Personally i think bringing oil for top up is very important
Little things like cable ties as well can save your life!

Thanks for that James...just updated the first post and also explained why not to use the handbrake when in the pits.

im just throwing some things up...

money for tow truck (just incase la)
tools (hammer/drill/socket set etc) to replace car parts/panels
spare susp parts (anything in particular?)

[wynode]

That's probably getting too paranoid.......but i do take a few sockets with me!

Gaffer tape is useful too for that emergency repair.
Also, in some cars, if the fuel tank is full, fuel may spill out of the fuel filler "breathing hole"

like win said earlier... may as well be safer than sorry...

if you plan on tracking, best to spend the extra and get at least engine, transmission, coolant and brake fluid changed!! engine because alot of friction and heat will need to be dispersed, trans coz and huge amount of strain and friction occurs in there when racing, coolant coz of heat... and ofcourse brakes! no brakes at 150kmph+ doesn't sound fun!!

rather spend a little more on fluids than a rebuild and towing fee!

seriously wyn it isn't....

I haven't been for a while, but brought all my usual tools:

socket set
spanner set
screwdriver set
race tape
spare rope
etc

I usually have this stored in the car normally and oh did it get used...other car with us ended up blowing clutch...and got towed.... and they used all of my tools lol including rope lol
