A small tarp incase you have to cover something or put it down to lay on it.
Nut and bolts - check
Tarp - check (and actually required by the rules)
Working on a pit mat with some padding if need be.

I fear that little trailer will be packed to the brim if we keep going...
Mechanix gloves for sure

Yeah... the hardest thing is to resist the temptation to bring everything that we possibly can. Just because we are towing the trailer doesn't mean that we want to be TOWING the trailer.

The biggest reason for towing the trailer at all - besides the inability to carry a 335/35 spare in the trunk - is that you need to empty the car before every track event, which is a bit of a pita. With the trailer we just unhook park and are back on the road quickly when we are done. It also allows for some convenience items - folding chairs, ramps, fuel, etc. that will (hopefully) make things easier.

I asked Mark and Kyle what they felt the most important spare to bring along was and they both gave the same answer - "whatever you don't bring" - LOL
