I have...
Towels
Glass Cleaner
Painters Tape
Tools
Jack
Jack stands
IR temp gun
Rain clothing (its going to rain)
Umbrella
Large tupperware container
Extra oil and brake fluid
Clear rubber hose for bleeding brakes (including container)
Picking up food on the way there
Pads are in good shape- Rotors are like new thickness
Checked oil level
Brake fluid is < 6mos old only one track day
Camera and batteries (along with windshield mount)
HELMET- I just thought of that making this list, in car now...

Anything you could add, I really want tomorrow to go smoothly.

Pacific Raceways, wth you are from WA? Where at?

Pics are mandatory, there will be a large writeup or my day with at least a dozen pics and a separate writeup on the XYZ brakes.

Also I am recording some of my runs

Lots of water and some sort of energy bar. I love Cliff bars for track days.
