Nothing i dislike more than people who are in advanced wheel to wheel classes and dont know the ****ing flags

Yes , this is from zero and more about getting the car ready before even getting to the track. I will look into this and see if I can't add another paragraph including some of those things. It is kinda hard to remember what it is like to be a noob to this and think of all the things you need to think about that we take for granted.
I ABSOLUTELY agree with you about flags. Passing etiquette is also one of my pet peeves. Just because you own a Ferrari does not mean you own the track so GTFOOTW!!! LOL!
Thanks for the comedy compliment, you know what they say about the blind squirrel.....

1. air pressure gage

3. Lightweight floor jack (harbor freight aluminum works good)
4. Glass cleaner
5. Blue painters tape (good for adding numbers)
6. Folding lawn chair
7. Small cooler with lots of bottled water and snacks/lunch.
8. Portable air tank if your track does not have air.

A lot of these are actually included in my second post. I am just waiting for my proof reader to get to it and I will get it up.
I am hoping we can make this a sticky so that some of the folks who are new to this can find it easily and get the advice they need quickly.
