What's in your tool kit for race and touring events?

Here's a cool, cheap tool at Costco:

I think I just found a stocking stuffer gift for the holidays for all the in-laws, aunts, uncles etc.

Here's a high quality, accurate split beam, adjustable torque wrench, made in the USA by Precision Instruments that won't break the bank. Precision makes these and others for the big name tool brands. I prefer the dial, click style over the much more expensive digital, beep style. Just my personal preference.

I'm have these available to Lateral-G members for $215.00 each plus shipping. 6.0% sales tax applies MI. customers.

Yeah, I've got everything in my track pack except for a bottle opener. Good call.

Just kidding.....definitely a good stocking stuffer.

Yeah I don't understand all this need for small lightweight tools and minimalistic folding pocket tools...

Basic needs:

Big trailer
Multiple cars
Plenty of spare tires mounted on spare wheels

Then hire a guy that brings his own pyrometer - infrared temp gun - pressure gauge - durometer.

Greg, you forgot to add hire, pro driver to drive your car at race events!

Check out Cantrell Motorsports in Bellevue. They have full arrive and drive service for track days, so you can skip all the tractor, trailer and tool BS and have them take care of it. You just so up and drive!

Good response Travis!!! LOL


I did look into this type of arrive and drive service... but they're really for people that are busy - you know - like working and stuff... where I have 6 Saturdays and a Sunday. So I have lots of time - and part of the whole truck/trailer thing for me is the freedom to come and go and divert - and add or subtract venues etc.

However - I think arrive and drive is the perfect solution for many people that would love to do track driving without the hassle of space - time - tools etc.

Well then ... you have to have one of these.

I don't go to the track without mine.
