doing track days and have a real wing that provides downforce, most are just for looks.
