What Should I Bring?

It’s my First Time at an HPDE what should I bring to the Track? 

• Helmet, appropriate track clothing, and weather gear (it’s march, we could have 75 degrees F, we could have 15 degrees F, it could rain, snow, and be beautiful in the same day.  Come prepared.
• Appropriate documentation.  During the registration process you will be asked to provide your Club Member Number (SCCA, NASA, PCA, etc) or Weekend membership, provide a drivers license or a permit, and if you are bringing any minors with you check with the club about their rules and any disclaimers that need to be signed; and your pre-event tech form.
• Any supplies you might need for your vehicle.  Not all tracks have a “track store” this means that you won’t have easy access to materials should you need to change fluids or have a miscellaneous need.  So please thoroughly plan your needs.\
• Food or cash.  There is always some sort of Food Stand/Truck at the Track and nearby restaurants. Not all take credit cards so you need to plan accordingly for this.  You are always welcome to bring your own food items. — medication, should you need it.  Tracks are usually a long way from a drug store.
• Lawn chairs…there are very few places to go and sit…so if you want to set up a little compound you are welcomed to.
• A tarp to put your materials on.  Your car needs to be 100% empty…so all of your supplies and materials need to be outside of your car, a tarp will help you keep them clean and dry.
• Tools…you would be amazed what breaks at the track.  Call upon your inner boy/girl scout and be prepared. And don’t be afraid or embarrassed to ask others for help. Plenty of folks might have what you need around the paddock, just ask!
• PEOPLE!!!  Bring your friends, folks that might also be interested in the sport. There is no cost for admission so why not spend a saturday or sunday at the Track?

If that wasn’t enough, here’s a simple check list of things to remember to bring to the track
