Make sure you are your Camaro are prepared for this event. Here is a short, minimum get ready list.
1. Fresh High Temperature Brake Fluid
2. Fresh Oil Change, 15/50 Mobil 1 is specified for LS7s and some new 6th Gens
3. At Least 70% of the brake pad material will be needed to get you through one track day. Bring spare brake pads.
4. Tire Gauge
5. A Pre-Track Life and Death Check, some refer to this as a nut and bot check. We prefer the term Life and Death Check because depending on what bolt comes loose, it may be a matter of life and death. On a lift or jack stands, lay a wrench on every nut and bolt in the suspension and drive line. Give them each a couple of good grunts. Use a paint marker to draw a line on the nut to the non-movable surface so you can visually spot check them.
At every track event I have ever been too I see drivers religiously checking torque on their wheel lug nuts. Not a bad idea, but comical when they haven't checked a single nut or bolt under their 'race' car for weeks, months or years.
