I’m a compulsive list-maker. This list is what I use to get ready for a track day, including the tools, parts, and accessories I’ve found it useful to have at the track. Maybe it’ll help another beginner remember something they’d regret leaving behind too.
This file is an export from the excellent OmniOutliner program.
