First track day soon...
So I'm headed to the Street of Willow this Sunday for my first tack in in the ZL1.
I did about 4 track events in my V6 so I'm excited to get the ZL1 out on the track. I'll be bleeding to brakes and flushing with DOT4 Motul 600 brake fluid. Do I or should I bring some extra DEX-COOL for the supercharger? Does the supercharger boil the fluid away during track use and need to be replenished? Anything else special I should bring for the ZL1? I have my standard track day goodies (see attached list).

Bring extra fuel cans pre-filled with gas if you can. The ZL1 get plenty thirsty out there on the track and you can easily go through a 1/4 tank of gas in just one 20 minute session. Bringing your own fuel to the track is usually a lot more economical than trying to buy fuel at the track itself, where they often charge a premium. Having DEX-COOL on-hand is not a bad idea but given the ambient temperatures you'll be running at this point in the year, I don't expect you will have to dip into it and use it. It's not a necessity, but lots of guys like to bring a Tire Pyrometer to the track to measure tire temperatures as soon as they get off the track to help determine optimal tire pressure. Other than that, everything else is well covered in your list that you attached.
Hope you have a great first-time track experience in your ZL1. Let us know back here how it goes!

Good luck! This list is helpful as I have planned my first track events in the spring. Looking at Road Atlanta and Roebling Road.
