September 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Poached from Spidey over at www.ducatimonsterforum.com

Basic Track Day Checklist

•   Key

•   Helmet with spare shield
•   Leathers
•   Boots
•   Gloves
•   Back Protector
•   Earplugs

•   Tools
•   Tire pressure gauge
•   Duct Tape and zipties
•   Chain lube/WD40
•   Spray polish to clean vison and/or bike.  I use Plexus.
•   Rags & paper towels
•   Bike pump or small compressor (something to add air to tires).  Or you can overinflate them at the gas station.
•   Notebook or something.  To write down notes of things you forgot to bring, suspension settings, notes about the track, etc.

•   Canopy (or some form of shade)
•   Chair(s)
•   Bike stand(s)
•   Tie-downs
•   Bike ramp
•   Gas can (some tracks have gas at the track)
•   Tire warmers (if applicable)
•   Portable generator (if applicable)
•   Extension cord & power strip (if you’re running a generator and warmers)

•   Change of clothes
•   Plenty of fluids, snacks and lunch.  Beer for after.   waytogo
•   Cooler with ice
•   Sunscreen & Lip Balm
•   First Aid kit/asprin/ibuprofen

•   Health insurance info/emergency contact info
•   Camera
•   Wallet

NOTE: Do not forget your key or your gear.  Before you leave, tape your key in your ignition or tape it somewhere where you won’t forget it (like onto your forehead).  There is nothing worse than getting to the trackday and finding that you’re “that guy” who forgot his key.  I also make a habit of laying out ALL my gear the night before, and then packing it away piece by piece.  Before I drive off, I double check to make sure that I have every piece, including my helmet.  Forgetting your helmet and/or boots is very common.  Try not to be “that guy” either.
