Essentials
-Shitloads of drinking water and somesort of gatorade like substance(drink water before you're thirsty, take it to the AM meeting)
-food, figs and bananas are great sources of potassium
-something to sit on, fold out chair, cooler, whatever
-EZ-Up canopy, very nice to have-it will help you make friends too
-tools, just in case, don't go to the track to wrench-have it all done beforehand. last time I was at the track my bike was fine-'til I got there...DOH! the only thing you should be wrenching is tires if you're getting new ones at the track. You need a tire pressure guage, an air can is nice to fill tires as well.
