Track day preperation ideas please?

got a race track "have a go day" im planning to attend this weekend, just wondering what everyones ideas are for preperation on the bike, me and my gear.

i have done this event once before but was very short notice and i didnt get much chance to organise my bike or myself.

Fuel, good tyres, safety wiring done, tape, tools of course. Food, and drinks (non alcoholic of course). Extra cash, never know what you'll find out there for sale.

Re: Track day preperation ideas please?

Check with the organization to see what they require. Most don't require safety wiring until you're in the Advanced group, but it's still a good idea to do it if you have time. All orgs may have slightly different requirements, best to check with them. Basics are remove mirrors, disable brake light. Tape over all lights. Pull the plug/fuse on the headlight, too, so the tape doesn't melt to it. Good idea to replace antifreeze with distilled water/water wetter. Check that all bolts are tight, especially the oil plug/filter. Have newish tires.

Bring lots of water and gatoraid (or some type of electrolyte replacement).

Re: Track day preperation ideas please?

and don't race each other. bad things will happen. just go out and have fun. a trackday is supposed to be a non-competitive environment.
