One of the groups I run with posted this list which I use often. Adjust to your personal needs:



Track Checklist
Note: Many of these things don't apply to a person in a street car, so don't worry about it if you don't have a neck brace, for instance.
Required
Helmet! - a very bad (and easy) thing to forget
Tech form - Important
Car Numbers – required on both sides of the car and rear, a minimum of eight inches high
Tow hook installed or tow point established
Cotton or Nomex clothing ONLY. No leather or synthetics allowed.

Highly Recommended (not strictly required)
Driving Suit or long sleeve cotton shirt and cotton pants
Fire Extinguisher
Extra Brake pads
Brake fluid
Drinking Water (1/2 gal per day)
Engine Oil - bring a quart or two, just in case
Hat - for Sun
Sunglasses
Sun Screen
Folding chair

Optional
Duct tape
Distilled Water - Radiator
EZ-UP Canopy - Ideally there would be one for every 4 cars or so, because the sun can be brutal. Hopefully everyone who has one will bring one (and it makes you very popular too).
Windex - You will kill many bugs on your way to the track.
Brake Bleeder line
Racing Neck Brace
Racing shoes
Camera
Hose Clamps
Jack
Jack stands
Jumper Cables
Service manual
Torque wrench
Other tools (sockets, wrenches, pliers...)
Grease

Run Flat aerosol cans
Tie Wraps
GPS Datalogger & reciever
Race tires
Spare tire - you never know
