Need Some Track Day Advice - SRT Forums

BlewStreek · 01-24-2008, 10:22 PM

So this will be my first track day and i am still fairly new to the tuner scene so with that said i am wondering what else i need for the track day, or what recomendations anyone may have. So far i have the following.

Mopar stage 1 springs-on the way here now
ATE brake fluid ready to install
Carbotech brake pads on order.
Front upper and Rear upper strut bars
Eagle F1 Tires

Anything else mechanically that you may recomend would be greatly appriciated. i read a few things about the stock studs not being very strong, is this something to worry about or just a rumor. Thanks for the help everyone and i look forward to seeing you all in portland!

Nope you forgot the basics; Torque your lug nuts, Clean car, Tighten everything down, All loose items removed, box of condoms with resivor tip and a small white towel. Now................ that should do it. Hmmmmm. Yep, your ready.

I hear you might also need some sort of over the counter headache/hangover combatant for the following day.

Condoms are for your protection on the track as well as off. Nobody likes a messy situation.

Portland Cure For Hangover

Seriously works!

I dont get hangovers but usually cant get motivated the morning after excessive drinking. This shit works.

I have many friends now that just take them every morning. (Portland doesnt have a coffe shop on every corner like Seattle.)

you have everything you need to get thru the day. do a once-over on the whole car to make sure nothing vital is leaking, and to make sure you will pass tech. battery tied down, no major leaks, enough tire tread. ect

Where did you get to be so smart? I think your ready for a job as a race car engineer.

That is perfect.

Dosent hurt to bring some spare fluids. Brake, distilled water, gatorade.

I hear all the best drivers wear

, for those "omg i just shat myself" moments.

I think the driving instructors probably need the Huggies considering how some people drive.
