What do I NEED for my llandow trackday ?

Post by billinom8s »

I know there are a fair few trackday enthusiasts on here who know whats what when he comes to what to take.

There are however, a fair few on here that don't know and Llandow on June 7th is going to be there first trip into tracksville. Can you please help to create a list of things you MUST take to help those taking the plunge ?

To add to the list, please cut and paste it and then add your idea.

Thanks

13, Earplugs (anyone with any sense will wear them all the time anyway)
14, Food - something light to eat at lunchtime (pasta salad for instance), bananas and energy-rich food like flapjack to graze on throughout the day - eat little and often, DON'T pig-out at lunchtime or you'll be asleep in the afternoon
15, Chair - you're off the bike for 30 minutes out of every 45, give your legs a break
16, Suncream, sunnies and a hat - it has been known to be scorchio on the SWB days (2012 being somewhat exceptional to the rule)
17, Decent tyres and brakes, you'll need them
18, A calm outlook, don't get riled if someone passes you, don't try a "pass or bust" manoeuvre on anyone

Very, full zip is the law. Both parts of license. Bead removal is optional.

Check list is all over the Site, every year there is a checklist up and it never gets taken down.

There is no one no the reserve list at the moment, if someone comes along they can buy it.
