Title: Checklist
Post by: Lowe119 on July 16, 2004, 09:19:28 AM
Do y'all use checklists to make sure you don't forget anything for the races? Or do you just keep it all in your nice enclosed trailers  :-[ (I'm a little jealous)?

I always seem to forget something. Here's my list: http://www.midwestattachments.com/racechecklist.htm Anything I'm missing?  :D  8)

Tire Warmers.  Extension Cord.  Spare levers and crash parts. Safety Wire. And, you forgot fuel and extra oil as mandatory  ;)

I would've forgotten the fuel, thanks. I did that before.

I guess oil should be mandatory. I blew my engine last year, because I didn't check my oil for 4 race weekends. Hey - I'm learning  :-[ :D

So I updated my list.... Any more?

BFR. I tried one once and it seemed to push my shoulders up. I put in some atrotious lap times until I took the thing off. I'm hoping I can find one I like. I really don't like wheelchairs.

I won't be at BFR.  I'll be at Grattan and Gingerman though.  I have a Bohn Pro Racer you can still borrow.  When are your races?  I could just ship it to you...

What size you think you wear?

I'll keep that in mind. I'm 6'2" 190lb. Obviously it's too late for this weekend, but I'll let you know. I'm sure I'll have purchased one by the next race.

I noticed one of your sponors is MGM Casino - that's funny, because I made enough at our local casino the other night to get me some new race tyres  ;D Should I put them as a sponsor?

Don't forget a change of clothes... towels... under-leather-wear... cooler... snacks... chairs... an electric fan...

I have a small whiteboard inside the trailer... if there's something we've forgotten, I'll write it down.  Most of my race-specific stuff stays in the trailer all the time.
