Yep and that list is what Id be taking!. track day cost 500-1000 bucks transport there and back, fuel, tyres, ware and tare, hate to be sitting out because of a silly little part of item you didn't bring, even worse if you don't trailer it and get picked up on the way home with bald tyres, broken headlight or cant get home because the exhaust hanger broke, a bolt came loose and the bumper is dragging.
Spanner check before you leave home...every suspension, brake and driveline nut and bolt.
You may want to rotate wheels for more even ware...Ive destroyed tyres in a day of track time in the road car! or adjust camber settings or similar.
whats the point of going if you don't try...sure ahead gasket might be a bit to far but I can do one on mine in an hour or just under if necessary.
spare fluids are a must including spare fuel if you run special stuff or cant get it ther and more importantly Id never run a full tank for a 15 minute or less session...too much weight...anyway horses for courses
