Support stuff
These are the items I think are important for us. YMMV!
Air Gauge. A good gauge, not a pencil type. One with a bleed valve is worth having. Some people like digital. I like old school analog.
Air compressor. Proper pressure is critical. I highly recommend the compressors that use a battery and you recharge. Much better than the ones you plug into a cigarette lighter. Another option is an air tank if you have the room to haul one.
Water sprayer. If you run R tires, thermal management is important. Overheated tires are slippery and also will reduce tire life.
Tire Bags/Warmers. Blackwatch sells these. Important if you are serious about winning and it is cold out. Important if you need to transport tires inside the car and want to keep your interior clean.
Sunscreen, Hat, Sunglasses, Liquids. Take care of the driver!
