    Never having been to a track before, I'm planning on bringing my usual "road-trip" toolbox, plus non-car stuff like a small cooler and maybe some lawn chairs. Anything else I oughta think about bringing? It'll have to fit in the trunk...

    How much are t-shirts, and what do they look like?
    Do I need a helmet or other racing gear for a big, heavy LeSabre w/350...how fast? :Do No:
    What sort of things do they expect/inspect at the tech inspection?

    Just trying to avoid walking around like this all day... :Dou:

    Hi James, I would say bring a lawn Chair for sitting in the parking Area, a radio if you choose Lunch will be provided but supper is on you unless there is stuff left from lunch. Tech make sure your battery is bolted down, If you have a helmet bring it just in case. It is the other guy that you should worry about hitting you while racing one of many reasons to wear a helmet (my .02)
    Finally here is a small picture of how the shirts will look this year.

    Nope, it doesn't have the stock wheels minus hub-caps!

    Shirts are $15. Restrooms are available but I do not know the Cleanliness of the Ladies facilities. I think one of the ladies may be able to help your wife out on this topic. :confused:

    Couple of other tech issues. Helmet is needed for 13.99 and quicker, so, unless you are REALLY optomistic... :)
    Make sure you have the radiator overflow hooked up. That and the battery hold down are about it.
