Just bring yourself, cars and tools.
If you have any Off-Road cars, bring them. If bad weather hits, you can always practice on the indoor, Off-Road track.

I will be watching the weather like a hawk this week especially since it will be much cooler.

Looking at running USGT this summer can anyone give me a rough FDR? Also is timing allowed on the speed controller? Thanks.

Low 3's for the FDR, timing is NOT allowed on the speed control. Motor timing is okay

It might have been posted already but what time does the place open for race days?

Also what is the format? 2 and a main? 3 and a main?

Also any help with gearing starting point would be super helpful in getting up to speed so I wouldn't be in the way too much with the limited time I will have on the new to me track.

I will have my 17.5, USGT and a Mod TC

The Mod will be the hardest for me on a big track since I am not sure where to set my starting to ramp RPM and my finish ramping RPM. On the track carpet in Columbus I have been getting away with all motor timing and no boost.

On that track I would start at a 3.7- 3.8 in 17.5 and see where you are in temps and adjust. USGT 3.6-3.7

I found some paperwork from last year. I ran my 17.5 TC down about 3.22 FDR. My VTA car ran about 3.17 FDR. Keep in mind this track is HUGE !! Possibilities of a 200 ft straightaway
