Track day checklist

[acalliste]

To give new track riders an idea of the types of things they might want to take with them, here is the checklist I use when preparing for a track day. We camp out at the track, so if you are staying at a hotel, you won't need the camping items in this list. Our list is meant to be all inclusive. If something isn't needed then it's crossed out.



Everyone please feel free to add things that you find useful, as well as any tips that you've learned that others may find helpful.

??? What list ???

1st item) Bring the LIST...:jester:

N/m I see the list now.. wow is it LONG...

[acalliste]

Yes, it is long. It evolved over several track days, and still usually gets something added to it on each trip.

We have a trailer checklist as well:


1. BEFORE EVERY USE, clean using only water and mild detergent.

2. When towing the Trailer over long distances stop and check the tightness of all connections, Side Running Lights and Tail Lights at least every 100 miles.

3. Carry emergency flares. And fire extinguisher, if required for operation in your state. It is recommended to carry extra bulbs and fuses if towing the Trailer at night over long distances.

4. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Trailer. Check for loose Bolts and Nuts, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked, bent, or broken parts, excessively worn Safety Chain, damaged Tail Lights/Side Running Lights/Wiring Harness, loose Lug Nuts, loose Hitch connection, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.

5. BEFORE EACH USE, check the Tires for wear and proper inflation (60 PSI).

6. BEFORE EVERY USE AND AT 500 MILE INTERVALS DURING EVERY TRIP, check and tighten the Tire Lug Nuts. Torque from 85 to 90 Ft.- Lbs.

7. EVERY 2,000 TO 3,000 MILES OF USE, lubricate the Hub Assemblies with a heavy weight bearing grease. After each Hub Assembly is reassembled, tighten the Castle Nut until the wheel starts spinning with slight resistance. Loosen the Castle Nut about 1/6 turns from this point. Insert a new Cotter Pin through the Castle Nut and the hole in the axle. Bend the Pin back, locking it and the Nut in place.

8. AFTER EVERY USE, clean using only water and mild detergent.
