I was at Balckhawk Farms yesterday for an open track day. It's about 3.5 hours from my house. The day went pretty good, but I found out the hard way that my Falken 615's were tired of being sticky.
Anyway, I find it pretty cool I can drive 3.5 hours to an event, run six 20 minute sessions, and then drive it home. With that said, I couldn't stop thinking about what the hell I would do if something actually broke. That and being distressed that I had no traction at all as I would watch Miata's pile up behind me in the corners.
So, for those of us that drive to the event in the car and expect to make it home at the end of the day, do you bring any spare parts with you? If so what do you bring?
I brought a bunch of tools, a jack and jack stands, a 12V air compressor, a bunch of hose clamps, some brake fluid, some duck tape, twist ties, etc, figuring if it were something major I'm in it for a tow home anyway, regardless.
Should I be stocking up on any other spare parts to ease my anxiety?
