All of this can pretty much fit in a couple of totes. Make sure the totes are water proof.
If I may, a few pieces of advice.
- Slow is fast, meaning don't overdrive the car. Work your way up to speed.
- You are better to turn into a corner later than earlier and adjust as you go along. Turning in early leads to more spins and off track excursions that turning in late.
- If you can have an instructor ride along do it! Best performance mod you can get.
- Have fun. That is the reason for going.

Always solid advise! I should have given better account of my experience. This will be my 5th track day, 2nd at Road Atlanta.
