What's in your track box?

[rwh11385]

I'm cleaning out my garage and organizing everything. I haven't really ever cleaned out the "track box" I brought with me.

What do you bring with you to events? Obviously those with enclosed trailers can carry a lot more, but as far as someone driving to events with room for a box in their trunk... what do you be sure to pack away?

I'll list what I have, but wanted to know if there was anything else I was missing / lessons learned from experience.

Brake bleed pump/kit
Hand towels / shop towels
Spare brake pads
Metric deep socket set
Metric hex bit socket set
Metric flex drive socket set
Brake wrenches
15mm wrench for brake caliper bolt
Zip ties
Duct tape in ziplock
Electrical tape in ziplock
Painters tape
Anti-seize
Gasket sealer
Sunblock
Window chalk
Various socket adapters / extensions
Various washers and nuts
Electrical test jumper
Electrical connectors
Hose clamps
Spare oil filter and washer
Spare power steering and alternator belts
Spare O2 sensor
Spare spark plugs
WD-40
Goo Gone
Carb Cleaner
Brake Parts Cleaner
Power Steering Fluid
Spare gear oil
Belt dressing
Fluid syringe
Funnels
Wire cutter / stripper
Hammer
Rachets
Spare tire iron
Screwdrivers
Ratching 17mm wrench
Adjustable wrenches

Valve feeler gauges

There's probably a lot more I throw in that I'm forgetting, but it's been a while and that's what is currently still in my box.
Lightweight jack and jackstands usually ride separate in the trunk, along with pop-out chairs, ez-up, or whatever else.

tools (sockets, ratcheting wrenches, breaker bar, torque wrench, pliers/vice grips, etc)
chordless impact
air pressure gauge

air compressor (also a jumpstarter, this thing is badass and pretty compact)
quart of oil
gallon of distilled water

plus my jack, a set of ramps and jackstands. oh and a couple folding chairs and a folding tent (great for shade, or to keep your shit dry).

probably more misc stuff. I actually have two bins now and they're usually crammed full. It's funny how over time you start bringing more stuff.. I used to go to autox with nothing but a pressure gauge and some chalk.

yes... after breaking two of them last time, I won't make that mistake again.

I also forgot my pressure/temperature log and pen :p

I assume you implement the "beer for tools" bartering system?

[Stu]

Heeter, you just reminded me to get my pressure bleeder back from a friend. Thanks!

[Dave]

window chalk?
belt dressing?

don't forget a tarp to cover the gear when it rains!

[Hick]

box of rubbers

[JGood]

spare e30

[Stu]

For open-track days at CMP on Mondays... Beer and Ice. No beer purchases in South Carolina on Sundays FTL.

If you don't bring e30 on a trailer - AAA card.

If you don't bring e30 on a trailer - AAA card.

are you guys that worried about your cars breaking down or do you plan on running into a wall? :p

actually thought of a couple other things I always bring - roll of duct tape and zip ties. I saved somebody's ass at an autox who didn't have a battery tie down with a shit load of zip ties..
