For that race I would be prepared to have:
-Cars completely gone through and ready to go before you get there.
-Tires that you know will work. (I will be running AKA SS Gridirons most likely)
-As many spares of parts as you can bring as well as electronics and engines if you have them. (never hurts to have to much)
-Also for CRCRC you have to be prepared for the cold. Dress warm so your not shaking on the driverstand. It can be cold in the building (enough to see your breath)
-Possibly even bring a painters mask just in case. (you won't be the only one wearing one) (mainly for marshaling because of the dirt and fumes)
Also if you can find someone you can share pit duties with it will help when you want to go practice to share the duties with someone else!
Most of all plan on having fun! If you have any questions when your there and I can be of any assistance please feel free to ask.

parts , tires , spare servos , spare motor , heater , easy up , chairs , cooler , extension cords ....i mean the list could be endless ...i know we got caught off gaurd at the inaugural psycho nitro blast ..it was cold ...luckily we had a twin head propane heater and tank ..you hvae never seen that many people huddled around a heater in your life ..truth is you dont need much more than you take to a club race ..or well i dont ...i have tired to compact down all my stuff as small as possible for ease of travel ..and loading and unloading ....if there is a onsite hobby shop that helps as well ...and put a solid car on the track ...hope that helps

Judging by your location and the time of the race you are going to I'm assuming it's the CRCRC Nitro Champs?
