I recently experienced my second on track part failure. Power steering pump went out on first practice session at LRP. Spent the day driving 45 min each way to pickup a used pump and got it installed just in time for third practice session. First failure was AOS at WG during a DE. That time I had a spare with me and didn't lose any track time.

I know no one can predict which parts are going to fail at any given time, but what spares do you all carry?

For my 04 Boxster S, (89k on odometer but not original engine) I'm thinking:
Brake pads
Alternator
PS pump
Shifter Cables
Spare belt
AOS

Any other failure prone parts?
